How it works

Step-by-step guide

Follow the process in order, then check the room's current lobby and cashier terms before committing funds.

  1. 1

    Open the tournament lobby

    Log in to Bodog Poker and click on the "Tournaments" tab. You'll see all upcoming and running events.

  2. 2

    Use filters

    Filter by game type, buy-in range, speed (regular/turbo/hyper), and format (MTT/SNG/Satellite). This narrows down events to match your preferences.

  3. 3

    Check tournament details

    Click on any tournament to see detailed info: structure, blind levels, payout percentages, late registration period, and current registrations.

  4. 4

    Register for events

    Click "Register" to enter a tournament. The buy-in is deducted from your balance. You can unregister before the tournament starts if needed.

  5. 5

    Set up alerts

    If Bodog Poker supports it, set up alerts for specific tournaments so you're notified before registration closes.

Tips and best practices

  • Check the tournament schedule at the start of each day to plan your session around key events.
  • Look for guaranteed prize pool tournaments — if they don't fill up, you get overlay value.
  • Register for satellites early in the week when competition is lighter.
  • Bodog Poker's PaiWangLuo network often hosts cross-platform tournament series with larger prize pools.
