The Bodog Lifestyle

By David Patron


Bodog Poker started business in 1994 as one of the original online gambling organizations. Founded by Calvin Ayre, it has become less of a poker room and more of a lifestyle. It is renowned for its sports betting, boxing, mixed martial arts, video game scene, brand licensing, casinos and various other endeavors. Bodog has been a part of various aspects of the entertainment world in one form or another throughout its life.

The two veteran poker professionals, David Williams and Evelyn Ng have been a part of representing the Bodog brand stalwartly throughout all the vicissitudes and innovations that have come to pass over its lifetime. The company is licensed by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group which also owns its main product and the company is presently turning their focus on building player confidence, giving players an enjoyable experience and on software that meets the highest expectations.

The software has an expansive gaming platform and is given a somewhat mystic appeal due to its grey and black borders. The application downloads in a flash with no snags. A player can play four tables at a time and the multi-table man or woman will really get into this. There is a cool feature in the preference tab in the upper right corner that lets a player leap to the sports book with great alacrity and the resources can be leafed through rapidly and easily as well.

The quick seating feature allows you to design your own view of the software. Another feature found just about nowhere else is the horse racing book which can be reached via the preference button. There is a very attractive component of the software in that table settings and game details are intuitive and easily tabbed through to conduct a site search. Whatever you want to do to customize the look of the software, from changing the felt color to editing the avatars, you can do this in both cash games and tournament play.

There is no player or count meter or view of the player pool, but on the poker homepage you will see a player count and expect it to reflect around six to ten thousand players. There are all the forms of holdem poker on Bodog Poker as well as Omaha, Omaha hi-lo, five card stud, seven card stud and seven card stud hi-lo. The site has a somewhat unusual starting blind format with low limits of $.02/.05 and upper limits of $30/60.

Add tournaments into the mix and you have a total gamete of card playing activities. Tournaments start in the Fleers double bubble gum range of a quarter with prize pool guarantees of up to 200,000.00 big ones and buy ins up to $200.00. With all the action on the site, bonuses are ripe for the taking.

Bodog Poker offers Royal Flush and bad beat bonuses to all comers and whether the player is lucky or unlucky they will have a blast anticipating a windfall. You can also turn your poker points into real money, just one more attraction that proves the site values its customers. And don't forget the promotions of double points, all of this is sure to pay off for the loyal and diligent player. There are loads of freerolls every day, point buy in tournaments and sweet tournament prize overlays to keep old clients loyal and new clients joining in.

Bodog Poker has contact with over fifteen countries by international telephone numbers making this a global enterprise. It is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission which brings veracity and accountability to the tables. Bodog Poker has obtained distinctive brands in Europe and Asia and partners with such industry honchos as Haydock Sports, so players' needs are never neglected. The support consists of both form and email where queries can be made and promptly and accurately responded to. Website security and player privacy is operated by Axolotl Online Inc., and licensing associate Patrik Selin, so players can be convinced that Bodog Poker is serious about its high level of support, resources and security.

The CEO is currently Alwyn Morris who is none other than an Olympic Gold medalist, Order of Canada recipient, noted Canadian sportsman, First Nations leader and former Associate Director for the Mohawk Council of Chiefs in Kahnawake. What a guy! It is apparent that Bodog Poker is in very capable hands to ensure its continued success. Bodog Poker is based in Antigua in the Caribbean, a paradise in itself and the players will find their own paradise on the website. Bodog Poker has been around and gaining in experience and expertise for 15 years which makes it motto "It's better in our book" a true statement. Log onto paradise and have yourself an enjoyable experience.
