It looks similar to Doylesroom's action points, except that Bodog gives all players who play in the hand a fixed number of points and Doylesroom splits the total points of the hands between all players in the hand.
Is that right?

assuming you mean that "play in the hand" means contributing to the pot via bets, blinds or antes, that's pretty much correct.

the difference between bodog and Doyle's (Tribeca network) is that Bodog gives the same amount of points based on the total rake of the hand, and Tribeca gives a proportional amount of points based on how much contribution each player made into the final pot.

in other words, if you fold the small blind on bodog, you would get the same number of points in that hand as someone who went all the way to showdown. but on Doyle's, you would receive only a tiny number of points while the showdown player gets as much as 50% of the action points allocated in that hand.

if you fold preflop and you are not a blind or ante, you would not receive any points regardless of the pot size and the end of the hand on either network.
