Exclusive $100K Qualifiers for New Players

online poker room thinks about its patrons like Bodog Poker. Besides having the best tournament events that include buy-ins from three different stakes levels, Bodog also makes their new players welcome with a bunch of free action to get that bankroll going.
Right now new Bodog players will be awarded numerous event buy-ins, just for signing up with the poker room. Bodog has recently opened their doors to Canadian poker players, and all the new players that have signed up in recent months will be offered free action.
Each new player gets six exclusive qualifier tournaments to play in. They can play in as many as three tournaments per week over a period of two weeks. All these qualifiers are to get into the weekly $100K guaranteed event.
Winning the tournament gets you directly into the $100,000 Final on Sunday. Placing 2nd to 10th wins you a seat in any $100K Semifinal with a $17 buy-in. If you play in any $100K Semifinal and win, you'll have a $162 seat in the $100K Guaranteed.
To prevent players from using all their tournament opportunities in one day Bodog is limiting how often you can play the games. You're limited to three tournaments per week, and you only have two weeks to play all of them or the opportunity will pass you by.
These exclusive qualifiers have very small playing fields, and are usually easy to make it into the money when you play in one. If you manage to make it into the $100K Guaranteed you could win the $25K first-place prize for your efforts.
The exclusive qualifiers are only the tip of the iceberg for new players at Bodog. Besides the six opportunities to get to the $100K guaranteed, Bodog will also give a 110% match bonus on your first deposit. Just play enough hands to collect your bonus and it will be automatically deposited into your playing account.
When you include the daily freerolls and other player bonuses like the
bad beat and
royal flush bonus, it's hard to beat Bodog for value on your playing dollar.
The weekly $100K Guaranteed is consistently one of the tournaments with the biggest layover. Most weeks the layover is worth $25K or more. And only between 400 and 550 players are usually entered into the event on any given Sunday.
You'll be hard pressed to find a small field with such a big prize pool on any online poker room other than Bodog.
