As long as you contribute something to the pot, you get credited if it is raked. It has been like that from the beginning at Bodog. | | Static Link |

I used to start them a lot. They were very good for clearing the bonus, and the players really sucked.
AC_Jeff, they do have 5-card Stud, which is like Soko without the 4-straights and 4-flushes. Limit only though.
Lvdonkey, Bodog is based on contributed raked hands, while Tribeca sites are contributed rakeback. Everybody who contributed to the pot at Bodog gets the same number of points, while at Tribeca how many points you get depends on how much money you put in the pot. | | Static Link |

Since when is Bodog contributed rake.. $1 for every 3 Bodog points is contributed? I deposit about 5k-6k every month, spend a week or so working it off. Took me over 2 months to work off that Doyles contributed rake crap, Bodog I get done in a week or 2. | | Static Link |

Do they play SOKO there? I really miss that game since B2B has ousted Americans
what about O8?

But how many people are like you and just say fuck bodog. and leave. Its not a great bonus at limit Ill give you that, but at PL and NL with some of the weak passive preflop play you get at bodog its awesome.
PLAY STUD... When you do, the bonus is great AND the players still suck.
Please pardon my ignorance as i don't play Stud but why does the bonus clear better at Stud?

Play stud...it clears a hell of a lot faster.

Well said. We are whores, but we have to use discretion as well.
