[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread

Are other players able to join all games EXCEPT the format they want to play? (desktop client)

Bodog has clearly issue since I get unreal various bugs:
- client sometimes prompts for user and psw (like some weeks ago)
- sometimes the bodog.com site doesn't load it
- sometimes when I am able to log in I get the msg that my request cannot be fulfilled
- my balance is 0 while I have more

Hi I can't download any hand history files or even view them. I just get the error "Connection to the server cannot be established at the moment. Please try again later". I'm on windows

I did what was suggested earlier in this thread. I deleted the "poker-client-electron-common" folder and the "ignitioncasino-eu-poker" folder.

There are no other folders in the appdata folder for my username. There is no Bovada folder as there were in the posts back from 2019.

I also tried a fresh install

I think I maybe know what caused it, closing the client while it was still retrieving the hand histories. It was taking forever so i tried to restart the client.

I tried chatting with Ignition support but they were telling me to use Chrome as the default browser which seems entirely unrelated then we became disconnected. Should i continue down this path with them or format my hard drive lol

You will never convince me that Bovada doesn't have house bots working for their site to claw back these prize pools.

This hand tonight summarizes every single money bubble shove or every single final table bubble shove I make. Some ape jams for a laughable amount of chips and always--and I mean 100% of the time--runs cards like this to win the hand as if the outcome is predetermined. Runner runner flush, runner runner straight, runner runner live card to make trips, runner runner two pair--it is 100% of the time. Always for a first place stack, always for big money implications, always asinine.

This site is completely and utterly ****ed, and if you still play on it because "oh, they shuffle the seats now!!!", then so are you.

The way I always download mine was to click "download all" and give it a few minutes then start toggling between the MTT or SNG at the top and watch in the folder for the files to appear. My MTTs would only screw up the duplicate ones showing 1kb file size as those were rebuy duplicates of the same tourney. My original buy in file would save fine. I never risk closing the client until all hand files were downloaded as one of them is going to get screwed up and show 1kb file size with an error message inside the text file.

Ignition only holds one week of all hand histories so if don't get them by then they are gone forever. You can e-mail support or ask the ignition forum mods to "reset" your download hand history and that would allow the software to let you redownload the ones that you already tried to download over the last week.

Three days for me too. But I use the desktop client not the website.

The 99% load is an old bug that comes up once in a while. it will eventually go away

Is cash game traffic down or is the client just wonky with table distribution since the last few updates? I used to be able to get 4 tables of PLO at my chosen stakes just about every night of the week; now I get 2 full tables and spend a good chunk of time navigating multiple half full tables and/or games breaking constantly.
There's also regularly times now where I'll be sitting at an empty table for 5 minutes plus and then it suddenly drops me in to a half full table that has clearly been running for some time ¯\_(ツ😉_/¯

Thank you both for the information. Now I don't have to waste my time trying to fix something on my end. 😀

did all this and still can't download HHs. anyone found a solution?

Anyone else getting this?

Not now but I constantly get small errors, glitches, bugs. Have to close and reopen the client several times for HUDs to pop up, sometimes a table will close and re-open itself again and a huge ETC of bs. I just assume now this is the perpetual state of Bodog and there's nothing that will change it, is just a shitty piece of software and playing on there means accepting that.

Yes getting this also. I'm stuck in a perpetual update loop, the only way I can login is to re-install, then it forces me to update, at which point I get a login error. Shambles.

Yep, I've noticed this as well in regular cash games. I'm assuming it's less traffic for some reason. I'm on Iggy.

I can't download HHs. It's been about 4 days. I went through troubleshooting and support is supposedly "escalating" so we'll see if they respond.
I'll click the "Download Available" or the "Download All" button and it will tell me "Download Requested" but then just sit there and never download the HHs. I've done the troubleshooting shooting steps outlined above too.

I'm having that same problem with downloading HH that you just described.

I play NL .5-1 and 1-2 full ring, it used to be very easy to get 4 tables going by 730pm and now
its a struggle to get 3 tables going. After the last update is when the traffic def started to go down
for me.

Same here.

yea same

The desktop client defaults to my my preferred game and stakes even after an uninstall* and fresh reinstall. That's unexpected, right? I think that means the uninstall isn't actually uninstalling everything. Whatever preferences it is leaving behind may be the culprit that is stalling our game window at 99%?

*uninstall procedure was to run the unins000.exe file in the ignition program folder, then manually trash the left over folder along with any residual files within the folder.

Is there a rep who can help me recover my balance? I’m a break even (at best) small stakes PLO player who was disabled in feb. No explanation. CS in chat doesn’t help. I just want my balance back. Anyone please assist???

Sorry. No rep here.

DEF collusion and team play going on on these 1kaire bubbles. its gross. when you see limping its a sign, these guys are taking all the spots on these 1kaire close to bubble. they like vpip in spots they wouldnt just to block the non team players behind from shoving and getting spots. just nothing organic about how these bubbles playing out.

Anybody find low traffic (way lower than it used to be) in 10NL, 25NL, 50NL?

I posted about this, i seen the hand history and there was a flush being folded to the shortstack. Limp, check, check, short goes allin on river, other person folds. I reported the hand history, they did nothing about it. These 1kaires are so profitable for colluders, I stopped playing it 2 months ago, it used to be one of my favorite tourneys, but the collusion is a blatant. I had 4 cheaters at my 7 handed table, 14 players left and 9 wins 1k each.. when I'm in the pot, 2 or 3 of them enters the pot against me.. These used to sometimes not meet the required players, but for months straight, it starts EVERYTIME, twice a day.. These/This cheater is living the good life right now, imagine winning $5k+ a day just by cheating in these 1kaires, i'm so jealous, maybe i need to create 4 accounts and play those only also, team vs team competition
