So for the Bodog bottomless bonus you have to earn 3 points for every $1 in bonus money correct? And you get 1 point each time you contribute to a raked pot correct? So this means to get a $50 bonus one would only have to contribute to 150 raked hands? Or for a $100 bonus only 300 hands? This seems pretty easy - am I missing something?

EDIT: What is a good down time at Bodog before cashing out and re-loading again?

EDIT #2: I just remembered you can only 3-table at Bodog so I guess that makes it a little tougher.

1)For the most part you are correct.

2) I usually play a couple more days and then cashout.Try to only this once a month or so here and there spread out.

3) Be careful;'the players have gotten much better since when they first opened. Alot of sharks have since joined,and the awful players either busted out or got better.

It's not as easy as you initially thought. It's a point system based on the size of the rake, not a raked hand system. A $0.05-0.20 rake only gets you 0.1 points toward the bonus. $0.25-0.45 gets you 0.25 points, etc. And of course it's contributed raked so if you folded PF you don't share in the raked hand point joy. I'm not sure if it counts if you fold in the blinds.

The breakdown is here:

Martin, just an FYI--I deposited $1000 at Bodog beginning of May and also got a $200 RAF bonus. It took me ~ 2 weeks of three-tabling to clear the bonus.

It does not clear as easily as maybe you've been thinking. That said, I still think it's one of the fishiest sites out there and would highly recommend trying it if you haven't before. I made $500 over the bonus, and have always done very well there.

Refer-a-friend. Bodog offers a good one--it's like 200 bonus $ to you if your friend deposits $500.

Are you playing NL or limit and what levels? I don't have much of a feel for Bodog yet. How do you compare 10NL and 25NL to Boss's 10NL and 25NL?
