Four days ago, I entered a satellite and won this ticket.


It was entirely my fault for entering the satellite without making sure there was an upcoming $12+1.20 BDPO tournament scheduled..

There were $12+0.60 MTTs... and $10+1 MTTs... and even $12+1.20 satellites to bigger events... and while I tried to use my ticket to enter those satellites, they got cancelled because traffic was low. Every single time.

So I'm sitting on a worthless satellite ticket, which expires at the end of BDPO 15, because Ignition TOOK WAGERS ON TOURNAMENTS THAT DIDN'T EXIST.

I've never had a poker site so willing to tank their own reputation. Their official response on my TrustPilot review says:

  • "Sure, we'll give you tickets to fake BDPO events"
  • "Our Terms and Conditions say we can"
  • "Deal with it"

Which is possibly the most idiotic thing you could attach to YOUR OWN network's annual 150-event tournament.

It's not like I'm asking for my money back because the bots on their site cheated me out of it.

They offered the wager.

I accepted it.

They raked it fairly.

I won the prize.

The prize was worthless.

Just like Ignition.
