There a minimum of 2 bots/cheaters/colluders on every table. Some people who have looked into this have concluded that about 50% of the player pool are bots. I remember a little while back when Ignition implemented the website log in, most of the action died mysteriously and there were no players at all. Just scroll back a few pages and you will see it. The bots were temporari

This is very standard bots across all ACR, ignition, winmax, GG, ipoker etc. The only difference here is that you can actually see the hole cards, otherwise they would just look like aggro fish.


The max late regging MTT bots are back. Only difference is they get randomly seated instead of 8-9 getting seated together.

I've currently got 4 at one of my tables just after late reg has ended. It's a very mild improvement to how bad it was before.


Did they at least send your money back?


Tournament lobbies need to be more clear about late reg:

"Late reg ends at level 20" is not the same as "Late reg ends at the end of level 20 - which is actually how it should be worded

What is with their MTT schedule these days? The just lowered Gtd for a bunch of weekdays MTTs and now the $109 & $11 big Gtd Sunday MTTs are gone?

It's not just "these days."
The guarantees have gone down, down, down, down for the last few years and a lot of them are half the size they once were. It got a lot worse this past few months --- the same tournaments where the guarantee crept down from $15k to $12k to $10k over the last year or two have dropped to 7k or 5k since the big late registration redo. They have gotten really aggressive about shrinking the guarantees immediately after they get caught paying out on one.

The big late night and weekend games have done OK. But it's one game here and one game there that folds... once a game starts losing regulars, it goes into an erratic phase where half the time it fails to get the necessary number of players to open the first table at the starting time, then gets cut permanently because the late-registerers quit looking for it.

I have been lazy about updating it but keep a spreadsheet listing the times late reg closes for each game I'm interested in, so I can plan my evening 'work schedule' accordingly. I've not had to add a new tournament to it since the Mystery Bounty games were created. I delete one or two every month.


I have been unable to login for 4 days now on Ignition (from Australia if it matters)
Instead of the new login interface where it gives me the option to login via browser I have been seeing the old login interface upon starting the client again. After trying to login I get met with the message "error" after a few seconds of loading. I tried restarting, all kinds of combinations of opening and closing software like Poktertracker and Jurojin, deleting the cache of the poker client and contacting support for help but nothing has worked. Did anyone experience the same issue and figure out how to fix it?


It's been confirmed $$$monayyy is the best player on Iggy had to be banned his millions will need to find a new home if anyone will take him

Try using Revo uninstaller to delete most of the remaining files and reboot. There's one other folder that Revo doesn't find, delete this manually

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\bodog-io-poker

It seems like you're using an older version of the poker client. Did you try downloading and installing the most recent version?


Planning to move to Vietnam next year. Is Bodog/Bovada/Ignition available? If not, is there any asian countries I could play from?

bodog exited the asian market years ago. However they do allow you to travel and play. Should contact them first

Yeah its been wild watching the crazy 8s go from 18k down to 8k and the lucky 7s go from 7k to 2.7k seems the nightly 50 is the only one holding its ground not a big fan of the mystery bounties


I love the speed of Zone poker - but after playing some other sites recently - I realize just how bad games are there. Whether that's bots, bad luck, or back end shenanigans - Bovada is a case study in what happens when companies are allowed to run without any regulation / oversight imo.

They made the structures awful. Everything takes too long and when you do finally get to the end nobody has any chips.


Is there any fix to the login issue, every morning I have to uninstall and reinstall just to play on the site. At this point Im more likely to stop playing on this site from this frustrating bug more than the bots and colluders in circulation.
Also why did they remove the download all hands option? do we seriously have to download each hand history individually now??

I just click 'go back and try again' a couple times and go through the whole process and it eventually lets me in. Same with 'click here to go to web client'. Never had to reinstall, only click a bunch of times both of those.

This is what I do as well and it often works on the 2nd or 3rd try. Unbelievable how bad the software experience is.

Ok good to know. I was planning on splitting my time between Vietnam and Cambodia, maybe it will work. Thx

Same here. I have to do the reinstall every time, then hold my tongue in the right direction and hope for the best.

Lol at still playing there under those circumstances.

Some of us will put up with the bad software. Why do you think that is?


by Chip Wynn m

Because its highly profitable overall to play there for some i guess.
