Ozoon Poker (formerly Bodog)
Bodog's Canadian poker room under its new name since February 2026.
you are a casual player who wants soft, anonymous tables and Interac deposits in a room that feels familiar from Bodog.
you want rakeback, a HUD, or more than four tables at once. Not open in Manitoba.
If you played on Bodog at any point in the last twenty years, you already know Ozoon. On February 17, 2026 the Bodog name was retired in Canada and the poker room, casino and sportsbook reopened the next morning as Ozoon. Usernames, passwords, balances and bonuses moved across untouched.
The poker room itself did not change. It is still part of the PaiWangLuo network with Ignition and Bovada, which means your tables are full of American recreational players.
What changed, and what did not
- The name and address. The site is now Ozoon.eu, and the poker software is the Ignition client.
- The licence. Ozoon operates under licence 0000228 from the Tobique Gaming Commission, the regulator of Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick. The site's footer names Basswood Ventures S.R.L. of Costa Rica as the licence holder. Reports at launch named a company called Rocketship Ventures.
- Manitoba is out. A Manitoba court granted an injunction against Bodog in 2025 and Ozoon does not take players there.
- Everything else stayed. Same games, same cashier, same bonuses.
The games
Hold'em, Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo from micro stakes up. The busy part is Zone Poker, the fast-fold format, where the Hold'em pools up to $200 buy-in are well populated. Regular Omaha tables exist and are quieter.
Three rules make this room different from every other on the site:
- Anonymous tables. No screen names. Nobody can build a file on how you play, and you cannot build one on them.
- No table selection. You pick a game and stake, and Quick Seat puts you somewhere. Regulars cannot hunt for the weakest player in the lobby.
- Four tables at most. No one is grinding sixteen screens against you.
All three protect casual players, and they work. This is the easiest room here for a beginner. The trade is that a serious player gives up their tools.
Tournaments
A $200,000 guaranteed weekly event, a $100,000 high roller on Sundays, jackpot sit and gos with a top prize of $100,000, and three named series through the year. Daily freerolls run in the tournament lobby, with promotional ones at $500 and $1,000. Good value for the field strength, though the guarantees are a tier below ACR's.
What you get back
There is no rakeback. Ozoon has a points programme and a small royal flush bonus at the Hold'em cash tables, and that is about it. The room's view is that soft games are the reward. For most casual players that is a fair deal. For someone playing thousands of hands a week, the missing rakeback is real money.
The welcome bonus
Up to $1,000 for poker, released in stages as you play. As everywhere, it pays out for volume. Accounts are in Canadian dollars, so there is no exchange to think about.
Getting money in and out
This is Ozoon's advantage for Canadians. It takes Interac as well as Visa and Mastercard, so you do not need cryptocurrency to get started. If you do use crypto, it accepts Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin and Tether. The site advertises winnings in your wallet within 24 hours.
Software and mobile
A download client for desktop and a browser version that works on phones and tablets, with no app to install. The lobby is deliberately bare. It hides how many tables are running and has no waiting lists. HUDs and tracking software do not work here, by design.
Is Ozoon safe?
The business behind it has been taking bets since the 1990s and has paid Canadian poker players for two decades under the Bodog name. The Ozoon name is new, and so is the licence. A First Nations regulator in New Brunswick is closer to home than Panama or Anjouan, but it is still not a provincial regulator, and the province you live in will not step in on a dispute.
Online reviews since the rebrand are mixed. Long-time players report no change. A handful of angry reviews, mostly about the casino and sportsbook, appeared in the months after the switch. That is a small sample and worth watching.
How it compares
Against ACR: Ozoon is softer, simpler and takes Interac. ACR has bigger tournaments, rakeback and HUDs. Against BetOnline: both are soft. Ozoon protects casual players harder with anonymous tables, and BetOnline is the one open to Manitoba.
Getting paid
NorthernNuts: The Ozoon name has only been around since 2026, so my record under that name is short. It runs on the same back end as Bodog, where I cashed out for more than 20 years and was always paid. Cashouts are usually the same day, sometimes the next. The methods change now and then, so check the cashier before you deposit.
How this review was put together: the room's own site and terms, independent poker news coverage, competitor reviews and player forum reports, all checked November 14, 2026, plus NorthernNuts's own years as a customer. Bonuses and schedules change, so confirm anything that matters to you in the lobby.
Questions
Is Ozoon the same as Bodog?
Yes. Bodog's Canadian site was renamed Ozoon on February 17, 2026. Accounts, balances and bonuses carried over, and the poker room is unchanged.
Is Ozoon available in Manitoba?
No. Bodog was barred from Manitoba by a court injunction in 2025 and Ozoon does not accept players there. It is also not available in Ontario or Alberta.
Does Ozoon Poker have rakeback?
No. It has a points programme and soft, anonymous games, and no rakeback deal.
Can I use a HUD on Ozoon?
No. Tables are anonymous and tracking software does not work, which protects casual players.
Does Ozoon accept Interac?
Yes. Interac, Visa and Mastercard are listed for deposits, along with several cryptocurrencies.
