Bodog Life.com Overview / Summary
Bodog Poker is an independent poker site available to US and worldwide players. Since their opening in 2004, they have steadily built up a solid player base – regularly attracting over 22,000 players during the evening and weekend peak periods. The sign up bonus at Bodog is only limited by the maximum deposit you can make with each deposit option – this is 10% on your first sign-up and is effectively unlimited. The software looks plain but runs smoothly and quickly – allowing you to focus on the all important poker games.
Bodog Life.com Game Selection
No Limit Texas Holdem games are the most popular at Bodog, there are a good number of cash games available (many in short-handed format) as well as sit and goes and multi-table tournaments. Pot Limit and Fixed Limit Holdem and Omaha (including Hi-Lo), 7 Card Stud (including Hi-Lo) and 5 Card stud are also available.
Bodog guarantee’s $5 Million in tournament prizes every month and have a wide selection of tournaments available to suit all bankrolls. Many of these tournaments have overlays – meaning that the prize pool is bigger than the total of buy-ins.

In addition to the 10% sign-up bonus, Bodog offers weekly, monthly and yearly cash prizes for successful tournament players. Their ‘tournament leader-boards’ offer prizes to players at various limits who have collected points from wins, final tables and in-the-money finishes.
Bodog Life.com Software
The software at Bodog is geared towards those players who think that stability is more important than flashy graphics. The software is very plain yet extremely user friendly. The lobby is organized by game type with a tab for each and separate tabs for sit and go’s and tournaments. Once you select your area there are sub-menus which further narrow the selection of tables by number of players and betting structure.
The tables themselves are again simply designed. A recently introduced feature allows you to see up to three tables in the same window – a very useful feature for those players wishing to play at multiple tables.
