So on bitpay, you only have to pay the atm fees which is usually 2-3 dollars and besides the 1% fee and you almost get your money instantly. You can withdraw on an ATM up to 3000, don't ATM's usually have smaller limits, how do you go about getting those types of funds.

For bit pay I can go from block chain to bitpay? Or do I still need to get a wallet?

Blockchain.info is a wallet.

Ignition -> New address in your BC.info wallet -> Bitpay

not sure what the 1% fee is ur talking about.

yes, most atms have limits of 500 or smaller, but u can do multiple transactions per day.

that said, here is what i have found over time to get the most bang for ur buck:


1. apparently the atms u find using the following page will not charge an additional fee when using the bitpay card, so you would only pay the $2 fee to bitpay, not the atm:
https://www.moneypass.com/atm-locator.html

2. u can also go into most banks/credit unions and do a "cash advance" for free (u just pay the same $2 to bitpay) and get 750 at a time. this is better than the atm method, unless u find an atm which doesn't charge a fee and also gives 750 per transaction, in which case it's the same. more info here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...ostcount=22304

3. u can also go into walmart and get "cash back" off of debit cards, up to 1k at a time, for a $3 charge (w/o buying anything). i haven't tried this yet with the bitpay card, but with the a----o debit card, this worked very well, and i was not assessed a fee from a----o. assuming it works the same with bitpay, this is on par with the "cash advance" method.


all three of these methods are different transaction types (although with bitpay they seem to lump atm transactions and cash advance, aka over the counter transactions, together). u should be able to get more out in a day using a combination of these three, in the event that you want to pull out more than 3k.

Thanks for posting this, I'm going to have to get a bitpay card because I was planning just doing igntion > blockchain > exchange site > bank, but this way also seems fairly easy.

Anyone who received bitpay card. How many days did it take to hit your mailbox?

I got mine in about 6 days after I ordered it.

Mine came after 8 business days, so 10 days.

Thank you for your help I really appreciate it

Ignition > block chain > coin base > cleared in bank. Total of 4 days. Pretty damn nice

Thanks. Hopefully mine will arrive this week

So Ignition > BlockChain> Coinbase > Bank

hmmmmm,

Is blockchain just to get rid of paper trail or help hide it?

I still dont understand why you would not go directly to Coinbase?

Because it's against their TOS to have your funds going to or coming from a gambling source.

Anyone have any luck getting withdraw limits increased for bitcoins? Mine is 3k CAD every five days on bodog.eu and was hoping to get it raised. Emailed support and they said there was nothing they could do.

Correct.

And it's just not a good idea in general to send bitcoin from one 3rd party to another 3rd party (from an address you don't control to an address you don't control).

Sending to your own wallet in between will only add an extra 10 minutes on average. Do it every time. Even if transferring from one poker site to another.

It's not worth the potential hassle you might have by skipping it.

hey guys that use kraken, when you change your btc to usd on the exchange or with them, does that mean you can then hold a balance on kraken in USD? thanks

yes

I know I've already seen this asked in here somewhere, but I can't remember the answer and can't find it. Is it necessary to do a bitcoin deposit to Ignition before being able to do a withdrawal via Bitcoin? In other words...my only deposits were via credit card, will I still be able to withdraw via Bitcoin when the time comes? Thanks for any help.

Ignition Casino Stole My Account Funds - Please Help

Since Ignition Casino offers poker, I hope this forum can help me. Even though I didn’t play poker (only blackjack), my situation shows how scummy the Ignition company is. At the very least, my story will serve as a warning for others who play on the Ignition site, both casino and poker.

Cliff’s:

I played blackjack on Ignition regularly from 9/26 til 11/3. I was winning consistently and receiving timely cashouts. Ignition kept sending me promotional emails and upgraded my rewards status to Platinum on 11/1. With Platinum Rewards (50% Bitcoin deposit bonus) I had my biggest win on 11/3. Rather than pay out my big win, Ignition Casino disabled my account on 11/16 to conduct an investigation for “suspicious activity”. During the course of their investigation, I called in twice and was subjected to interrogations during those calls. Per their demands, I submitted 3 utility bills and 4 selfie pictures. Despite answering all of their questions, supplying every piece of documentation they requested no matter how ridiculous, yesterday, I received an email from Ignition stating that they found conclusive evidence of “Bonus Abuse”, permanently disabled my account, and confiscated all of my funds ($12,800).

Full Story:

I started playing on Ignition Casino on 9/26 after reading about their special Bitcoin promotion (100% deposit bonus up to $1,000). That promotion ended a few days later. I continued to play in October after learning about their Rewards Program, where I was a Silver Rewards member at the time. I played enough in October to become a Platinum Rewards member for November.

I made a withdrawal request on 11/3 for $9,500 and this is where things got shady. After not receiving my withdrawal for a full week, I emailed them on 11/10 to get an update.

On 11/10, I received this generic response: Your withdrawal with Reference Number xxxxxxxx, requested on November 3 via Bitcoin for $9,500, is still being reviewed. This takes approximately 48 hours; however, this is just an estimated timeframe and it may take a bit longer than that.

On 11/16 at 2:09 PM, I received the following email message: Your account has been temporarily disabled and under investigation after we found some suspicious activity in your account. We ask that you please contact us at your earliest convenience at 1-855-370-0600.

On 11/16 at 2:18 PM, I received the following email message: Our casino team has reviewed your account and has recognized you as a skilled player who does not need the aid of promotional money in order to win. Your Ignition Casino account will no longer be eligible for promotions and will not accrue reward points; however, we will continue to offer the same level of customer service and fast payouts that you've come to expect. Thank you for choosing Ignition Casino.

On 12/1, I called in to get an update. Ignition asked me to send in a proof of address, a selfie picture holding my ID, and a picture of my ID outside my house and showing the house number.

On 12/1, I emailed the documents per Ignition’s request over the phone. I had recently graduated college and moved a couple of hours away for a new job, so the address on my license was still my college apartment address. I submitted a picture of my license (old address), a selfie holding my license showing my house number (new address), and a screenshot of my electricity bill (new address).

On 12/4, Ignition emailed to ask me to send in:

1. A selfie photo of you holding your ID in front of your house. We request that you let someone else take a picture of you so the house itself and the house number are both visible in the picture.
2. The actual copy of your utility bill as a proof of address (e.g. phone/mobile bill, electricity bill, water bill, gas bill, cable bill etc.). The document should include your name, logo of the issuing company, your current address, recurring charges and the date when it was issued. The document should be up to date.

On 12/8, I emailed the documents per Ignition’s 12/4 request, with my Chase bank statement instead of my electricity bill.

On 12/11, Ignition emailed to ask me to send in:

1. Another copy of your proof of address in a form of utility bill (such as water or electric bill).
2. A picture of yourself holding your ID in front of your old address. Make sure you also capture the house and the house number (282 etc).
3. A picture of yourself holding your ID in front of your new address. You mentioned before that you moved to a new address, so we want you to send a proof for that matter.

I was so fed up at this point since I had to drive 2 hours back to my old address but I had no choice.

On 12/18, I emailed the documents per Ignition’s 12/11 request.

On 12/24, Ignition emailed to ask me to call in again. I was out of the country at the time for the holidays. I called in on 1/9. Ignition told me that they received my documentation and were concluding the investigation.

On 1/19, Ignition emailed me the following:

The investigation into your account has concluded. After a full review of the play in your account, we have found conclusive evidence of Bonus Abuse. As your actions were in violation of our players terms of agreement, your account will now remain permanently disabled, and all funds in your account have been forfeited. Please note that any accounts opened by you, or that are found to be linked to you will also be disabled, and any funds in those accounts will also be seized.

Here are some answers to some questions that may come up:

I played blackjack and blackjack only.
I only used the bonuses and promotions that showed up on my account under the gift box icon.
I used Bitcoin to deposit and withdraw.
I won $21,144.66, not including the $12,800 that’s still owed to me.
I feel it’s hopeless to call them again.

As I mentioned earlier, I recently graduated college so this money means A LOT to me. I would really appreciate any help with getting Ignition to pay me my account balance. This is outright theft by Ignition Casino.

Thanks to everyone in advance for your help and advice!

No, I don't think you need to do a bitcoin deposit anymore to unlock withdrawal. If it's available in your cashier it should work.

Not trying to come across as a d*** OP but in most of these cases something else was going on and the full story isn't being told

There are a handful of ways to abuse the bonus structure and gain an edge via online blackjack (and some of the other casino games.) Also a few ways to do it if you're more technically inclined. Either you went on a massive heater, were abusing the bonus structure in some way, or something else. The last two are against the ToS. I won't outline how it's done on here, but if you were "being creative" your funds are gone. Back when this was Bovada they cracked down on it unless you could fly under the radar

Very dumb question, but I'm having trouble sending funds from Blockchain to coinbase.

Am I supposed to initiate a send from blockchain, or a receive funds from coinbase?

If it's the former, how do I get a wallet address from coinbase to send to from blockchain?

Please help! I'm not thrilled about my funds sitting in an ewallet subject to the fluctuations of the market. I feel like a ****ing moron here.

Very small time sample size, but it seems like action has fallen off a cliff the last week. Anybody else?

On Coinbase there's a menu on the left side of the screen. Click on "Accounts", then "My Wallet", then on the top right will be "Wallet Address".

I don’t think you’re coming across as a dick at all. I’ve already been interrogated by Ignition and I have no problem answering questions here.

I am not technically inclined and don’t know what that’s in reference to.

I don’t see how what I did could possibly be considered “bonus abuse”. I played the bonuses and promotions exactly as they were offered - make a deposit using one of the bonuses in the gift box, open up a blackjack table, and play. I’d usually lose everything, but occasionally I would win big and make a withdrawal. I probably did get very lucky, but it’s also not too hard to win when they are giving me 50 to 100% bonus chips for every deposit.

As far as getting “creative” I think the way I played was about as uncreative as possible. I played the exact same way from the beginning and it wasn’t considered “abuse” until I had my biggest win. If there is a loophole to their bonuses and promotions, I don’t know what it is. Even then, isn’t it unfair for Ignition to be able to unilaterally decide that someone is guilty of “Bonus Abuse” and steal their money? If they know of an issue in their bonus and promotions system, shouldn’t they fix it instead of using it as a “Trump card” (SORRY had to today) to get out of paying players anytime they choose?

Ignition was more than happy to take my deposits when I was losing during the first couple of weeks in October. If I had continued to lose, would they have given me a refund? Is it really acceptable for Ignition to close an account, steal the money, and not provide any evidence or justification as to why?
