Just wondering. Just deposited and I have been playing mostly $3 turbo STTs. I'm up $20 with a pretty small sample size.

Players seem soft and the software seems fine.

I don't have the patience to grind (yet) but I do play pretty regularly at bodog. Their STT selection infuriates me...you have to pay $5.50 just to play a vanilla non-turbo sit-n-go and even then there are 10 players.

I play the .02/.05 cash games, and MTTs with BI of 4.40 or less.

I was a grinder on Bodog's micro stakes cash tables. Now play mostly when they give me a bonus :D cause RB is ridiculous and software is bad for multitabling. It takes to not play on site month or more though.

would like to hear how you make out at Bodog. I had DLed the client and created an account but never played there. I then read some real bad reviews about them here: http://www.pokerscout.com/

and subsequently uninstalled everything, thinking I may try some of their freerolls if they have them though just to test the waters.

whats your experience been like there?

I've been with bodog for many years and always liked it . definitely lacking in some areas but overall a good site . haven't had to deposit in many years but just play the $3 turbos mostly and a small amount of everything else . mtt's some cheap ones unless I win the cc game on mondays for a ticket to the 100k ($160) :) played it twice but no cash .

Grinding for 150 player points so I can be invited to a $2500 freeroll. I have withdrawn from Bodog in the past with no problems. If you are going to play freerolls here, you have better played some money games, because the 2 freerolls a day require player points to enter.

thanks, I haven't really checked into them. Im not interested in depositing on more than the one site I play at, and am interested in finding some freerolls to try to build up from scratch. One deposit and thats it, all else has to be evolutionary ( something from nothing).

No more freerolls on Bodogs now. All "freerols" require points so you have to play cash or sng's. In the past there were 500$ freroll.
Depositing and withdrawing was always OK for me, at least CS quickly helped in some issues.
On pokerscout I like this comment
A friend of mine used to work at Bodog offices in Vancouver. my friend told me they were drinking with some executives a few years back and they were laughing over an inside joke saying that anytime the company needed a bit more cash flow they would tweak the casino metrics to have a higher win ratio for Bodog. He said they can do this because they have their own proprietary software that was purchased fromn RTG. the casinos that are licensed from software providers who are third party can't adjust the metrics as they have no control over the operations. now that Bodog is dropped down so far in market share they might be rigging the casino to keep the doors open
I also got terrible downswing on Bodog. But never mind, all online poker is rigged from my experience :cool:

I can assure you that there is no way that this story is true. All bodog brand licensees have auditing from three separate, independent companies for their own proprietary games and another testing lab for their third-party games.

Proprietary games -> TST, Gaming Associates, eCOGRA
Third-party Games -> iTech Labs

Please check the bodog website on which you are playing for more information on the certification of the software.

Thanks!

You tell'em Becky! As far as deposting/cashing goes, that is why I stay on Bodog. Very quick and painless procedure, you aren't taken to any third-party websites and you don't have to send in any proof of residence bull****

My deposits take about 30 seconds, and my withdrawals arrive in about 5-7 business days.
