Bodog Poker Site Review

Bodog Poker is a stand-alone site that offers a BonusWhores exclusive sign-up bonus of 110% up to $1500. The first 10% of the 110% is awarded instantly (which would be $500 on a $5000 deposit) and then a second bonus up to $5000 is earned based on the amount you play and the initial deposit amount. Make sure to enter BWBodog in the ‘How did you hear about us?’ box when setting up your Bodog account.

As for the initial bonus, the maximum bonus depends on the deposit method (for example if the maximum deposit is $5,000, you would receive a $500 bonus). You need to accumulate 3 bonus points for each $1 in bonus money to withdraw the bonus. Bonus points are accumulated by contributing money to the pot when it is raked. Players will receive 1 point for a pot that is raked more than $1, 0.50 of a point when the pot is raked at or above $0.50 but less than $1, and 1/4 a point when the pot is raked between $0.25 and $0.45.

The bonus is added to your available balance and can be played with immediately. In order to keep track of the Bodog bonus, note how many points you had before you started playing towards the bonus. For example, a $200 bonus would require 600 points for withdrawal, so you would have it cleared after earning 600 points from where you started. You can also email support to see where you stand.

As for the second bonus, the amount you are awarded is based on your first 30 days of play after your first deposit. The bonus is given at a rate of $1 per 10 Bonus Points that you earn within the 30 day period up to your deposit amount (at a maximum of $1000). For example, if you deposited $600 and earned 5500 points in the thirty days after your first deposit, you would receive another $500 in bonus. A player that deposited $300 and earned 900 Bonus Points would receive a $90 bonus (900/10).

After being credited, the bonus would then require an additional 3 Bonus Points per $1 for withdrawal. Allow 48 hours after your 30th day of play to receive your bonus. If your 30th day lands on a Friday, your extra bonus won’t be issued until Monday.

Bodog is also offering 100% up to $500 monthly reload bonuses that clear at a 10 Bonus Point per $1 rate. Bonus expires and is issued 30 days after the deposit date. According to cs, there is no play through requirement after the bonus is issued.

Account specific reload bonuses and general reloads are occasionally given to players. In addition, players can redeem up to 25000 Bonus Points per month ($250) as part of the "Points to Cash" promotion in which players can redeem 100 Bonus Points per $1. The minimum amount that can be redeemed is 500 points. Players may not find this promotion to be too enticing, as the hourly rates are very low but it great to use to supplement a bonus.

For Tournament Players: Bodog has one of the best bonus redemption programs for tournament players. They give players 3 points for each $1 in fees paid. Because 3 points are valued at a $1, this gives players a 100% rebate when clearing a bonus. For example, when playing a 10+1 tournament, you will clear $1 of the bonus.

The players on the 888.com network are some of the poorest on the net (and the primary reason why the site appears so high in the guide for low limit players), so it could be beneficial to play there with the quality of play alone.

Frequent players can also receive the equivalent of a 2%-36% loyalty rate depending on their status at Pacific Poker that is earned in addition to bonuses. The Rewards program centers around base Rewards Points which are earned at the same rate as Bonus Points, 2 for every $1 in contributed rake.

Higher status players receive more Reward Points based on a Status Points multiplier of between 2x-18x the normal rate. For instance, a player that achieves Silver Status (requires 500 Status Points, or $250 in generated rake), receives 2x the normal rate of Reward Points which effectively allows players to earn a 4% loyalty rate. Going up the status levels players can earn Gold status (1,500 points for the month, or $750 in generated rake), and receive Rewards Points 4.5x the normal rate yielding a 9% loyalty rate. This status is followed by Platinum (4,500 or $2250 in MGR, yielding 18%), VIP I (60,000 for the year- $30,000 in MGR, yielding 27%) and VIP Diamond (300,000- $150,000 in MGR, yielding 36%).

There are two types of bottomless bonuses that can be taken advantage of-- "cash" bonuses and "Buy a Bonus". The first type of bonus is a cash bonus, which is awarded immediately after points are exchanged. Players must earn (exchange) between 6.67-40 Party Points for each $1 of bonus to receive an immediate "cash" bonus. The availability depends on VIP status level and clearance rate depends on the number of Party Points that are being exchanged. For example, players can either exchange 400 PP for $10 (40x), 1500 for $50 (30x), 4000 for $200 (20x), 10000 for $600 (16.67x), 20000 for $1500 (13.33x) or 150,000 for $15,000 (6.67x).

As an alternative, players may purchase a "Buy a Bonus" that will require additional Player Points in order to cash out. For example, Silver status players can use 1500 points to purchase a $100 bonus, but then will need to earn an additional 375 Points to cash out their bonus. Since 1875 Party Points are needed to buy and clear the bonus, this translates to a 18.75x effective clear rate. Bonuses range from $100-$20,000 for the various status levels and have effective clearance rates that range from 6.25 to 40 Party Points per $1 of bonus money. For information on specific bonuses, check out the Party Poker bonuses page. It is more beneficial to purchase a "Buy a Bonus" rather than "Cash." The Buy a Bonus will release in 10% increments and expire after 180 days.

Littlewoods Poker Site Review

Littlewoods Poker is a site on the 888.com network. They offer a 100% up to £200 sign-up bonus. The first 25% of the bonus is given instantly with the remaining portion given after the wager requirements have been met. This bonus is cleared based on the amount that you contribute to the pot, thus it is difficult to clear quickly at the low limits, however very easy at the high limits. Bonus expires after 30 days.

Players must wager the bonus 50x (or 32x when converted to $s) for the first 25% in order to withdraw the bonus (the part that was given instantly) and then 15 Bonus Points per £1 (which is a 9.59x equivalent when converted to $s) for the remaining 75% of the bonus which will be credited after the requirements have been met. Two Bonus Points are earned for each $1 in contributed rake. This means the 2nd portion of the sign-up bonus is the equivalent to about 20% loyalty rate when the exchange rate is £1=$1.58.

Frequent players can also receive the equivalent of a 2%-36% loyalty rate depending on their status at Pacific Poker that is earned in addition to bonuses. The Rewards program centers around base Rewards Points which are earned at the same rate as Bonus Points, 2 for every $1 in contributed rake.

Higher status players receive more Reward Points based on a Status Points multiplier of between 2x-18x the normal rate. For instance, a player that achieves Silver Status (requires 500 Status Points, or $250 in generated rake), receives 2x the normal rate of Reward Points which effectively allows players to earn a 4% loyalty rate. Going up the status levels players can earn Gold status (1,500 points for the month, or $750 in generated rake), and receive Rewards Points 4.5x the normal rate yielding a 9% loyalty rate. This status is followed by Platinum (4,500 or $2250 in MGR, yielding 18%), VIP I (60,000 for the year- $30,000 in MGR, yielding 27%) and VIP Diamond (300,000- $150,000 in MGR, yielding 36%). Rewards Points can be exchanged at any time at a rate of $10 for every 1000 Points.

Players may have accounts at multiple sites on the 888.com Network.
