Ok, now i have been playing now ignition, before bovada, and at one-time bodog (at least when still available in the US) for over 10 yrs (predoom of US poker) - And.... there is DEF something shady going on at ignition... I play hundreds of hands a day , maybe over a thousand, and i also play live, but since bovada (now ignition) went anonymous, the math doesn't make sense, one-outers 90% of the time, and people playing like they can see your cards. i'm done...

Its always frustrating when a poker site makes changes and those changes also seem to change the whole feel of the site and the way poker is played. It is enough to make you feel suspicious, but hey, you made the right move for you and moved elsewhere.

Good luck with wherever you end up.

I second that! I used to play on Ignition about 2 years ago when they rolled everyone over from Bovada. The games were pretty much straight up and gameplay was about what you'd expect based on the stakes. I decided to jump back into Ignition about a month ago and it really does seem like my opponents are sitting right behind me looking over my shoulder. I mean, even the MICRO STAKES rooms play like high stakes pros. Doesn't make sense at all.

Guys all these sites that let Americans play and the others as well. If they dont give the bad players there 3 outers or less at a higher rate then live then they would lose ALOT of business. I play alot of live and you just dont see these 1 to 3 outers as common like they are online. 100 hands is 100 hands 500 is 500 and it doesnt matter how fast you get there.

check out ignition's customer service:

This was a conversation AFTER a previous 2 hr chat.... all due to a stupid $2 jackpot ! but , if they won't fix a $2 problem on their end, i will not trust them with one dollar, or five thousand more! - i pulled all of my money out after this (still waiting on the bitcoin cash withdrawal, as expected from them). enjoy: as i said, this is PART 2 the first was lost.


1:09:33Rob
You've joined the chat.

11:16:01Carrie B.
joined the chat.

11:16:01Carrie B.
Thanks for contacting Customer Service. What can I do for you today?

11:16:05Rob
The last chat i was on was closed by the CS agent (i hope accidentally)... i was charged for a jackpot that never loaded... it is still open saying that if i close it i will be refunded, but the page won't close. this is the second time this has happened, but if i am playing other tables i don't see how it can be a connection issue on my end. please advise

11:16:30Rob

11:16:38Carrie B.
I'd be happy to look into that for you. First I'll need to verify your account. Please provide your 4 digit pin and your date of birth.

11:16:53Rob
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&&*&

11:17:29Carrie B.
Thank you for verifying your identity.

11:17:34Carrie B.
Can you please hold for 1-2 minutes while I look into this for you?

11:17:56Rob
she said because i was issued a refund for the same problem yesterday, i couldn't get another one now... but, i don't have a connection problem and was playing another jackpot when this table never loaded... this should be obvious... thanks for your help

11:18:03Rob
yes, thank you

11:18:55Carrie B.
What device are you using to access your tournaments?

11:19:18Rob
dell laptop, using win 10

11:19:45Rob
but if i am also playing other tables... how can i be losing connection.... you know?

11:20:21Rob
the table just never loads as if other players haven't joined the jackpot

11:20:45Rob
if the game never even starts... how can i be charged?

11:21:06Carrie B.
Are you using the poker lobby or playing through a browser?

11:21:14Rob
poker lobby

11:22:33Carrie B.
I would recommend doing some troubleshooting steps. Try clearing the cache and cookies for the poker lobby.

11:22:39Carrie B.
Close your poker client.
Then go to your file explorer, Go to C:/Users/Your_user/AppData/Roaming
If you're unable to see the AppData folder, you may need to enable your hidden items.
In your File Explorer select view and place a tick in the HiddenItems box.
Locate the AppData/Roaming folder
Locate the ignitioncasino-eu-poker and delete it.
Then reopen the client and login.

11:24:04Carrie B.
I also see that you use your card to make your deposits. Have you ever thought of using bitcoin? It's cheaper and more guaranteed. Bitcoin is always free on our end, you may just receive a 1% or 2% fee from the bitcoin wallet which is a lot cheaper than the 5.9% fee on card deposits. It's also the fastest way of getting your withdrawal funds, as it takes approximately 15 minutes to receive funds after being reviewed and approved by the Financial team.

11:25:13Rob
ok i will do that.. but if i finish playing a tournament, and then start another one that doesn't load, which you should be able to see, why am i being charged for the game that didn't load.. especially when i am looking at a screen still that says if you close you will be refunded, but will not close

11:25:52Rob
yes, i am actually waiting on a bitcoin cash withdrawal right now as well... it is the 3rd day

11:26:40Carrie B.
We have reviewed and you were the only one affected. The issue seems to be with the device you're using. I would recommend doing the troubleshooting steps to have the issue resolved before entering another tournament.

11:27:37Rob
i did that yesteday! and then entered another tournament successfully today, but then the second one never loaded... do you see what i am saying?

11:27:44Carrie B.
Your withdrawal is in the review stages. Itr was submitted on the 26th and usually takes approximately 24-48 hours to be reviewed. Monitor your bitcoin cash wallet periodically for updates.

11:29:41Carrie B.
If you're still having issues while playing from the poker lobby, you can access your tournaments by logging in through google chrome browser and accessing your tournaments. I would also recommend clearing your browser history and cache and cookies as often as possible.

11:29:43Rob
i never even got to the "jackpot"screen that displays the prize... why would i be charged?

11:30:44Rob
if i am not connected why is it deducting from my balance?

11:30:54Rob
it should just not open

11:30:54Carrie B.
You may need to try using the browser or using another device. We have checked on pour end and we're not having any technical issues and no other player was affected.

11:31:20Rob
can you see that i never entered the game?

11:31:51Rob
can you see that i am still looking at the screen telling me that i am entitled to a refund if i close, but cannot close?

11:31:57Carrie B.
I see you had disconnection issues on that tournament but we can also confirm that it was not an issue on our end.

11:32:50Rob
if i had a connection issue i shouldn't have been charged, since the "jackpot slot machine" was never even engaged as i was still waiting for other players to enter

11:33:29Rob
all that happened was this...

11:33:43Carrie B.
You had the issue after you registered for the tournament.

11:34:19Rob
but before other players entered, and before there was even a jackpot amount... just please look at my screenshot, it is obvious

11:35:18Rob
my seat isn't even taken

11:35:48Rob
Screenshot (22).png

11:36:03Carrie B.
I have reviewed all the necessary information and we can confirm that you're the only one who had any sort of connection issues. It was definitely not an issue on our and i would recommend trying the troubleshooting steps mentioned.

11:36:30Rob
then why does it say i will be refunded?

11:38:10Carrie B.
Can you please hold for 1-2 minutes while I look into this for you?

11:39:42Rob
please give me an 800 number to call, or transfer me to a supervisor... i totally understand that it is on me if i lose a connection DURING tournament... but it NEVER loaded, If you look at my screenshot you will see what i am saying. \\\\\\\\ yes i can... thank you

11:40:53Carrie B.
If you wish to dispute further you can contact us at 1-855-370-0600 at your earliest convenience.

11:41:22Rob
i will take a ticket to another jackpot, just anything to play the game i wanted to!

11:42:04Carrie B.
We're uanble to issue a refund compensation as you've already received an exception yesterday

-------------------------------------------------
here is the screenshot that shows not only did no other player join, but even i wasn't seated at the table! :dong:

I was having the exact issue with the jackpots. I also had issues with Knockout tournaments and they would refuse to refund me. I ended up disputing it with my bank and haven't given them another penny. Bovada's customer service is horrible (they are the same as Ignition. pokerstars and Sportsbook are a million times better. I've never seen service as bad as Bovada/Ignition in all my life. They will give the same excuse "nobody else was effected" well the wait time is over an hr and I am sure it's because others are being effected. I stopped using them months ago and couldn't be happier.

Bovada/Ignition is absolutely the worst. You are lucky if you get into the tournament with freezing or issue. Then you get there and everyone is just a number, no real way to track the history of a player over a variety of tournaments, and if that isn't bad enough you have no chat option! They say that people abused the chat. Well they also had an option to turn chat off, if someone didn't like chat they didn't need to have it on yet Bovada removed it entirely. Very fishy. I left the site and recommend anyone else with ANY other option do the same.

SwC poker...Seals with Clubs...is a bitcoin only site. I play there and do reasonably well in both tourney and cash games.
Support is 110%
Cashouts within 24 hours
Totally anonymous...no personal info required..none at all...just an email address
You have a the same table name every day
Unregulated...i am pretty sure...but it might be
Small player pool...but good action
Honest RNG

i recommend it to you

Seals With Clubs.......I am so bummed...LOL....I played there for a couple of days back in 2010 and cashed in a couple of games. I go to my bank account and it said I was in some weird thing called Bitcoin. At the time a whole bit coin was only worth a couple of bucks. I had (2) of them. Anyway, I was like what the hell is bitcoin, screw this site.
Fast forward to a few years ago and I tried to find my old account and it is gone.
I AM AN IDIOT>>>>LOL
