    how bad has bodog become
    Play omaha hi/lo all the time not tons of people play it but on bodg u use to find maybe 100 or 150 people playing on a sat afternoon how many people are on today 8 WOW Bodog looks like the poker is going down hill...I say 1 year from now bodog poker is just gone completely. They are really only a sportsbook company who has a poker room.

      they use to be good. but they are getting smaller everyday they basiclly are just a sportsbook site now. they should just merge with a real poker room and let them do the poker and have bodog be the sportsbook theres nothing at bodog anymore no cumstomer bonuses nothing. next thing you know they wil be charging you just to have money on their site.

          Maybe due to Father's Day or the WSOP running. If it's consistent where you find significantly low amount of players to find, then indeed Bodog has lost interest on building members toward their Poker Room.

            today is a low traffic day per say
            at the 1040 300 dollars freroll there where only 340 entrants when usually are 800 on an average
            maybe because is summer and because the site is famous for the bad beats and that is why is loosing players.

                It sucks- it was so awesome back in '07ish when they had daily 60-70k guaranteed tourneys and a ton of other great stuff on there schedule.

                  no the poker site is losing more and more people everyday. Taking away all of the incentives to play here sure doesnt help a site that was having problems getting players anyways..When you take away all of your bonuses then your gonna chase people away who thinks of this stuff..if your gonna take certain bonuses away make sure u have new 1s immediately to offset this....but no they said the new bonuses will be up in about 4 months hahahaha 4 months your gonna have like 10 left players on this site

                    I think when you take away all of your bonuses I think that pretty much tells you the direction the poker room is going in. If you not doing anything to try to keep the people you already have then there is a problem somewhere.

                      1 year from now bodog poker will be booming...not only are there a lot of plans for bodog poker itself, but Bodog Network will be launching in late '10 and will be accepting non-bodog branded poker sites into the network. Patrik Selin heads up Bodog Network and has just been announced as the CEO of Bodog Europe....trust me when I say his background is extremely impressive.

                              Well it won't be booming if it keeps in the direction it's been going. I started playing poker there about a year ago and the traffic has significantly dropped in both sng's and in cash games... GL bodog i'll play there still because players are pretty bad. Used to be mad that they didn't allow more than 4 tables at a time, but now I see that's irrelevant because a lot of times there are not enough open tables to have more than 4 up anyway.

                                Is it significant that there is a "Bodog Europe" vs a "US Bodog"? How's that work?

                                        Bodog should implement a better VIP program to attract members. Like having BoDog exclusive attire or an actual Bodog FPP store.

                                          They never really recovered from their payout problems two years ago. Ironically it was those payout problems that led me to SBR. It took me a little while to be able to trust them again, but it looks like things are back on track. I haven't had a payout problem since then. It does sound as though they are putting all their eggs in this bodog network and ignoring the current poker room a little bit.

                                                My gosh, Becky, you are the biggest shill I've ever seen in my life. No information just pom poms, smoke and mirrors. I guess there might be a couple of dumb people who believe your shtick. If Bodog cared and planned on building, they wouldn't be treating their customers so ridiculously poorly.

                                                    There are always overlays. Unless you like to free roll all the time, what isn't to like about that? Plus the sngs are 10 players which increases the equity for good players considering most of the sng players there are shot takers and dont understand the dynamic of sngs

                                                      but why would u wear bodog attire and let people know u play at the worst poker site in the internet.becky was saying withtin a year they will be one of the best.ha well thats if there are anyone left to play.seems they think if becky comes out and tries to sound professional.the players will believe her.well she should be a politician cause she blowing smoke up our ass.she better be careful cause the way bodog is going,she might not have a job if the players donr play.but becky do us a favor,and quit blowing smoke up our ass and be honest.you must be related to bodog some how

                                                        Yes, it is significant because they are two different companies. Calvin Ayre sold the Bodog.com operations to Alwyn Morris of MMGG in '06 right around the same time as the other publicly traded companies exited the US market due to the passing of the UIGEA. Since then, Calvin licenses out the Bodog brand name through the brand licensing company BodogBrand.com, the same company which I work for. At present there are four gaming related bodog brand licensees:

                                                        1)MMGG which owns and operates the US facing bodog.com.
                                                        2)Bodog Europe which owns and operates the European facing bodog.co.uk and the Canadian facing bodog.ca.
                                                        3)Haydock Entertainment which owns and operates the Asian facing bodog88.com
                                                        4)Bodog Network, a stand alone poker network which will launch later this year and will accept non-bodog branded poker sites in addition to the bodog branded ones.

                                                        Let me know if you have any questions,
                                                        Becky
