[Chico Network] BetOnline, Tiger, etc.: Unofficial Discussion Thread
This is the new (as of August 2016) discussion thread for the Chico Network. Decided to put this together since we had a lot of duplicate discussion with different threads.
I've "cheated" this a bit by copying one of my old posts and modifying it as the OP, and I'm going to move all the posts from this year in the BOL & Chico threads over to here.
*
Edit/MH: As there are no Sponsored Forums now, the BOL forum has been closed and locked, basically to be fair to the other sites. However, you can still read some old posts there, at https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/284/b...
Please use this thread for future discussions.
Thank you.
coinpoker and swc they will never ask you for passport bank statement documents etc.

the only problem? very very little action
So betonline requires kyc?
It doesn't happen a lot for me but, at least some of the time, it would have to be BOL. While playing two games, I have had one slow or even disconnect and the other continued fine. The problem game would often correct by itself.
it doesn't seem like it happens to others that I'm playing with. I frequently have it where every 3 rings at various tables will get timed out.
how do you know it's BOL? is there something that tells you network status?

Wish BOL would not have changed a few of these $22s on their schedule to mystery bounty events. Sigh.

When only one game has problems, and another is working fine, it is probably BOL since everything is the same between you and them (wireless, network, etc.). You can check the network status by opening a browser window and try another website. You can try https://radar.weather.gov/ . It is fairly data heavy. If another website is working, it is probably BOL. Although, it is possible for another website to travel a different internet path. If you are using Windows, you can right click the your connection icon and select troubleshoot. I would sit out first (you may loose connection temporarily).
I have it too, playing on TigerGaming, but here's the thing - I only have this lag when playing via mobile hotspot (speed/location doesn't matter, it's something with the nature of the connection) and there's never lag when I switch to router wifi.

I only use router wifi but you notice I said it doesn't happen often.

Something to remember for mobile users. Although 4G can go up to 100Mbps, the average download speed in the USA is 5 to 12 Mbps (1/2 for uploads). 5G can be 10 to 100 times faster, but you may not always be in 5G areas.
My router is just over 200 Mbps. For those who want to check their speed https://www.speedtest.net/?WT.svl=what-y... or https://fast.com/ .
I am going to make a bit of a radical post here but I have thought of a reason to not play at BetOnline. BetOnline has an official poker odds calculator. It is the same thing as Holdem Indicator. Holdem Indicator is shady as hell. If you don't believe me, email him. If your email is even in the slightest bit unflattering to him or his software, he will ignore you. Totally unprofessional. I'm not saying be rude to him but if you question him in any way, he will not reply to you. Holdem indicator is supposed to work on play money games, but I have tried it on Ignition and it does not work. I emailed him and asked him why and he sent me a 24 hour license key. Holdem indicator is advertised to be free on play money games but when you ask him, he gives you a measly 24 hour trial period. If this was a 24 hour period on real money games, that would be one thing but he advertises one thing, and when you ask him what the problem is he gives you something totally different. I then contacted him again telling him that I was not asking for a free 24 hour trial period at real money games but why it does not work for free on play money as advertised. He ignored me at this point. This is totally shady and where I come from, if you are going to be in business, you reply to your customers, even if they are rude sometimes. I have also noticed over the years that people in the business of poker add on software such as odds calculators, tend to be really shady. Is it the gambling aspect of this business? To me, it does not matter what business you are in whether it be gambling, adult entertainment, or recreational marijuana, you treat your customers right. Just because a large section of society looks down on it, you still do right by those who are trying to do right by you, even if they get a little snippy at times.
With that being said, the mere fact that BetOnline will do business with this guy is a legitimate reason for poker players to not do business with them. That is what is right for me. It may not be right for everyone else and that is ok. I will boycott BetOnline and play at Ignition sans calculator. Most of you probably play without an add on calculator and are wondering why someone would care so much about playing with one. It just makes the calculation easier and the game go smoother. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
Are UK players allowed on Chico?
Are the games annonymous?
Depends on the skin, Tiger might accept UK. Betonline i think not
Anon until cards are dealt
Interesting, Just got a deposit to my account and an email…

Thank you for playing at BetOnline!“

What happened to the $109 PKO - $10k that ran every evening? Always met its guarantee.

All sites should make players anonymous until you sit down and play so they can't bum hunt. But I do think all notes taken on each player should be saved and not remain anonymous on future game play.
It's not just the 109s, its a bunch of 55s too.... I would also like to know why as all were regularly meeting guarantees and often doubling them? Probably they are trying to push the -ev mystery bounty thing?
More "improvements", great.. What happened to https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/284/b... Sems like no replies from their reps in a year?

See the first post in this thread.
Anyone experiencing extra long deposit times today? Litecoin deposit, 2h past still not processed despite enough confirmations in blockchain. support said an hour ago it would be there in "a few minutes". Very strange, never experienced anything like this with bol before. Normally withdrawal/deposit very fast
Are NY poker players allowed on BetOnline?
When playing on the browser version how do i have myself seated at the bottom of the screen by default?
