Bodog has a good reputation and an A rating from respected review site SBR. They have a good track record of staying out of legal problems. For about the last 3 years I believe the MMGG group has been running the poker side with Bodog branding, which will change Dec 31 as Bodog brand will end it's relationship. Their press release mentioned that MMGG will continue to operate the poker operation going forward, so unless the logo in the lobby makes a difference, nothing should change.
They need to improve their software, but their CS is decent IMO and have a presence on this forum with a couple reps. No RB is a big issue, but they do have a few promos that augment the paltry 1% points to cash system.
I use them as an alternate to Merge (backup in case Merge goes down?) and I find their cash tables much softer than Merge and for stakes I play fairly active. The 4 table max does not bother me too much, playing cash I usually tile and I fit 6 max anyway on monitor. If a couple more tables needed just add from Everleaf.
All in all, given the choices we have, it is an adequate US facing site once you get a hand grabber working with HEM. Traffic is reasonable and tables are soft, probably because the lack of regs who want RB and more tables stacked.
