Question re: Bodog bonus

[TheDonk]

I'm currently working on my Bodog review for my newest site, with more details than I have on my other sites. Regarding the Bodog bonus structure, I received a chart full of numbers from the Bodog AM, but can only make sense of 1/2 of it. Something isn't making sense to me that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I understand that a player needs to earn 3 Bodog Poker Points per dollar in bonus cashout. What I don't understand is the actual structure in bonus points/rake, as well as bonus points/tournament fee's. According to what I've read at a couple other sites, a player earns 6 points per dollar in tournament fee's. Well, that can't be right because based on that, a player would get $2 in bonus for a $1 tourney fee. I'm assuming that what I've read is old information, but I don't know for sure. I can't find this info on Bodog's website, and can't seem to find info that makes sense anywhere else.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

"3 pts are issued for ea. $1 in tournament entry fees. Ex: A $5.00+$0.50 tournament would earn 1.5 points."

PokerProp,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was starting to make me a little nuts trying to figure this out.

You know, come to think of it, that's still odd.

Players must earn 3 points per $1 in bonus.

But, players get 3 points per $1 in tournament fee's. (100% return)

Suppose they do this because it's only a 10% bonus?

That's just odd, or am I missing something.....am I missing something??

Sorry if I'm just a dumbass, but I'm still confused by this.

It does, and always has, clear at 100% for tournaments

Bodog got rid of the 10% anytime bonus right? Didn't they get rid of that a while back?

Otherwise, if you had an average or below average tournament player who stays below the curve, and makes deposit after deposit, you could actually never make a penny off him. With a 10% bonus, and 70% (SNG) or 90% multi-table losing %, he would actually go broke right about the same time (or faster) as he clears his bonus. Even with the anytime bonus gone, you really want to send only ring game players to Bodog, and your tournament players elsewhere. Interesting.

The value of bodog "poker" players has always sucked for me. The overall value has been great though. Almost all my promotion has been through poker but so many of the poker players go to the casino and lose lots of money.
