"Poker Bonus Rules:
If you wish to use your bonus to play in the Poker Room, you must earn 3 Bodog Poker Points for every bonus dollar issued before being eligible for a withdrawal i.e. if you earn a $100 bonus, you must earn 300 Bodog Poker Points before placing a withdrawal. Bodog Poker Points are rewarded based on your amount of play in the poker room and the level of stakes at which you play. For more information about how to earn Bodog Poker Points, visit the Poker section and click on "Bodog Poker Points".

The signup bonus is the first of many Bonuses that you'll be entitled to receive at Bodog.

The more you play, the more we pay!"

"Dear ******,

Thank you for contacting Poker Customer Service and for choosing to
joining the Bodog Poker Team! To answer your question, Bodog Poker
Points are a way of rewarding our players for choosing to play at Bodog
Poker. Poker Points may be used to buy in to our special Poker Points
tournaments into which Bodog adds a generous prize pool.

Every new player at Bodog automatically receives 50 Poker Points when
opening their account. Additionally, you can also earn points in the
following ways:

1. Ring Games - You can accumulate Bodog Poker Points by playing in ring
games when you have contributed to a pot that is raked. Points are
awarded based on the following table:

Rake Points
$1.00 - $3.00 1.00
$0.50 - $0.95 0.50
$0.25 - $0.45 0.25
$0.05 - $0.20 0.10

Point accumulation occurs at the end of every hand.

2. Tournaments - You can accumulate Bodog Poker Points for every $1.00
in fees paid for each tournament you enter. Three Points are awarded
for every $1.00 in fees paid; therefore, a player would get 15 Bodog
Poker Points for entering a tournament with an entry of $50+$5 (buy in +
fee).

3. Time spent playing - You will accumulate Bodog Poker Points for every
minute spent playing at a table. One point is awarded for every 60
minutes of play. All time spent 'playing' (sitting out is not 'playing
time') in play money games, real money games, and during tournaments
counts towards points earned. Players may not earn more than 500 points
for playing time per calendar month.

Each month we offer a number of Poker Point tournaments that pay out in
a real cash prize pool. To find the Poker Point tournaments, please open
the poker lobby, click on the "Multi Table Tournament" button, select
the gray "Daily" tab, and click on the "Freeroll & PTS" filter button
underneath.

To view how many Poker Points you have accumulated, please click on
"Account and Preferences" in the poker lobby, select the "My Account"
tab, and then click on "Bodog Poker Points History". A running total of
your Poker Points will also be visible in the upper portion of the poker
room lobby after you have logged into the poker software.

Thank you once again for choosing Bodog Poker, and if you require any
further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us!

They've always had the "unlimited" 10% bonus. The reason I say "unlimited" is because there have been several people who have been cut off from future bonuses at Bodog.

Just be aware that they will not allow you to clear a bonus and redeposit to clear another one over and over again. If they see a pattern and don't get what they determine to be sufficient cover play, they will cut you off.

[MicroBob]

Don't they make you clear the whole bonus before they allow you to cash-out as well?

This is different than other poker-sites and one should be careful with this bonus if one doesn't want funds locked-up for an extended time.

[pocketse7ens]

they will likely warn you before you would be in any danger of losing your bonus privileges.

Same difference, lol. "Do that again and you won't get a bonus" = Make deposit when you want and get no bonus.

Yes, but it kind of makes sense, since it's an upfront bonus.

So what do they mean, like if you clear a 100 bonus, withdraw most all your $ and then redeposit it for another bonus quickly/?

[headturner1]

so, you get time bonuses when playing for "play money?"

that is donktastic.

Yeah but at the rate 0f 1 point an hour it's gonna take some time to clear!
Sh!t we'll have probably evolved into a new species by then.

[metsandfinsfan]

so i just cleared a 50 buck bonus and withdrew .... how long should i wait before redepositing??? And the only thing they could do is say no more bonus right??? So no risk really ... 100% rb on sit and goes until they cut me off

[scorer]

Wait about one week before re depositing or they will flag you. Ive spoken to them and they have told me 1 week should not be a problem, but if they flag you dont blame me as they are not the best with there bonuses.

[scorer]

FYI, if you re deposit 1000 and then you get a 100 dollar bonus. If you lose 100 and decide to try and withdraw your original 1000, they will subtract the 100 from your 1000 and you will cash out 900. You have to clear the bonus amount first before withdrawing. Question is, with this 10 percent bonus is it as good as rakeback or there equivalent of rakeback.

So it is not OK to continually work off bonus money playing there? like deposit 1k, work off the 100 bonus, withdraw 700 and then deposit 1k when withdrawl clears...then clear the 100 bonus, wihtdraw 1k, deposit 1k....????

I can understand they will not let you ramp up bonus money since they let you play with it but why can't you just withdraw and reload after clearing the outstanding bonus?

You get 100% rakeback on tournies and sit and go so yes it is better than rakeback or as good as wpx rakeback
