Vegas Poker Blog

Bodog poker comes to you directly from Calvin Ayre, one of the most respected and successful gambling entrepreneurs in the world. His sites are heavily marketed with use of celebrities, connections to MTV and a guarantee of fast payouts. Bodog started its poker site just over a year ago, and its becoming enormously popular with recreational as well as professional players. Its easy to see why! Ayre says hes based much of the groundwork on Richard Bransons methods and he does, indeed, seem to have incorporated many of the more successful Branson ideas into Bodog. The result is slick entertainment value with a well-oiled and proven system of betting. The company is Costa Rican based but does all payouts from the U.K.

The site itself is incredibly
user friendly, and with a
quick read of features and
rules, you can be online at a
table in no time. The quick
tour of the site gives you
an excellent idea of how it
all works, and the graphics
are simple and elegant yet
so much more innovative
than so many of the
sites around these days. Bodog makes it simple to play on up to three tables at a time (with chat features), and their stats are immediate and easy. If your bent is toward tournament play, there are numerous scheduled ones daily. Bodog also has a points system where you can accrue free ones for playing time (1 point per 60 minutes of playing time) which is handy for tournament entry fees. Otherwise, you simply buy points at the rate of 3 per $1.

The rakes are on a sliding scale which at times seem somewhat high, but Bodog does deliver like no other company so there is compensation for the rates. They also pride themselves on their certificate of random deals, and guarantee the validity of the random deal generator. Whats great about them is that they seem to really cover their customers with a blanket of solid software solutions for an ultimate poker experience.

Bodog is also linked with WSOP for contests and competition, and also supplies constant updates from the world of poker. Its a one site does all kind of place for pros as well as newbies and with all the extras, tournaments, contests and freebies, they keep you going back for more.

Because this site sometimes does upwards of a million bets a day, theyve got the system down pat and you can count on 24/7 support either online or by telephone. Bodog prides itself on great customer service at rapid speeds, and from the looks of the site, they deliver!
