[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.

Anyone play NL25 or NL50 here and have a good sample of hands at Bodog/Ignition and in another poker room too? To see the Winrate and the thoughts
Do you fear playing against bots?
Tables getting stuck at 99% again. Looks like they just fixed it.
Yeah bringing back the location thing was cool. And the gameplay experience and the volume you can get in and all that is just world's apart.
Previously Ignition's only draw was that the pool was so much softer which justified all of their other short comings which is pretty much every other aspect. But now w/ all the bots, rta and collusion and who knows what else it's not even close.
On Ignition I played mostly 100 and dabbled in 50 and 200 when there weren't enough games running.
ACR I play 100 reg and 25 blitz. W/ the bot clean up and the Germans not allowed to play the game quality is way better than I remember from last year.

So u think is softer and better than Ignition? At Bodog are too much recs in the tables tbh but the RNG and "weird" variance is a little suspicious imo... I dont know if is better to try acr or Ipoker for example. Thanks!!!
ARE THE BOTS JUST AS BAD ON BOVADA/IGNITION?
Sorry for shouting. I am trying to find out if Bovada is as bad or worse that ACR. I don't play much, but I thought Bovada and Ignition used the same player pool.

I don't know if it's softer, but I would say it's similar enough where it doesn't justify playing there like it did in the past. And overall yeah I feel it's way better.
Yeah and idk if it's just a coincidence, but I ran the worst I've ever run in my life the entire time I played there. By the end I was down 40 buy ins under EV in only about 27k hands which seems excessive though I know there are people who have probably experienced this many times.
So whether it was for psychological reasons or whatever I feel much better after switching.

So far I've logged 35k hands on 25b and about 7800 hands on 100nl.
Haven't noticed any bots though it's probably hard to tell in the blitz pools. But I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Ignition is way worse for sure I noticed bots and colluders all the time even at 100.

What are the slots like on ACR? Any good bonuses/jackpots?

Ignition 100x softer than ACR. Too much RECS? Why problem this? Too much recs = $$$$$$$$$$$. ACR or ipoker benefits: rakeback, but the game is harder. Acr has got bots and colluders too…. And the software full of bugs… crashing pop up windows, top up feature dont work sometimes, lagg, waiting list is bugs and other crap stuff.. For me ipoker software is 3x better than ACR but acr graphics style better.

In today's online environment you should assume you're being cheated a decent percent of the time. There's bots, people colluding, and using rta on every site. Regs that were winning years ago are winning less or losing today. This is the unfortunate reality of online poker. This is something that you need to accept when you deposit online. The options are to adjust and play as long as you're profitable or move on. There's still plenty of regs that are getting good results but they aren't speaking up or posting results.
Imo bovada/ignition is still better than ACR due to the fact there are more recs. So play there if you're goal is to make money. Play anywhere if you're just trying to have fun and the money doesn't matter.

100%. Who cant beat bovada, 100% loose on every other site.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone has issues with verifying identification on Bodog? I sent them all of the documents they needed but they just sent me another email saying to re-submit the same documents with no explanation as to why. I provided proof of address in Canada as well as my ID and selfie with ID. Does anyone know how to escalate the issue/get this handled faster? My account is disabled until it’s resolved… thanks so much!

this usually takes time, no way to make it faster :(
Looking into Zapruder affiliates for a new Bovada account. Anyone have any experience with them? Any downsides to using an affiliate for rakeback with with Bovada?
Thanks.

They offer 25% RB in theory but it comes to about 20% rake back in practice. They are a 'legit' company so they will require your SSN for tax purposes. You will be sent a 1099 at the end of the year which means you will be paying self employment taxes on top of your normal income taxes.
One might choose a less established affiliate to avoid taxes but they might not be ethical or reliable long term.

Appreciate the response. Totally cool with paying taxes but having the SSN out there is something to consider. Will definitely take that into consideration. Big thanks again.
