What I've learned about bodog is that there are a lot of gamblers that that have money with bodog and feel like having some fun at the poker tables. Which is great for the actual poker players. Even in the large buy-ins you'll find a lot of people who don't really know what they're doing. So I think this is a great advantage for us grinders, but you just have to prepare yourself to take a lot of bad beats. | ||||||||

Bodog problems
Costa Rican based online poker and sports betting operation in crisis over domain name There’s trouble at Bodog mill, with the news that users are unable to access the site for online poker and sports betting. The domain name Bodog.com isn’t working in poker players’ browsers and punters are being redirected by Bodog customer services to newBodog.com. It seems there is a legal issue over the domain name, which could spell big trouble for the maverick gaming company. On the new site head honcho Calvin Ayre has posted the following message, along with an apology: “As you may know by now, Bodog.com is experiencing a technical issue impacting our players' ability to access our website. This is the result of a legal dispute over the ownership of the Bodog.com domain name. We are fighting this dispute. We are confident that we will win, but until all is settled, I do not want our battle to interrupt your play.” “We are working to resolve any remaining issues on the temporary site as soon as possible, and fully expect to have our original site back up shortly.” Piece taken from : www.pokerplayermagazine.co.uk ...........................................................................................................................

Re: hi
Overall, we've done fair to middling and whilst Bodog would like to offer us more extras, we also need to improve our sign-up and deposits a bit. I can confirm though that we will have games there in June, most likely continuing with Friday nights in some format. I'll probably have that sorted out in the next week or so. 
|
||||||||
| addam00 |
hiI know i am not able to play on the weekends but I bet if you canget a weekend game going on there.. you might get more sign ups... |
||||||||
| DangerMouse |
Re: hi
I`d love to play but as I said elsewhere I can`t get the client to take the pw. What about an allowed list for the buy-ins? That way I think I`ll be able to get in. |
||||||||
| harry_lime |
Re: hi
Not sure if they do this but of course i can ask. Am i correct in thinking you can log into the client and play but the problem is when you attempt to input the password for our particular games ? |
||||||||
| DangerMouse |
Re: hi
For any pass-worded game but yes that`s exactly the problem. |
||||||||
| harry_lime |
Re: hi
Ok DM, i'll have a chat with our rep today. |
||||||||
| harry_lime |
Re: hi
Update Our rep is looking into this and will get back to me later with his thoughts. I'll post here again tomorrow with the news !
|
||||||||
| DangerMouse |
Ok thanks Harry, much appreciated 
|
||||||||
| harry_lime |
sorry i'm a little late with this, i've litterally just walked in the door (lame excuse i know  ).
- The "allowed list" idea won't be possible unfortunately. - I'm sure you do this, but are you logged in to the client before you try to enter our game. If not, this would be a problem of course. I'm sure you are but it was just a thought. - The most useful sounding solution was that our rep said was that if you contact their "customer service" explaining the situation and telling them what the password is and the game ID, they should be able to register you for the game manually. I would suggest you give this a go today and see if that works out for you. |
||||||||
| DangerMouse |
lol wish they`d make up their minds. Thank you for contacting Bodog Poker Customer Service. If you are trying to register for a privet tournament we ask that you use you account number and not your Screen name or your email address. You must also have been invited and is position of the password to be able to register and play. Please note that we are unable to register for players, this has to be done by the player from his account. Please try again using your account number and the password from the Affiliate if one was provided to you. |

Bodog Poker Upgrade - Resizing and more !
Go to the Bodog Poker Homepage and look for the Bodog Poker Resizing Upgrade, which is pretty central on the page. I tried it out this morning and think it's a big improvement on the old version as you can now see the cards in any size you want by making the table bigger. The detachable windows showing chat, tourney positions, etc means you can set everything up exactly how you want.
Here's the jargon from Bodog : Does Size Matter? Download and try the new Bodog Poker Upgrade where you now have the ability to resize your tables. A Custom Job Shrink it down or blow it up. Customize your game size to meet your personal playing style while tapping into our newly designed on demand player tools. Don’t let anyone cramp your style. It’s your game, your way. At Bodog Poker. Feature Highlights Here’s what you get with our latest version, give it a go and let us know what you think. - Full Screen Mode - Resizable game play windows - Embedded chat and game details - On demand player tools (like ‘em? hate ‘em? do what you want with them, it’s all up to you) - Chat - Game Details - Stats - Notes - Profiles - Tournament Details You can currently run both this and the old version simultaneously. Run both versions simultaneously Don't worry about the upgrade screwing around with your current version, as it will run along side without any problems. Minimum System Requirements The recommended minimum system requirements needed to use the Bodog Poker software to play poker are: * Windows 2000/XP * 200MHz processor or faster * 64MB of RAM * 800 x 600 pixel screen resolution * 16-bit (High Color) * Sound card (if you desire audio) * 20MB or greater free disk space. Most computers purchased within the past five years will meet the above requirements. A Couple of Pointers - the colour scheme of your table can still be modified as before - you can resize by pulling from the bottom right of the table - the detachable extras (larger chat, etc) can be found using the "Poker Tools" tab which is to the top right

Nah seriously - the table look sucked big time - maybe I will have a close look soon and think about a comeback

| Miklosik |
So I'm lucky enough to find myself with a bunch more money than I am comfortable having on any site. I request a payout. Seems they do not pay out to the e-wallet that they take deposits from and must send me a check. Ok, fine. It's gonna take 40 DAYS TO PROCESS! WTH. I could walk there and pick it up quicker than that. | ||||||||

New Cash Out Fees For US Players
Well you all know, i've been a big supporter of Bodog but i have no doubt the this move is likely to have a major detrimental effect on US players there. I know there is some reasoning behind this decision as the US govenment has been putting the squeeze on Bodog but this does seem a bit steep : "Bad news for US poker players who play at Bodog. Citing, "loss of withdraw and deposit options" for US players they have increased their fees for Money Transfers. This is, without a doubt the largest amount of fees I have seen in the industry. No longer can you get 1 free withdraw per month and instead they charge $40 for a $100-$200 withdraw, $50 for a $200-$500 withdraw, $80 for a $500-1000 withdraw, and $150 for anything above that." - taken from CompatiblePoker.com If any of our US players read this, what do you guys think, will you keep playing there ? Or perhaps most of you are using the check option which had delays of 40 days or so at the moment ? |
||||||||
| Miklosik |
till using the check option. Still waiting for a withdrawal from 27.7.08. Numerous e-mails, numerous apologies....blah, blah. I've been putting off making another withdrawal because of my concern. This news now compounds the problem. I guess I'll still play there until the money runs out. It's not like they even have a transfer option for me to get the cash to someone else who has an easier time withdrawing it. | ||||||||
| harry_lime |
Payments Update
Bodog have finally caught up with their backlog of payments and seem to have everything running back on track. This is especially good news for those expecting check payments. |
||||||||
| HOUSECATS |
I just put money on bodog to play forum games. Don't have much on bodog. Are there going to be more forum games there? | ||||||||
| harry_lime |
it's unlikely at the moment but i hope so in the future. We made about 2 sign-ups in 6 months so unfortunately we generated very little return for those games even though the numbers were good. we felt best to give it a rest for awhile (myself and bodog) and talk again at a later stage. i still really like the site and have a really good relationship with our rep there, so i will try to see if we can get some kind of sponsorship in a couple of months. |
||||||||

Thanks I will keep my account active then | ||||||||

well I like the site.. well at least they still dont let candians play in it

Bodog Launches Mac Compatible Instant Play Poker
Bodog is giving online poker players (Mac users included) the chance to play on the virtual felt anytime, anywhere, with its new Instant Play poker client. With absolutely no software to download, all a player needs to instantly access the Bodog Poker Room is a web browser and an Internet connection. 
The flash-based poker client currently allows players to play one Texas Hold'em cash game table and features many of the same innovations as the downloadable Bodog Poker client, including a resizable window, a player spotlight that highlights action as it moves around the table, player-to-player chat, game details and other customizable options. "The new Instant Play option at Bodog is perfect for when I want to play poker on my Mac or play cash games on a friend's computer who may not have the Bodog Poker client installed," says Bodog Poker Pro Evelyn Ng. "You can even snatch a few games at work." Indeed, the Instant Player version of Bodog Poker gives players total freedom to play when and where they want, whether it's getting in 20 minutes of poker during a break at work, playing a marathon session from a hotel room while on a business trip, or hitting the tables on that shiny new Mac at home. Players using Instant Play for cash game action also have access to amazing incentives. The "Points to Cash" program lets players accumulate points just for playing – win or lose – that can be cashed in for up to $500 a month. The Royal Flush Bonus awards 50 times the big blind up to $200 if a player takes dow n a pot holding the king of all poker hands and, conversely, the Bad Beat Bonus awards 100 times the big blind up to $1,000 if that seemingly dominant hand is crushed by one better.

Bodog Reclaims It's name
Press release from Bodog - harry On April 21, 2009, Morris Mohawk Gaming Group officially announced that it had reached an agreement resulting in the settlement of all pending patent litigation against a then defunct supplier company, which also resulted in the return of the world-renowned Bodog Poker domain. Starting today, Bodog Poker will once again become the center of operations for the Bodog brand's United States facing business!
"Gaining ownership of the Bodog.com domain was a moment of immense pride for me, it felt akin to taking ownership of a piece of Bodog's history,” says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. "As the exclusive licensee of the Bodog brand for online gaming in the United States, we are overjoyed to not only be a part of the return of one of the industry's most prestigious and recognizable domains, but to also be the driving force behind the brands operation in that market. Bodog.com is back and here to stay!” The official return of Bodog's U.S. facing business to the Bodog.com domain is another addition to the growing list of achievements and milestones that's making 2009 a banner year for the Bodog brand, and one of the brands best years to date. Best of all, the halfway mark of 2009 has only just passed, and there are sure to be more big announcements from the brand before the year is out! Don't miss a minute of the action, visit bodog.com. |
