Bodog Poker Popularity

Bodog is a medium-sized poker room with traffic averaging 8,000 active players at peak hours. Even though the smaller stakes Texas Hold ‘em tables are the most popular, there is always at least one full $20/$40 table and one table at the maximum stakes. And if you are an Omaha or Stud player, you won’t have a problem finding a variety of active tables to join any time of the day or night.

Since the 2006 WSOP and all of the publicity Bodog received, players flock to play in their special satellite qualifiers hoping to win a seat in not only a WSOP main event, but maybe win seats in a WSOP Europe event or in the Bodog Poker Open. Another big draw for Bodog Poker is their Sportsbook and Casino, so players, even those in the US, can easily wander from the Casino to the Poker Room.
