Bodog Poker Adds New Table Features!

Poker_Player_US Leave a comment

Bodog Poker - New Features, Big Bonus!When it comes to playing online poker, the overall experience factor is something that Bodog Poker has always taken very seriously. Many times players have said the software was "plain", but for the serious poker player, it is far from just plain. All the tools you need are right at your fingertips, (or mouse click).

Personally, I always loved the Bodog Poker software as there are so few distractions. You won’t find any cheesy images, annoying music or sketchy marketing tactics anywhere on Bodog because that’s not the way they do business. And since they have been in business so long (15 years) I think they have a rather good grasp on what players want and need. Simplicity is bliss for me!

Well, I guess it was time for a change, well, not a huge one, but a subtle change and certainly a change to the good! I believe you will enjoy the new features as much as I did the last time I played online poker at Bodog.

Here is what Bodog has just added to the poker room:

Muck One Card Feature: A common feature in land casinos, showing your opponent just one card is a strategy that Bodog’s skilled Hold’em players can now use to confuse or even mock their opponents. Maybe you were on Ace – Rag and put in a major bluff, you can now show the table just the Ace and make them wonder if you had pocket rockets or big slick. Or maybe you’ll just show the 5 off suit to frustrate them when you really held a King to complete a set. After all, a frustrated opponent makes for a rewarding win, wouldn’t you agree? Get your opponent steaming and clean him out when you hold the nuts!

The ‘NEW’ Final Table: Anytime you reach the final table in a multi-table tournament (MTT) it is quite an accomplishment. Well, Bodog thinks so too and now has a special Final Table that is unlike the other tables. Nice and classy in true Bodog fashion, edgy graphics and a tastefully designed table that perfectly compliment the intensity of final table action. Just wait till you make it to the Final Table, you’ll really want to pat yourself on the back when you see the new surroundings!

I was going to post a picture of the final table here but thought you would rather see it for yourself when you make the tournament final! I didn’t want to spoil the surprise :). Why not see it for yourself and Play Texas Hold’em at Bodog today for a truly unique online poker experience. All US players are welcome at Bodog Poker!

When you sign up to play online poker at Bodog here, and use Bodog referral code 2429235, you will be rewarded with a 110% poker bonus all the way up to $1,100! Better still, they will give you 10% of your bonus instantly, ready to take to the tables! The remaining 100% will be added to your account as you earn Bodog Poker Points. Get your Bodog Poker Bonus now!

Poker_Player_US Leave a comment

US Poker Players Return to Intertops Poker!The wait is over! Intertops Poker announced today the launch of their new US friendly poker room on the very popular Cake Poker Network! The former Microgaming poker room has officially closed and the doors have been swung wide open for US players to enjoy the games at one of the longest running online poker rooms in history!

Intertops Poker is offering all players, regardless if they deposited before or not to take a 200% poker bonus, up to $1,000 free when they make their first deposit on the new poker software! Use our exclusive Intertops Poker bonus code "1000ITP" after your deposit. And for players that have accounts at Intertops, you can log in to the new software with your existing Intertops account information! And yes, all your funds move right along with you!

The news comes just one week before two of the larger poker rooms on the Cake Network are to move to Merge Gaming taking thousands of players away from the tables. With the addition of Intertops poker, we would expect to see very little change in the player liquidity after the moves. In fact, even though the announcement by Intertops is only trickling out right now, the player volume at the Cake network is higher than it had been in the past months. With the addition of the 16 year old Intertops, the action at the tables should be juicier than ever! Get your Intertops account here!

For existing players at Intertops, all you have to do to convert is:

  1. Click here to go to Intertops and then click the download link.
  2. Complete the download and install the software like any other Cake poker room
  3. Log in with your existing Intertops account info. If you forgot it you can request the info from Intertops.
  4. Create your table name and select an avatar, adjust your settings, etc.
  5. Go to any cash table and take a seat, your cash will be ready to play with.
  6. Extra bonus offer: Make a first deposit and redeem bonus code "1000ITP" to get a 200% poker bonus up to $1,000 FREE!

For new Intertops accounts, the setup is very similar, just follow these easy steps:

  1. Click here to go to Intertops and then click the download link.
  2. Complete the download and install the software like any other Cake poker room
  3. Click on the "Create an Account link at the poker log in screen.
  4. Create your table name and select an avatar, adjust your settings, etc.
  5. Make a first deposit and redeem bonus code "1000ITP" to claim your 200% poker bonus up to $1,000 FREE!

In addition to the first deposit poker bonus for all players, Intertops Poker is also treating all players to:

  • Regular Reload Bonuses
  • $6 Million in Monthly Tournament Guarantees
  • Unique Gold Reward Program.
  • Rake Races ($150,000 in April)
  • Satellites to various live and online events.
  • Predictions of over 10,000 active players during peak hours.
  • Players from the US are welcome.
  • One account for all products – Same username and password for Poker, Casino and Sportsbook. All you have to do is download the new poker software to enjoy all the action!

With this sudden influx of players to the tables, it looks like the Cake network will continue to enjoy rather soft play and expanding bankrolls for the average poker player. It’s like stocking a trout stream the day they open trout season! Bring your fishing pole and rake in the cash! Get your account now!

Rosso Poker Snags PPN Player Data!

Poker_Player_US 4 Comments

Rosso Poker Attempts theft of dataJust one day after the Poker Pros Network (PPN) announced it’s closing the OpenLot poker software version of the up and coming network, players of the PPN network received emails from Rosso Poker telling them that they can log into the Rosso Poker software using their existing PPN details. This was all done without the knowledge of the PPN network and the player data was reported to been obtained unlawfully.

They went on to say in the email dated April 8, 2010 that players funds would not be included in the move and to contact PPN to "enquire about your balance and how you can gain access to your funds." Rosso Poker went on to offer players a 100% bonus up to $50 on their first deposit. Rosso Poker has been a struggling online poker room since opening in 2008. Perhaps the move was a vain attempt to breath new life into a failing business.

Below is a copy of the email received from Rosso Poker by us today:

Dear Player,

As you may already have learned from e-mails that you received, PPN is in dispute with their software provider regarding the supply of poker software for the PPN Poker Room and the timely payment of license fees due by PPN. Due to this dispute, access to the existing PPN poker servers has been terminated as of 12:01pm ET April 7th, 2010.

As we believe you enjoyed using the poker software, we hereby invite you to join RossoPoker ( www.rossopoker.com ). We are one of the existing poker rooms that uses the same software that you have played on at PPN and that you are already familiar with.

You can download the RossoPoker client from http://www.rossopoker.com/download.php/. Your name and password will remain the same and you can simply log in with the new client or you can create a new account if you so wish.

You account balances will be reset to zero on RossoPoker. If you had any real money balance in your PPN account, please contact PPN support at support@pokerprosnetwork.com to enquire about your balance and how you can gain access to your funds. Unfortunately, this is outside our control.

As Rosso Poker does not support PaylinQ, we would like to introduce you to Datacash, which offers you a range of options for you to make a deposit. Datacash is a trusted on-line payment processor and a listed UK company.

To welcome you to RossoPoker, we will be giving a 100% First Time Deposit Bonus to all players who deposit over $25 with a maximum of $50. (Terms and Conditions apply).

RossoPoker is offering some attractive tournaments, free rolls and ring games to ensure you can always find the game you want.

We look forward to see you once again at the tables!

If you have any comments or concerns please contact the RossoPoker Support Team at support@rossopoker.com

RossoPoker Support

Later today an email from the Poker Pros Network was recieved notifying players of the PPN network of the alleged illegal activity by Rosso. A copy of an e-mail sent to Rosso Poker and OpenLot was included in this email. Below is a copy of the email received:

PPN Pros and Players.

It has come to my attention that Openlot/Rosso has mailed the PPN databsase to invite you to play at Rosso Poker and that when you load the old PPN it creates a ROSSO Account.

This is in direct violation of the contract and a clear violation of all our players rights.

I have notified our legal team to immediatly take action to stop this. Here is a copy of what I sent to Openlot a few moments ago. I look forward to seing you on the new PPN.

Chuck Kidd
CEO

TO OPENLOT/ROSSO
I HAVE NOW BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU ARE USING THE LINK FOR PPN TO CHANGE PLAYERS SOFTWARE TO ROSSO. THIS IS UN ACCEPTABLE AND TOTALLY ILLEAGLE TO DO. I HAVE NOW ASKED MY LEGAL TEAM TO INFORM THE HOLDER OF YOUR GAMING LICENCE OF THIS UNLAWFUL ACTION AND TO DO ANY THING NECESSARY TO PUT A STOP TO IT. I AM GOING TO FORWARD ALL INFORMATION TO THE ONLINE COMMUNITY AT CASINO CITY, CASINOMEISTER, GAMBLING911 AND OTHERS ABOUT THIS ACTION AND I WILL REQUEST ALL 1400 PLUS MEMBERS OF THE PPN INCLUDING PRO PLAYERS OF GREAT REPUTATION TO GO PUBLIC ABOUT THE DEPLORABLE BEHAVIOR.

This has been forwarded to my legal department. All database of players and their information is the property of PPN. Any continued use will result in immediate legal action and to imply a feud over payment for your failure to deliver a useable product is quite frankly &^%$#(I don’t have the words here that I can use).

If another email is sent The gloves are coming off and I will instruct my legal team to take appropriate action to protect my players data. I will also take this to a public forum and ruin any chance that openlot/ rosso will have in the future to be in the poker business. Don’t test me on this.

Chuck Kidd

It will be interesting to see how all this plays out and if Rosso Poker will continue to have Pic-Club as a funding method for the few players that do patronize the Rosso Poker room. Pic-Club and Poker Pros Network are both headed by Chuck Kidd, CEO.
