[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread

site down again? So great.

weee down again, crushing mtt fields :(

Is the client down for you all? I can’t log in. The web based client is ok, I do prefer the normal client.

Client down and I'm too impatient to wait for the HH, here's one from the daily $82 KO yesterday (sorry for bad screenshots can only use web client). Folds to SB, +3 is sitting out so doesn't open AKo (i.e. that part isn't sketchy). SB waits 20 seconds then limps, BB waits 20 seconds and x QQ, they x down to river with max time able to and QJo jams. SB is player 80 and BB is player 81, it's the group that max late registers to get placed on the same table then tanks as long as possible to try to wait out the players on the other tables. I reported it but am positive the site won't do anything. Totally egregious.

This will always happen with late reg going as long as it does ... sites and their 3 and 4 hour late reg

Good afternoon! I have a question about withdrawing crypto from Bodog to Binance. Which currency and network do you recommend?

Of course People will always late reg, that is not notable on its own. There is a group that does it together so they are seated together and use up their time banks to play as few hands as possible + collude. In this instance I got moved onto their table about 10 before ITM along with +3 in the screenshot.

Up and running yet?

Yes client is working for me today

be honest when's the last time you saw two whales at the same table

It reads like 2 people colluding, but that sort of collusion is different to what is going on with the bots at 1k/2k on iggy. They stopped doing this kind of thing 12 months ago or more. Extreme donk bet strategy is back on the menu though, albeit they've changed it compared to 2024. it's just gross playing at the moment.

Does anybody have any suggestions for me. I was colluded against two weeks ago in a $50 double or nothing touney. I immediately sent them an email and and have not even gotten a response.
Doing a chat to ask what is going on is a waste of time. This is the email I sent that should explain pretty clearly what happened.

I just got done playing Sit N Go 75483523. It was a $50 Double or Nothing tournament. I was player 5. Players 2 & 3 were colluding, although I admit, it's hard to believe they'd make it as obvious as they did, and expect to get away with it. Both players were in situations where the small stack was down to a few chips, and bet that nominal amount and the other player folded, (I think each time they let the time run out.)

On the 15th hand, Hand 51666929748, when blinds were 25/50, Player 2 lost a hand where he went all in Preflop with JJ and was beaten by Player 4's KK and since player 2's stack was a little bigger he still had 236 chips left.
Another player got felted and we became 5 handed. On the very next hand, Hand 5166929909, he ended up at the river with 36 chips left in his stack and went all in. Player 3 ran out of time and folded. Player 2 rose from 236 chips to 461 and Player 3 went from 1432 to 1232. Two hands later, Hand 5166930251, they did it again. Player 2 started with the same 461 chips and was down to 50 when the river was dealt. He bet that 50 and Player 3 folded, running out of time. Player 2 was all of the sudden back in the game with 986 chips and Player 3 was down to 1182.


Late in the tournament. we were 4 handed in hand number 5166932095 it was player 3 with the short stack. He started the hand with 657 chips and bllinds were 75/150. He bet his last 57 on the river and this time it was player 2, who started with 2396 that folded.after running out of time. So player 3 went from 2396 to 1796 and player 2 rose from 657 to 1407. Now I was the small stack with 1191 and 5 hands later I was done and Players 2 and 3 were both winners along with player 4 who had the big stack the whole tournament since it was him that tripled up with the Kings, and did nothing suspicious. I came in 4th.

There is a group of players colluding using the strategies you described. Bovada/ignition are electing to do nothing about it. Link: https://x.com/brianchastings/status/1901...

Thanks for the answer. Even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. Any suggestions on where a US player can play? I've been playing on ignition so long I've never really thought about playing anywhere else. I actually like the anonymous tables. And I got really good at winning DON's. But I'm doing delusional enough to think I can beat a game when there are 2 colluders, and they feel free to not even worry about how blatant and obvious their actions are because they have no fear of consequences.

It is bovada down again?

I was getting black screen when I opened the client. Closed, open it and now is working!

Bovada down again. This is absolutely mother****ing ridiculous. Every mother****ing Friday with this ****. Don't worry, it'll be fixed by Tuesday or Wednesday

Ya we should play on all the other options like WPT (worst software of all time), global poker (same bad browser software), ACR (literally allows their sponsored pros to use decision making software while playing their biggest MTTs), or if you are in a state with "regulated" sites you get ghost towns lols ...

You are a dumbass

There's nowhere else really to play in the USA. I will say from playing the sngs there are a couple players that seem extremely bot like. On every day. Same betting lines. Kinda crazy that an actual human being could play like that. But when the client is down you're screwed if you play multiple tables becaues it's just too difficult to do that on the web version. You can't put up 3-4 tables on the screen at once

I cannot log in into the client but I can login on the site, does anybody have the same issue?

Yes. Same for me. I can login on browser but cannot log in the poker client software for 2 days. Last played Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday morning I just get ‘error’ every attempt. Yesterday I was told server maintenance. Today I was told my account was locked out for too many incorrect login attempts (which didn't make sense since I was still able to login in on website). Anyway, I reset password via the link they gave me, deleted Bovada folders and cache, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and still I can't login.

By the way, this also happened to me on May 11 when I was not able to login for 4 days until the issue finally just resolved on its own. So I presume I just need to wait for them to fix whatever server issue they are having. Definitely annoying and frustrating that they don't send out notifications about anything.

The solution is: before trying to log in, you have to change the language to Spanish and then switch it back to English, and then log in.

I figured it out after two hours...
