Are you thinking about sports, poker or both? For sports I think it would be a good fit for you as I know you primarily bet dogs and their lines tend to lean toward the high side. I don't think you need to create an account to check the lines so have a look for yourself.

There have been a couple of fairly long threads about their poker room in the last week or two so all I'll say is the software is good and the games and game selection are what you would expect from a smaller site(which does seem to be growing).

Their rake looks pretty low compared to Party, am I right about that? I think being a sports betting site that their should be plenty of fish swimming in and out in the future. I may have to check it out.

Be forewarned that trying to clear the bonus in the poker-room is extremely tough.
You get bodog-poker points only when you contribute to the pot.

It is far and away the toughest bonus to clear of any site I have ever played at. Much longer to clear the bonus there then at absolute or even UB (no, i'm not kidding)!!!


However, if you are into betting sports at all you can clear the bonus via the sportsbook much quicker.

Otherwise, the site isn't bad. Decent games, although there are a few 2+2'ers hanging around there also.

I have also had some occasional disconnect and software issues. Not terribly frequent....maybe every couple of days something goofy happens.

For example, I just reconnected and nobody's cards were appearing on the screen.
I've also had some of my own invisible hole-cards, 8 cards on the flop (look...I've got a straight-flush!!) that only I have seen and some other weird stuff every once in awhile.

Yes the bonus is very hard to clear.

It took me about 2500 hands to earn 600 Bodog points to clear a $100 bonus. Not exactly worth it from the bonus stand point alone.

They do have regular $1-2 action (2-3 tables, avg 45-60% flop) semi regular $2-4, sporadic $3-6, regular $5-10 (2-3 tables constantly, avg 40% flop) and fairly regular $10-20 in primetime.

The software is good (I havn't had any problems like MicroBob has), the games go pretty fast, about 55 hands/hr. Multitabling works very well. Cashouts are quick.
