It’s a good day to be an online poker player from Canada. One of the most popular sites in the industry, Bodog has finalized plans to accept players from Canada – a move that promises to raise a smile on the face of thousands of poker fans.

And if that wasn’t enough, Bodog is also running a great double points promotion where points can be exchanged for cash on the site. This is a limited promotion so it’s worth checking out its terms and conditions to see how you can also benefit.

The Bodog Poker website stated that “there’s never been a better time to be a frequent poker player at Bodog!”

“For a limited time, we are offering players who earn 2,000 or more points in a month an opportunity to double their cash rewards with a double points bonus,” read the announcement.

Canadian and other players – including those from the United States – will find that the points can be converted into cash or for other purposes. For example, they can be used to enter certain tournaments and other competitions.

Points are earned for practically every type of play or tournament at Bodog Poker. For example, cash game pots with rakes of 0.05 and 0.20 could earn players 0.10 Poker Points. The higher the rakes, the higher the points value.

When it comes to tournaments, players could earn three Bodog Poker Points for each $1 they pay in tournament fees.

If the super double points promotion was not enough to get you to try the site, Bodog is offering a 110% sign up bonus for all new players who make a deposit into their online casino account. This promotion is valued up to $500 and can make a bankroll go extra far.

The online casino also holds regular guaranteed tournaments, including a $1000 event each and every Sunday eve.

In other Bodog news, it was announced that Bodog Europe has signed a three year sponsorship deal with Fulham Football Club as the team’s official betting and gaming partner.

The Managing Director of Bodog Europe, Keith McDonnell, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to kick off what we are certain will become a long-standing partnership with Fulham. During our discussions, it quickly became apparent that we share an unquenchable passion for football, but also a deep commitment to the service and entertainment of our fans and customers. We think it’s a perfect fit.”
