Interface
Bodog's interface is one of my favorites out of any poker site. The lobby screen is very well done and it is very easy to navigate throughout the lobby to locate the game of choice. Tournament and ring games are easy to get to through the tab filters.
The table screen has been updated recently and I am actually very fond of the changes. A spotlight "shines" on the player that is acting and displays in a box that pops up with the action the player performed. The table screen is sleek and sharp; I actually prefer this table screen over most poker sites.
Game Variety
For Bodog being such a huge poker site, I was not overly impressed with Bodog's game selection. The tournament selection was decent but for such a huge poker site I would like to think that the pay outs for tournaments would be better relative to the buy-in. However, the payouts for sit-n-gos are very good and they have a better sit-n-go selection than tournaments.
Ring games are set up in a manner that I haven't seen on other poker sites, they set it up by the max you're allowed to bring to the table instead of the typical $xx/$xx format. There still is a decent amount of ring games with good competition.
Ease of Deposit/Withdrawal
Depositing funds into your account is as simple and fast as it gets. I have never had any problem depositing funds into my personal account. Bodog offers the traditional depositing methods that most poker sites offered such as: credit cards, neteller, epassport, etc...
Withdrawing is a huge pain and Bodog requested too much information and work on my behalf for them to process my withdrawal request. Taking money out is nothing short of a huge pain in my experience with Bodog.
Security/Stability
Bodog is a huge poker site and I haven't seen too many poker sites with such strong identification verification and protection. The site is run by a major company, Bodog Entertainment Group and has strong financial backing. I feel very safe while playing on Bodog and do not feel any level of malicious activity while playing.
Players
Bodog's players are pretty average with the typical online players you'll find on any site. They are typically loose and aggressive as most online players and these sorts of players will be found at all levels however, you will also find tighter players in the higher stakes ring games. Bodog is a very profitable site and you should have no problem banking off of the huge amount of fish
Bad Beats
Bad beats are the name of the game at Bodog. The beats on Bodog are absolutely terrible and I have witnessed, dealt and received dozens of bad beats while playing on Bodog. This is the major shortcoming of a site that if it had a stronger, more realistic RNG would become the top site on the net. The RNG is not necessarily illegal or illegitimate but I believe that it has quite a few flaws and have not seen more ridiculous boards and hand combos on any other site.
Overall
Bodog is a very good poker site with one of the best interfaces on the market and a decent amount of games to play. This is a great starter site, this is where I started but over time the shortcomings of the RNG got to me and I moved on to another site. I personally wouldn't recommend Bodog but its not a bad place to play if you have personal bias against more preferable sites like Full Tilt or PokerStars.
