Is anyone else having issues logging in to Bovada today? Every time I try and log in I just get a pop up that says you have been partially disconnected please log in at your convenience. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it is still not working. Of course their support is usually worthless and unhelpful. Any ideas?

Well I called customer service and they said it is a widespread problem and a large number of players are having login issues. They said the problem is on their end and they are working on fixing it. They don't have a time frame for it. That is going to suck for a lot of players since their big Black Diamond Poker Main Event is today..

Yea I am almost to that point as well. They had it up and running for a few minutes but it is back down again.. I am seriously thinking about cashing out and depositing my money somewhere else.. Their software has been absolutely terrible lately and the other numerous issues it's just beginning to become too much.

Having the same issue. I've noticed they've been missing most of their guarantees lately. Probably a combination of good weather and crappy, slow software. While I play, I like to stream Twitch and YouTube for music. Bovada takes up more system resources then these 2 combined. :eek:

Ha ha wow I never knew that!! When I play I usually listen to iTunes and surf the web until I start getting pretty deep in the tournament.. It does seem like since the last update their software has had some major issues like freezing mid tournament or constantly disconnecting.

I've noticed the same issues for several weeks also. Lagging, especially.

Yes!! I love playing at Bovada especially being an American player, but I really wish they would fix the software.

I play Bovada on my ipad playing their mobile App.Zone poker and sometimes cash. It sometimes takes 10 attempts to get on. Sometimes I just give up. I get the same old pop up. It does not matter what network I use. Home or away the same troubles. What's great is when your playing and it just shuts down. The only thing I can compare with it is Carbon. I did not have issues there. Maybe Carbon has their shit together. See you on Bovada in 10 minutes hopefully.

April 27 software update

Is anyone else having major in game issues since the most recent update today? Tables freezing, suddenly being told you're eliminated after software unfreezes? Laggy play options? Difficulty tracking game play?

Already wasn't a huge fan of the update before this one but now it's impossible to even play, not to mention the sudden eliminations. I had one tourney I never even had a chance to see a hand before it froze then eliminated me... Sent them anan ema, we'll see what they say.

Cheers

Often jumps out of their advertising, I want to see "a good video." I was very much angry. Especially enrages the man with advertising that pops into her hands.

The new look and software are horrible. Not only does it lag but there are obvious bots on there. I watched a guy in the $22 buy in bounty knock out people snap calling pre flop with 8-10 offsuit. Flop was 10, 2, K, turn was a 10 and the river of course was an 8. Same guy snap calls my AK suited with Q2 he hits 4 consecutive diamonds to beat me with a flush. I checked the stats and that same donk won the whole tournament. Same issue in an omaha sit and go. Guy was playing horrible hands and that same guy won every single all in he was in. The one time I had AAK2 I couldn't play the hand because their software froze. I call them about to complain and they say it's on my end and nobody else was disconnected. They even were able to see and confirm that I was disconnected. It wasn't until I told them I'd be going to my bank that they offered me the refund. Carbon never has/had issues like this. Random software changes and the system getting worse and worse. I'm staying away from Bovada for awhile.

So I'm curious. Since we are missing details, did this bot call against an all in short stack that he had covered and his hand equity made it a good call given the situation? The Snap calling against your a/k, what was the situation there? I know the call depends on many factors. If he , the bot, was calling and winning every all in , he, the bot, was never all in , only making calls as the hand equity made it a sensible call and worth the risk. Are you insinuating the bot won because he is a bot by playing bad hands? I want to play against that bot. If you are insinuating the bot won because he knows what's coming then that is an entirely different accusation.

so, bovada had another poker update and now it's absolutely unbearable. Low stack with 200 chips goes all in every hand and wins every single hand he is in!! Saw it happen all morning. I called them and offered to play in a sit and go while they watch first hand and of course they refused. I asked how come we can';t have id's instead of just numbers and I was told that 'in the past people would follow people to other tables and harrass them" With no chat option how is this even possible?! I am done with their poker scam which is a shame because they have a great casino and sportsbook. I'l play cards elsewhere.
