[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread

This thread is to separate the Bovada-related comments and questions from the Official Bodog Support Thread, which is there only for questions or concerns about anything Bodog-branded.

There is no official Bovada Rep at 2+2 at this time, but perhaps if discussion is effected in a civil manner, one might arrive in due course?

Thank you.

I experience this to a degree and I chalk it up to the software just being so bad that it doesn't queue you properly. For example I can be sitting a table alone for 30-60 seconds, and then fire up another table and be immediately sat.


See what comes of this.

Yeah I get that too. Difficult to tell if there are games going and how many.

Sometimes I'll open up 4 tables and all be alone, but if I close out and try again a minute later all of a sudden I'm able to be seated.

I wish they would post at least how many active tables there are so you at least know how the traffic is.


Can anyone explain why I'll get the disconnected error during a hand. It'll literally be < 15 seconds, and I'll be moved to a different table?


by CastlesMadeASand P

I actually think there's a decent chance player pool segregation is occurring. Will randomly be sitting 2 empty tables and then suddenly a 124.7 bb stack will get moved to my table. No other table that I can see is running and can't buy in initially for >100bb so the only logical answer is that there was another table going that they would not put me on.

Definitely think they're in on the shadiness thats going on. It's a business and they're here to make money obviously and again their bottom line has taken a hit in recent years for reasons i mentioned earlier. They also haven't had their rng independently verified in how many years now? However much stock you wanna put in that is up to you. They segregated poker accounts from sports betting and casino for over a year before and created a whole new skin to do so(that was crappy but not shady, just giving examples of drastic measures they've taken). They see sports betting and online gaming getting legalized state by state year after year in the US, "they see the writing on the wall". Would this be the first time or first poker site that has turned shady AF and absolutely screwed its customers?


What’s with the MTT schedule missing tournaments? Is there downtime or something?

Yeah I saw something saying there would be a maintenance period late tonight.


So, I think a bunch of the colluders were possibly banned during the week, or they certainly disappeared for maybe a week/slightly less. Seems like some have reappeared today. There is clearly at least 1 player blatantly using rta though.



Always the same playbook on river. Obv reported but these guys clearly have just made new accounts within a week. Games are ****ed.


I noticed that the 200-500z pools had been fairly dead the past week. I wonder if it's because of bans? It seems unusual to have a decline in traffic just as the Super Bowl is approaching.


When I try to open Ignition, I just get a black box that minimizes after a few seconds. I tried reinstalling, but it didn't work. Guessing the site is down? I don't see any scheduled maintenance on the forum or social media.

same here

Where did you find that? Good to know it was planned... we haven't been having issues with the site crashing for months now (knock on wood).


I was disconnected for maintenance at 1:50 am Central Time from 25,50nl zone tables. They won't refund the money I had on the table that wasn't credited back to my account, even though in the transactions sections it shows the difference in "Money in". They linked me the "disconnect protection" article even though it was their software that disconnected people. Low IQ scammers there. Trash ass site anyway. Ugly and no rakeback. Only thing good about this site was the tards.


every single ****ing table suspicious collusion ****, 8 years grinding this site, **** is unplayable, micro and mid stakes plo grinder


I withdrew my roll from Ignition yesterday as I found the play just getting weirder and weirder. My spidey senses have been tingling hard there the last month or so. Once they deal with the collusion and obvious bots maybe I'll go back, but the volume sucks lately too.


Online poker in America might finally be dead.

The exact same thing happened to me. I lost over $100USD on the 25NL tables. Wtf?

Never had this happen before. I've sent them an email and waiting for a reply.

maybe this is minutia but curious why QQ would call and draw attention to both of their hands before the cards have to be exposed?

because i would think they would want at least 24hrs to abuse the current accounts and empty them (before the hand's hole cards would be revealed, and them possibly reported/banned)

def looks like collusion, but are they just dumb, careless or is there another component i'm missing?

QQ isn't one of the colluders. P2 and P6 are. P2 check/squeezes river to try and get (am guessing Kx to fold) but reg still calls QQ (maybe he reads here and understands how these guys operate).


Oh **** didn't realize. my next thought would be why wouldn't P6 just jam since P1 so capped after x,x and just calling block (unless this is some kind of trap to set up colluders)?


What happened to tournaments this morning? Did they do maintenance yet again?

Probably both....

Embrace the power of 'And.'


Even the micro games these are botty and suspicious now, from 5 zone upwards. Even though its just the higher stakes players complaining, the whole site is trash now.
