Bodog Poker Room Continues to Take Hit

Saturday September 20, 2008

Bodog Poker is once among the more prominent of the poker rooms, continues to struggle during the month of September, 2008.

The poker had been hovering around the number 10 spot prior to this summer but is now barely clinging on to the number 14 position of top poker rooms.

Doyles Room passed Bodog Poker this month as part of the Microgaming Network. Doyles Room is that company's marquee brand and by far its most heavily promoted. Doyles Room has the potential to carry Microgaming well into the Top 10 in the event they should sign Olympic gold medal swimmer, Michael Phelps. Gambling911 was the first to report that Doyle Brunson was recently teaching Phelps the "ins and outs" of professional online poker.

Bodog Poker is looking to make a splash at this week's second annual World Series of Poker Europe. Bodog's celebrity online poker players include a man who has starred in granny porn, a Survivor loser and last year's APT champion Yevgeniy Timoshenko, whose name is more difficult to pronounce than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

This summer, Bodog Poker had millions of dollars seized by the US Government as part of an extensive investigation into payment processors.
