BodogLife poker is giving a Free Shot for its $100K Prize Pool. BodogLife Poker is looking to give free entry into its $100,000-guaranteed tournament to up to 27 online poker players. The site is featuring a series of exclusive poker freerolls for its players to celebrate the end of the college and pro football seasons. Those who win free seats can play in the major Sunday event the very next day. The freeroll can be found by clicking on the “Scheduled Tournament” tab, then the “Daily” tab, and then the “Private” radio button. Bodog Life plans to hold the private freerolls every weekend from now until the end of the NFL playoffs.

The $100,000-guaranteed event, held every Sunday at 4 p.m. ET, has been showing an increased value as of late with overlays reaching nearly $40,000. The overlays mean more bang for a player’s buy-in buck as the lower turnouts mean less competition for the paying spots and larger payouts for most of those who cash in the events. A representative from Bodog said that it is likely that the lower turnouts are because of the site’s major demographic: sports-lovers who are pumped and tied up watching the wrap-up games of the football season. Those wishing to sign up for Bodog Poker can now take advantage of this exclusive deal as well as the recently introduced sign up bonus of 110% up to $500.
