[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread

What is it then? Is it some sort of all-or-nothing PLO strategy?

not PLO but NLHE... are you saying people are really buying in for 30BB? ALWAYS 30, and never a different amount? seems odd

Anyone else getting black screen when trying to log in?

What else would shortstackers buy in for? Im not implying everything is legit but it seems perfectly normal

im not sure but i think bots who buy for 30bbs just want to encourage some action, in my experience few hands later they rebuy for 100bbs

This one of the more important posts in this forum. EVERYONE should leave bovada immediately. Take your funds and leave. I'll give you the backstory in a post after this -

Today I just received an email banning my account. Here it is -

Hello,

This decision was made with careful consideration of the evidence and is final.

Regards,

I tried to log into my Ignition account today, and it said it has been disabled. I haven't played a single hand of online poker since 2023. I emailed support, but have not heard back yet. Any guesses as to what is going on?

Did you not login for an extended period? All sites have a dormant closings in their terms of service. Anywhere from 3 months to a year of inactivity or no login attempts. Even banks have this

Is the replayer not working for anyone else?

I went a few year period without logging into Bovada and when I finally did, my funds (few hundred bucks) were gone. I emailed them and they restored the money pretty easily.

Thanks for the replies, everybody. Mike Haven, it is good to see you're still around! I know you don't remember me, but we would talk here and there around 2007-2012ish. I hope you're doing well, my friend.

Edit/MH: Who could forget you? Just sent you a PM.

Today in the 82 they didn’t rebalance the tables so the tankers were able to trade chips while we eliminated each other on the other tables.

man this site just allows cheaters to cheat. not only do they seat the last entries at the same table, at least a few of them are either the same person playing on different IP addresses or are sharing cards and trying not to bust each other, we're all ****ed. Bovada/Ignition doesn't give a ****..

Yeah those guys max late reg most days within 1 second of registration cutting off, then they max stall, card share and dump to each other

Ignition isn't going to do shi# because it's Ignition employees/insiders that are colluding (with refreshed 90 second time banks) and stealing several tables worth of min cashes from EVERY MTT that they run around the clock. It doesn't matter if it's a $75 plus 7 or an $11 plus $1 or a $30 plus $3. They rig all MTT's regardless of the buy in.

I went into their online forum on their website and pointed out proof (with forwarded video evidence of the same players getting a new 90 second time bank every hand) of cheating and it got me permanently banned from posting in their forum. I was NOT banned from playing though, but I haven't played in a couple of months and won't ever go back to play there.

these are way worse than "tankers" bro. This is 1 is or 2 people controlling at least 9 "bots." and he registers all 9 bots at the exact same time to get put in chronological order and perhaps an entire table to himself and yes its best to spot them early in tournaments because they card-share and chip dump all the way until the final table. Each tournament im in (the higher buy-ins anyway) I instantly pull up the "bot" table so then I know if I get put at a table with 2 or more of those numbers they will have an advantage. I have seen them chip dump all the way to the final 5 players of a tournament. In an earlier post I posted how to figure out which table is the "bot" table.

Is the site lagging for anyone else? I just got new internet so I'm not sure if its me or them. It's lagging in cash games and tournaments.

Came here to say that. It's been throwing me off. Kicked me out for like 10 mins. couldn't sign on desktop or phone. Back in now for the mopment.

Cashier is down too

The worst is the thousandaire tourneys, it used to be one of my favorite tourneys, now I'm probably going to stay away from it. Towards the end, it is so obvious they try to keep each other alive when they are short but they attack you. I bubbled the other night, I felt there was at least 3 of them working together on my table when there were 14 players left and 10 get paid. I was in good position too, but they kept allowing shortstack to stay alive, so ridiculous, perfect tourney for colluders...

Only two last second max late reggers in the 82 this morning.

At the end of the last level, there were 4 tables with a total of 9 open seats. I think that the colluders decided not to reg because there were so many open seats to be filled at the existing 4 tables before they could get a new table for themselves.

I know it's not breaking news to anybody, but the scale of collusion going on at the Bovada/Ignition $50 and $100 double ups is massive. The accounts colluding aren't even worried about hiding what they are doing. I reported these accounts over a week ago and they are still playing like 10 hours a day. These are two of the most egregious hands I've seen, but I've reported over 10 hands like this.

It's not breaking news.

For over a decade I was a winning player on Bovada/Ignition but in 2020 that all changed. I had 2.6K in my account after my last cashout in 2019 and only recently figured out that Ignition was the culprit that stole my last 2.6k and continues to steal from anyone still playing there. My history here on this forum only goes back 4 pages, but as you said, it's not breaking news.

Side note. If you continue to report the problem to Ignition, they will either ban you from their forums or ban you altogether.

hey, does anyone know how to get an accurate graph of ignition mtts results? also for huds, what is everyone using? is ignition hand grabber (the on connected to pokertracker) or is ignition card catcher better? and my results on ignition via the poker tracker graphs for mtts are wildy innacurate, is it like that for everyone else?
