Bovada Blocked by Comcast?

We have conversations going on about this so I thought I would start a thread.

Many of us who use Comcast can not get into Bovada - it appears that Comcast has blocked them.

Hopefully it will get straightened out soon!

Here is a link to their twitter:

They are recommending that we update our DNS server by following these directions:

I have not tried it yet.

Looks very complicated to the ordinary person....I'm so bummed out

It seem to work now, but yesterday that's when I was having problem logging in. Why is it working now even though I have comcast?

i had issues last night, but i comcast and since to be working fine. some minor issues with the live sports betting page but that is it. any updates on this would be greatly appreciated

has anyone contacted Comcast?

It still doesn't work for me.

i was able to register and play four Double Ups, now cant register for any more. wont let me sit at a cash game either. quite the bummer, has any one changed their DNS settings and got it to work? i am not really a computer guy and am a bit apprehensive about doing it. i am gonna try to contact comcast

damn now I can't log in again

weird now it works again

I did the DNS thing and it was explained very nicely and was pretty easy and worked amazing! Thanks!

...working fine from here...
but then again I've given up on Comcast's DNS recommendations years ago
..for windows 7 (Other flavors similar) users:

I had A small problem logging in but seems to be sorted out now without any problems.

i had a problem when i woke up, but took the steps need'ed and it works fine now.

Glad it wasn't some kind of conspiracy by the DOJ or something. Saying that, online poker is my life. I'm old and disabled, so without poker to occupy the hours of the days I don't know what I'd do... Hope it never comes to that.

Glad to see people are getting it worked out, I was really hoping it wasn't some decision by Comcast related to this:

I don't know all the ins and outs of this, but it would be very bleak indeed if we had yet another roadblock to playing OLP because ISP's start prohibiting access.

I can get in today

Ok so I've been having these problems for a week or so, disconnects, won't sign in, etc.

Yesterday couldnt get on at all. Wondered if it was getting shut down. Googled it and found that lots of people had this problem last month and there were some fairly complex instructions for how to deal with it. ALL I DID WAS UNINSTALL/REINSTALL MY BOVADA SOFTWARE AND I WAS ABLE TO SIGN IN NO PROBLEM.

I don't doubt that comcast screws with us in various ways. I know that they mess with the quality of my connection if I'm behind on my bill. I don't see why they - not the DOJ but comcast - would take it upon themselves to block bovada when they don't do this for any number of illicit websites.

I don't know why bovada would direct us to perform complicated technical tasks if un/reinstall works, that would normally be the first thing to try, so maybe it won't work for everyone, but we should be careful about stoking hysteria before we get any confirmation about whats going on. As far as i can tell it is just a technical problem, but maybe I'm wrong and things have changed since i signed off around 3AM.
