Online Poker

Bodog Poker is celebrating 15 years of Bodog with 15 Days of Poker, a tournament series that will culminate in a $15,000 freeroll tourney.

Every day from 21 September to 5 October, tournaments with a $15 + $1 buy-in will run at 8:15PM ET to help decide the players who will make it into the 15 Days of Poker Semifinals and Finals. The top 30% of players in each of these daily tournament will receive leaderboard points, and the overall winner of each event will receive a bonus entry into the Sunday $100,000 guaranteed tournament. Some of the qualifying tournaments will also have significantly lower buy-ins, but these will be rare and are likely to have some of the largest fields.

Those placed in the top 15 of the tournament leaderboard at the end of the promotion will automatically earn a Finals spot. The players from 16th to 115th will instead win a second chance in the Semifinals. Players who have entered into 10 qualifying events will also get a seat in the Semifinals.

The Semifinals tournament on October 8 will award Finals seats to the players who finish in the top 15. On 15 October, the 15 Days of Poker Finals Freeroll will be played, offering a total of $15,000 prize money. Competitors will start with 5,000 chips and levels will increase every 15 minutes. Aside from the prizes awarded for finishing in the money, the top 15 players will receive entries into the Sunday $100,000 guaranteed tournament, which are worth $162.

There has never been a better time to join Bodog Poker. Aside from the 15 Days of Poker tournaments, Bodog is also holding $500 freerolls at 2:40PM and 9:40PM ET each day. This is a good incentive to join now rather than later, as it is a great complement to the 110% bonus on first deposits available to new Bodog players. With 10% of the bonus unlocked immediately, players depositing $160 or more could cover the cost of a 15 Days of Poker Qualifier with their initial bonus money alone.
