How can we improve Bodog???

I am looking for feedback on the new beta version of bodog, likes and dislikes. I also am looking for suggestions on how they can make the site better. Please any suggestions or feedback will be very helpful and I will review all responses and pass it on to them.

lol well you cant make the site much better...i do have a few suggestions tho, a big one is being able to play more than 3 tables at once. and STOP BOUNCING CHECKS!! hahah jk about that one, but overall i like the software it just makes it hard for me to play there often simply because the 3 table limit.

Yeah more tables is the key for me.

I believe they are already in the process of fixing the 3 table limit if they have not done so already. There may still be a beta version on Bodogs website that will allow you to do more that 3. I'm not sure yet tho I will get back to you on that.

speed up play

After a player uses all his time deciding what to do (after the red scroll finishes), in the dialog box suggest how he might speed up play by using one of the buttons before it's time for him to act. And that this would speed up play and be courteous to the other players. This would make you unique among poker sites.

Sloans do you mean force him to make a decision with less time than they normally give you if he continously takes all the time he can?

Allow players to have more than 3 tables open is huge. It is a silly rule when online players are highly regarded for playing multiple tables. Why does bodog restrict it to 3 is riDONKulous. Every site allows you to play in more.

Joe they are fixing that and soon enough it won't be an issue. Also, I'm looking for suggestions for game limits, points tournys, stuff like that. One of mine is more multi table tournys with 6 per table.

That would work. I was also suggesting that you the encourage the use the action buttons before it's your turn to act "check/fold" etc., with an occasional announcement.

i really do hope they fix that table limit, i love the software...oh and sloan just meant that in the dialogue box bodog should let players know about there quick decison check boxes like the check/fold box ya know...he didnt mean cut the time, but hes just giving a way to make things go a little bit faster

I like the new resizable tables, that's a plus for me. The one thing I would like to see Bodog do is institute player-to-player transfers. A nice, hassle free system, like poker stars.

Oh, and let the Canadians play.

I'm just curious, what is your function at or relationship w/ Bodog? They have an opinion panel (of which I am a part) that they use for feedback, surveys, etc. already. . . .

I played there today and they have updated the site. They got rid of that HUGE chat bar and made the tables totally resizable so it works on lower resolution screens. Those were my main complaints.

It could be a little faster on slower pc's, But the improvements will cause me to play there more.

I am also on the same panel but I am looking for more in depth changes that they can make. I contact them directly and I am working more closely with them than just the surveys and feedback that the Panel provide.

Hey spc, enjoyed playing at the table with you tody (52cardsnow). I mentioned there and I'll mention again that the light blue chat letters are waaaay to light. I cannot sit close to my comp. and it makes it very hard for me to read chat.. Moving th chat next to the bet bars was a really good move also.

One thing that's always bothered me about bodog is that when u place in the money in a freeroll, the "money" is not added to your cash balance. In my humble opinion, if a person is a depositing member of Bodog, all freeroll winnings should be avail in your account for use as u see fit, i.e, cash games.

I read above^^^^somewhere that they might start some points games, I really like that idea also. I build a pretty good bankroll over on UB that way. Lot of players playing the point games there also. Seems like it would be a pretty good move on Bodogs part. They pay a lot more ofr their points than UB.

Not sure why your having that problem. My freeroll winnings have always been available for any type of games. Might want to ask Bodog about that one.

Yes, that was my personal suggestion to them. I hope they do that as well.

Show whether a player is there or sitting out.

Make the application take less resources on the computer.

It depends on what kind of freeroll you are playing (or any tourney, for that matter); if any payouts are in "T$" (=tournament dollars), it means that you'll only be able to use those winnings to play in more tournaments. If this is the case, there's usually a notice popping up when you register, just to remind you, and the payouts are marked with "T$" in the lobby. Any other payouts -- freeroll or other -- go right into your eCash balance and can be used for anything you want.

By the way, one of the few things that are unique & that I like very much about Bodog is the fact that whenever you win a T$ event, you have the option to use those winnings for any tourney you want, rather than getting an actual ticket. (For example, if you win the "ticket" to the Sunday $100K Guarantee in a CC event, you simply get T$109 in your account to use for the $100K or ANY other Bodog tourney(s), whereas at most other sites you'd HAVE to play the $100K.)

I'm not quite into Bodog. I prefer FT and pokerstars over Bodog. As said before, the 3 table limit really sucks. I like to play at a lot of tables at once, and that's simply not available on there. I very rarely play on Bodog, so I don't know if any changes will even lure me into starting up on there. I've just become too used to FT, Pokerstars, and UB.
