[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread

Ignition lagging and disconnecting for anyone else?

yeah same for me, unplayable right now

I haven’t made a deposit in a long time and just noticed I had a nice deposit bonus offer on Bovada..

Did anyone else get this?

I think 100,000 points is equal to about $80 with only a $60 deposit minimum.

Am I missing something, or is this actually a decent bonus offer?

Better than anything I usually get. I'll deposit way more than $60 and they'll give me $15 where I have to bet like $500 to clear.

If you want to deposit but don't have a bonus you can just ask customer service for a bonus. They usually will give you one.

Usually most of the Bovada bonuses are shite.

I’ve been playing on their site for close to 10 years and this is the best bonus they have dropped on me in at least the past 5 years..

The points at Bodog are useless, right? Only for MTT or casino are valid?

I def don't have it, couple free mtt tickets seems pretty decent for Bovada lol

You can exchange for $. I get a whopping $1 for every 1,000 points.

Anytime I do get a bonus I just try to spin it on some parlay in the sportsbook.

You can exchange them for tournament tickets..here are a few options..

Going to deposit tomorrow with the bonus..

At Bodog? Are u sure? I only see to exchange for another casino or sport bonus, but not for cash

Yep but that is a bonus, not cash for Poker.. And that bonus is only for the Casino or I miss something?

It's a damn shame nothing has been done about the bots and collusion. It just got worse and worse, it's incredible how it felt like it happened over night. For years and years you could feel like Neo in the matrix at 2knl just destroying everyone. Now im questioning if I could even beat 500nl for a meaningful winrate. People always talked about the death of online poker as like this could and would happen. I had always laughed at them and thought there would always be money to be made at midstakes. I could never imagine that my ev would go from 500k a year on one site to very likely below 80k this year if I was to work my ass off.

This is the worst case scenario, the 0.000001% run. Rip bonition

Ok I see what you're saying. Yeah when you convert points to $, it typically is only able to be used in the Casino or Sportsbook.

I have had some bonuses that when I convert the points be added to my actual account that I can use in poker games, but I can't withdrawal any until it's cleared.

Can't remember the difference though.

anybody playing 5nl zone? seems the player pool is smaller and dies faster.

A few months ago, I was a consistent winner at 50 NL and a break even player at 100 NL. Now, I have trouble winning at 25 NL. WTF is going in with Bovada Cash?

Bots? Collusion? Bad luck?

25nl is also a bot best and rta regs, been like that for ages. sun runners don't notice it but eventually reality hits for everyone.

Do any of you have experience playing on ignition using starlink or I guess any online poker site in general? My 3mb dsl connection by windstream (in the year of our lord 2024!) is giving us issues, and there is some talk in our house of biting the bullet on starlink. Maybe this is a little offtopic but I really don't have a better place to post this.

The latency on starlink is very good. Maybe not good enough for something like online esports, but it should be totally fine for Bovada and their infinite time banks.

Bot situation still fkd or they cleaned house?

I don't think it has changed in a week.

I just had two(!) broken bots on my last $44 6max table. They auto folded like 99% of their hands for 90 minutes.

Should I report them to the e-mail reps or forum mods? Or don't even waste my time?

Wasting your time, they are not banning anyone nor refunding.

Hello world, my name is Sergey and this is my last contribution to this miserable existence...

I cant take it anymore. I've lost everything dear to me. My wife and son were killed in a horrific accident. This isn't worth it anymore. I can't bear this pain inside of me that is eating me ever since they were gone. I cant keep going without them. This guilt I carry on top of this pain... it's become unbearable. So finally im coming clean.

I've been a poker player for 10 years now. I'm part of a stable of grinders designed to grind out every penny possible out of the beast, the elite benefits program, and every fool that dares step on the virtual felt with us. We call it Variance Free. We've made so much money over the years with our no longer super secret stable. Yes. We cheat. We card share, we collude, we've been sharing data and hand histories well before these pay to win sites started data mining and selling it to the public. We were doing MDA well before it became mainstream. This system allows us to play perfectly against any opponent. We make perfect folds preflop and postflop, we make claivoyant checkbacks with clear value hands that would be bets according to theory, we make "bad" thin value bets according to theory, and loose raises in spots opponents will almost always fold once we know what cards have been folded. During preflop, we play in a way that maximizes our chances of hitting sets, flushes, etc in order to cooler everyone else. By knowing which cards have been folded, we can "speculate" in perfect situations, and can also cold call hands that normally wouldnt, e.g AK, KK and QQ in certain situations where we know certain cards are still in the deck. This is why some players feel like the deck on WPN is fixed because we always cooler everyone like this, so it seems like variance to most- and those who suspect rng fixing and voice it out would never be believed by those that understand variance at a surface level. Maximum exploit is the name of the game. Downswings are not really a thing for us as you can probably deduce by now. But we don't go overboard like some others who don't care and make it too obvious. We carefully craft our moves as to not look suspicious about the collusion and play the cooler hands standardly against each other. Also sprinkle a fair amount of bluffs. That's how we've been able to stay undetected for so long and milking the Beast on Winning Poker Network. Not that they care too much about their security in the first place haha. They allow other stables to make use of bots fairly easily without many issues. Once they figure out which accounts are the bots, they've already worked on more advanced ways to make the future bots go undetected and play more human like. Bots were not our goal, however. We figured that by deploying our Variance Free system we could make 3x more money than by running bots that can't adjust on the fly as we can. It's all about max exploitation.

But no more. I've got nothing else to lose now, and since this is it, i might as well lse it all at this point.

This is the list of some of us who play during the same shift and some I know from other stables: (there are many others but we do different shifts and I haven't met them)

One last thing before i go for good- i don't care if you want to call me a thief, a scum or a piece of ****. I deserve it and will take the shame with me to the grave. But at least I've taken this off my chest and can now rest in pain, but guilt free. Good bye.

…………………….

Cross posting this for everyone here who told me off for saying the bots are exploitative.
And yes I know this is ACR, but it’s pretty obviously the same group on ignition.
