Bodog Poker Changes Rakeback Structure for Micro-Stakes Cash Tables
Bodog Poker recently changed how it determines rakeback in all micro-stakes cash games. Oddly, the Bodog Poker rakeback changes were not publicly announced. In light of the situation, we’ve decided to share what we’ve learned about the NEW rakeback structure at Bodog Poker.
- Click for –> Bodog Poker Signup
Until now, the Bodog Poker rakeback average was 2.1% out of any micro-stakes pot. The NEW Bodog Poker rakeback has increased the rake cap from 10 cents to $3. Sure, this implies a $150 pot, but how often do you see that at nickel/dime tables? Fortunately, for Bodog Poker players, the new rake amount is still lower than many other poker sites.
Overall, here’s how the new Bodog Poker rakeback program works, and what it means for your poker game:
- In micro-stakes cash games, a small cut is taken out of each pot or a small charge is added to your entry fee, known as the “rake”. The overall average rake taken from the pot at micro-limit NL Holdem tables will more likely be 4.1% (versus 2.1% before).
- Bodog then rewards players by refunding part of the rake, called the “rakeback”. Bodog Poker will maintain its “no flop no drop” rule, meaning a rake won’t be taken from a hand in which there is no flop.
- The Bodog Poker rakeback comes in the form of “frequent player points” (or comp points), which can be cashed into your Bodog Poker player account at the end of the month – $25,000 is the max you can receive per month.
Bodog Poker is still quite popular with players on a limited budget, because it offers a better value to players by giving more bang for their buck. However, it’s always safe to compare rakeback programs among several poker sites before forking over money.
For an accurate comparison of your ROI, subtract the poker games’ rakeback (when applicable) from the actual rake. Click here to learn even more on how to improve your poker game at Bodog Poker!
UB Poker, Ultimate Bet Pro Freeroll Challenge Starting Soon!
Even though the Ultimate Bet (UB) Poker site just wrapped up its largest, most successful online poker tournament in more than a decade, the company is preparing for yet another big money tournament to offer UB poker members – the Ultimate Bet Pro Freeroll Challenge.
- Click for –> UB Poker Signup
The Ultimate Bet Pro Freeroll Challenge is an online poker series comprised of 6 freeroll tournaments. What makes it so special (and the reason for “Pro” in the title) is that members get to compete live against Team UB Poker professionals.
Here’s how the Ultimate Bet Pro Freeroll Challenge will work:
- Periodically, a single Team UB Poker pro will be hosting a Hold’em freeroll on the UB site and will add $2,000 to each freeroolls prize pool – but that’s only the beginning.
- Each Team UB Pro is being asked to throw in a freeroll incentive all their own, with each having a different bonus in the prize pool.
- Team UB pros are encouraged to offer a “unique experience” for the winner of the particular freerolls that includes some real face time with the respective celebrity UB Poker star.
UB Poker is of course hoping to draw on Team UB Pros’ star power to draw a larger playing field than ever could have been drawn otherwise. The same goes for the prizes offered for BOTH members and pros.
UB Poker Prizes: In addition to a bonus $500 cash being awarded to the Pro Freeroll Challenge winner, one is given the a Team UB Pro too. The player who then draws the largest playing field to their freeroll wins a $2,500 Vegas evening. The player who draws the lowest playing field to their freeroll will serve as their concierge.

If you’re not a Bodog Poker player yet, then the site is giving twelve good reasons to start – or more like twelve days packed full of reasons. And if you’re already a player over at Bodog Poker, then this will be a very merry Christmas for you. Why?

Keep on like that and continue accumulating raffle tickets, with no cap on how many you can earn. Once you earn a raffle ticket, it is yours to keep for the duration of the promotion (which runs December 16 through December 27), unless and until you win a prize with it.
During Bodog’s Twelve Days of Poker, there will be two raffle drawings per day, a Low drawing of the 25-BPP tickets and a High drawing of the 75-BPP tickets.

Satellites for Bodog Poker $100K Guaranteed Weekly Tournament On Now
Get ready for the Bodog Poker $100K Weekly Guaranteed, because after a brief and unexpected stint away (they were having technical difficulties) the biggest weekly event on Bodog Poker’s schedule is going strong, and there are more cheap and easy ways to win a free seat in this $55 buy-in event than ever just by playing the best game on earth – Texas Holdem Poker.
Satellite into the Bodog Weekly $100K Guaranteed Poker Tournament for as little as $1.
They call those the “Cheap Seats”, and they happen twice a day every day (but Sunday) with 1 seat in the Sit and Go Seminfinals for every $34 in the prize pool (or every 34 players competing, to put it another way). The seminfinal is a Sit & Go with a $34 direct buy-in. They run throughout the day, Monday through Saturday, shuffling up and dealing whenever 6 players fill the table, with 1 of those 6 headed to the weekly $100K Guaranteed.
Alternatively, you can climb one of two other ladders, for either a $22 cash buy-in or a 750 Bodog Poker Points buy-in. The second step of both ladders looks almost identical (but for the direct buy-ins). Players are given a choice of an event in which only 1 seat is given away, but it’s a rebuy event, or a non-rebuy event in which 10 seats are guaranteed to be given away. The direct buy-ins for both of these steps is cash only (that means no BPP buy-ins here, sorry), with step 2 on the $22 cash ladder costing $7.70 and step 2 on the 750 BPP side costing $17.
Sign up and play at Bodog.com and enter the Bodog $100K Guaranteed Weekly Poker Tournament that takes place every Sunday at Bodog Poker at 4 pm ET. Last Sunday’s winner L Rocketz took home a cool $25,000.
