McCoy offers his review of Bodog Poker
Fast becoming a major player in the online poker segment
and already a top three online sportsbook,
BodogPoker.com is constantly evolving as we learn from
our online poker review expert Bones McCoy.
---
Customer service was
fantastic at BodogPoker.com in several areas. They
have direct toll free numbers and I was never placed on
hold. The gentleman taking my call was courteous
and professional. I forgot my user name and
password one time and the Customer Service Department
provided me with this information immediately, once they
identified me through their extensive security screening
of course.
In terms of the games and
tourneys, there are excellent multi-table tourneys,
single table tourneys and heads up tourneys. The
heads up tourneys do cost more compared with other poker
sites. The Multi table tourneys need to show chip
places in my opinion. I had some bad beats the
first two days but have been on a roll of late. I
need to stress, thus far this is one of my favorite
online poker rooms and the tourneys are one significant
reason why.
When I originally started
playing there were no short handed single or multi
tourneys and no speed tourneys, though I believe they
just added the speed tourneys at the time I was writing
this review of Bodog Poker.
Depositing funds into
one's account is simple and fast using a checking
account. Withdrawing money takes approximately 7
days using this method since all monies must be
verified. When you deposit, they credit your
account immediately however and I am told this wait
period only applies to the first check. This is
for the security of both Bodog Poker and the player.
And I also need to point out that there was no need to
follow up with Bodog Poker about this withdrawal since
they sent it the day they promised without even blinking
an eye.
What completely amazes me
about Bodog Poker is the amount of money they are
spending. Every Sunday at 2 pm EST they feature a
$100,000 prize pool, which only costs $100 + $9 to enter. First place is $25,000.
Because Bodog Poker is still relatively small compared
with other web sites, this heads to a tremendous
advantage for the poker player. There were only
579 people in the last tourney compared to say 2000
people at a PartyPoker. Bodog Poker raised $59,000
and had to cover the other $41,000.
Don't worry about the $9
cost to enter (almost double what some other poker rooms
require). The chances of winning here are so much
greater.
Here is a suggestion for
all you online poker players that might come in handy.
I have found so often that when playing during normal
office hours Monday through Friday, many players will
simply log off out of the blue. The reason I have
since discovered - and trust me this happens quite a lot
- their boss has just entered the room or these players
must take an important phone call. Playing poker
in the office leads to a number of outside distractions
that translates into a tremendous advantage to those of us who
are unemployed.
In the above scenario the
games, specifically the head's up tournaments, at BodogPoker.com keep on going. All the
chips go to the active players since the logged off
players keep losing the blinds, and the ante keeps
getting progressively bigger. Let me tell you all
something, I have made an absolute killing playing in
the Bodog Poker room during the week. Fact is,
most poker sites have auto folds so the other player
wins the blinds by default.
And finally, with
Bodog.com ranked among the top 3 online sportsbooks in
the world, you can bet on sports, at their internet
casino and play poker all from the same account.

Addendum
to this review:
BodogPoker.com has recently added a $6, $15 and $25
single table 10-person turbo tourney.
If you
like tourneys as much as I do, then BodogPoker.com is
for you.
