The WSOP Qualifiers for poker players are still going on at Bodog until June 14. It is never too late to get the word out. Bodog welcomes its players to qualify for the 2009 World Series of Poker.

At present, there is only one tournament that can guarantee poker immortality, and only one online poker site that is making it convenient than ever to get there. BodogPoker has guaranteed 5 WSOP Main Event Prize Packages every week, two awarded on each Sunday. Due to a considerable decline in tournament entries, it has become especially easy to win a seat in the 2009 WSOP Main Event via the online poker room.

Jean-Robert Bellande, Bodog Poker Pro expressed, “The Main Event is the one tournament we all dream about winning, and the simplest and easiest way to make that dream come true is here at Bodog.”

In the past two weeks, Bodog.com has seen an average of 66 players competing in the Sunday tournament. Even with such low entry rates, Bodog Poker continues to dole out the two promised WSOP Main Event Prize Packages each weekend.

It costs $250 to buy-in to the tournament directly, but more affordable satellite tournaments are held throughout the weekend, awarding a seat in Sunday’s WSOP Main Event Semifinal tournament. As to why participation levels have been so low, this can only be speculated; but the fact that the Sunday Main Event Semifinals are held at 3:15 a.m. ET might have something to do with it.

Bodog is the world’s pre-eminent online gambling destination offering players top-class sports betting in its Sportsbook, a Vegas-style online Casino with more than 75 games, a feature-rich online Poker Room and a wide variety of tracks and wager types in its Racebook.

Bodog is celebrating its 15th year as a trusted and respected leader in the online gambling industry.

Bodog is giving online poker players (Mac users included) the chance to play on the virtual felt anytime, anywhere, with its new Instant Play poker client. With absolutely no software to download, all a player needs to instantly access the Bodog Poker Room is a web browser and an Internet connection.

“The new Instant Play option at Bodog is perfect for when I want to play poker on my Mac or play cash games on a friend’s computer who may not have the Bodog Poker client installed,” says Bodog Poker Pro Evelyn Ng. “You can even snatch a few games at work.”

Indeed, the Instant Player version of Bodog Poker gives players total freedom to play when and where they want, whether it’s getting in 20 minutes of poker during a break at work, playing a marathon session from a hotel room while on a business trip, or hitting the tables on that shiny new Mac at home.

Players using Instant Play for cash game action also have access to amazing incentives. The “Points to Cash” program lets players accumulate points just for playing – win or lose – that can be cashed in for up to $500 a month. The Royal Flush Bonus awards 50 times the big blind up to $200 if a player takes down a pot holding the king of all poker hands and, conversely, the Bad Beat Bonus awards 100 times the big blind up to $1,000 if that seemingly dominant hand is crushed by one better.

Flying off to exotic locations to play in the world’s finest poker tournaments isn’t just for the poker pros you see on television. Thanks to Bodog, amateur players can now join the club—the Bodog Flight Club, that is—for as little as $1. Right now in the Bodog Poker Room, the online poker powerhouse is giving away at least one Bodog Flight Club Package a month to major tournaments in Europe, South America and North America, with most events featuring prize pools over a million dollars.

Winners of a Bodog Flight Club package receive buy-in to the main event, travel expenses, spending money and instantly become a member of Team Bodog, complete with loads of Bodog gear and articles written up about their progress so friends and family can follow results from home.

“Take it from me, it doesn’t get any better than playing in a major tournament in an exotic location as a member of Team Bodog,” says Bodog Poker Pro David Williams. “The Bodog Flight Club is a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete for serious money against the best in the world, all while having an adventure only Bodog can deliver.”

The next Bodog Flight Club departure is the LAPT event in Punta del Este, Uruguay, held Mar. 18-20. Qualifiers are running daily at Bodog Poker for as little as $1 or 100 Bodog Poker Points, and all lead up to the LAPT Uruguay Semifinal event on Monday, Feb. 16 at 9:00 p.m. EST, where at least two Bodog Flight Club prize packages to the LAPT Uruguay are guaranteed. The winners will join Bodog online player “Nate Avenson”, who will be heading off to Uruguay in Bodog style after winning a prize package during Bodog’s Super Bowl Special tournament.

Next up after Uruguay will be the “Flight Club – San Remo” event on Monday, Mar. 16 at 9:00 p.m. EST, where at least two more Bodog Flight Club prize packages are guaranteed to the event in San Remo, Italy, held Apr. 18-23.

The Sunday $100,000 Guaranteed is Bodog’s big weekly tournament, and it is back from its break over Super Bowl weekend when Bodog hosted a special Sunday tournament for its players. A total of $20,000 in added prize money was awarded, or approximately $50 added per player, proving once again that no other online poker site gives its players greater value for their tournament dollars.
