Bodog Poker Review

** Important Notice: Bodog pulled out of the US market at the end of 2011 and opened Bovada Poker for their US traffic. The Bodog network now shares 3 players from 3 of their brands – Bovada (US market), Bodog.ca (Canadian market) and Bodog88 (Asian market). Players in other parts of the world such as Europe and Australia cannot play on Bodog.

So what does this all mean? Well given the fact that each of Bodog’s poker sites are linked to popular sports-books and casinos – it means there is always a good supply of ‘gamblers’ at the tables with little or no poker knowledge. The selection of Omaha tables at this premier site is fair, with the higher-stakes tables available at peak times of US evenings and weekends. Add to this the fact that tables are anonymous and multi-tabling is restricted to 4 tables per player, it’s safe to say that they are currently the fishiest poker network, both for Omaha and Holdem.

They are also one of the easiest sites for depositing and withdrawing your poker cash with Visa card and money transfers being the preferred methods for US players.

Bovada Bonuses And Promotions

The initial sign-up bonus at Bodog Poker is advertised as 100% to $1000 on your first deposit. While this is certainly true, in reality you are restricted by the amount you wish to deposit in one go. The great thing about this bonus is that it is the fastest to clear bonus available anywhere – the equivalent of 100% rebate on your tournament fees and super-fast at the cash tables too.

Points collected during play can be exchanged for freeroll and satellite entries at Bodog. Satellites give away some premium prizes, such as the ability to ‘pick your tournament’ from the EPT / WPT or WSOP schedules!

Omaha Cash Game Selection

The usual 4 Omaha poker games of Pot-limit / Fixed-limit + High-Only and Hi-Lo are available at Bodog. Unusually, instead of listing the tables by blind levels, the pot-limit games are marked by the ‘maximum buy-in’. These range from just $10 through to a huge $2000.

While there are 6-player tables available the full-ring (9-handed) tables seem slightly more popular at Bodog, in contrast to some of the other sites where the 6-handed tables are the most popular.

Omaha Tournaments + Sit N Go Selection

Very quick to write about Omaha Tournaments at Bodog – there are none! Oh well, just as well the cash tables are full of fish then!

Sit N Go Omaha tournaments are available in 1-table format, with buy-ins ranging from $5 up to $50 (+ the standard 10% fee). SNGs are available in Pot-Limit form for both high only and high-low, heads-up PLO SNGs are also readily available at Bodog.

Final Thoughts

This site has three main things of interest to Omaha players: Loose cash game tables, loose cash game tables and loose cash game tables!! Not forgetting those who enjoy Omaha Sit and Goes of course. This is a growing US-friendly poker site who go out of their way to make it easy for you to deposit and withdraw, and so make an excellent choice for players looking for (you guessed it) loose Omaha cash tables!!
