Bovada Poker Review
Bovada Poker is a quite unknown brand, however the fact is that Bovada is a rebrand of the well-known and popular Bodog brand, but for US Players. Besides poker, customers of Bovada are also able to bet on sports and play online casino with the same account used for playing poker online.
Although Bovada is the US facing version of the brand Bodog, the players from the US will still be able to play against players from all over the world. Even though Bovada is a quite new name on the market it has quickly grown to a trusted and appreciated brand among US Poker Players ands Sports Bettors.
Poker Competition:
Bovada also offers Sports betting and Casino under the same brand, you will find a lot of those players coming over to the poker software and playing poker. One would believe that playing a less experienced poker player would be easy competition, however it is very important that you keep your head cool and play your game of poker. Playing a less experienced player can sometimes be frustrating, hence that they divert from the more common way of playing poker, however the advice from the Poker Team is not to stress away, keep playing your game of poker and wait for the right moments to take home the pots.
Poker Software:
Bovada Poker is using the same software as Bodog. It has been around for quite a while and has not seen much of updates in terms of the design and features. Although it does not stand out to be one of the best poker software on the market, it does fill its purpose.
You are as most other poker software able to re-size the tables for multi-tabling. However, you are limited to a maximum of 3 poker tables at a time, which sets down the overall experience if you are a multi-tabling poker player.
[poka_slider_carousel]Customer Support:
One of the most important aspects of good customer support for a poker player is that you receive the help quickly and that it is helpful. Even though Bovada has a highly skilled customer support team, during the testing by the Poker Team they received good and accurate help. Bovada Poker gives at this moment only customer support thru e-mail, which delays the answers to your questions.
[upsdowns]Poker Campaigns:
Bovada are definitely trying to put their initial poker offers to one of the best ones out there for US Poker players. Their first deposit bonus, which is a $1,000 match bonus, is becoming a popular one for Us Poker players. The bonus is not credited right away, so to receive the match bonus you will need to play tournaments as well as cash games, which will release the bonus in parts directly to your poker account.
Furthermore, Bovada Poker offers monthly re-load bonus for all players and you are also able to take home their bad beat jackpot as well a Royal Flush Bonus. As many other poker sites, Bovada poker also let their poker players collect poker points, which you later can convert into real money or tournament buy-ins.
Security:
Due to their long-term experience with running Bodog as a successful brand, people operate Bovada with long experience from the online gaming industry. Bovada understands fully the importance of a safe and secure platform where the poker player information and transactions are handled in most
Summary:
The team behind Bodog has tried to copy their successful concept they had into a pure US Brand and they are on the right track. Although, we are a bit disappointed that Bovada does not offer Live Chat Support and as well that the Poker Software is quite dated there are many other positive things to say about the Bovada brand.
One benefit is that you are able to use your Bovada account for not only Poker, but also you are also able to play Casino and Sports betting with the same account. Their first time deposit bonus is one of the better for US Poker players and you also have the benefit to play against quite soft competition, if you are keeping track of your opponents and playing the right limits for your bankroll.
Bovada Poker is an overall good option for US Poker Players.
