Australia - options for Australian Players - Page 11 - Internet Poker

So I just went to re-download Ignition on a new PC and when I try the website it says it's blocked. Comes up with:

"Sorry for the inconvenience, but we are currently unable to offer our services in your area."

Anyone know what's going on?

Appears to be working to me.

Yep still getting the error on both my PC and laptop, but I can get onto the site on my phone.

Perhaps my ISP is blocking it?

I had an error message one time and they called me re my VPN, and they asked me not to use it. No problems after that. If you're using a VPN maybe that's it?

Nope, I'm not using a VPN. Still not working. My best guess is my ISP is blocking it.

I live in Queensland and have never had Ignition blocked. Played today. My provider is Optus (I know they suck lol).

Yeah, VPNs aren't necessary and definitely can complicate things. When there is any hint of a DDoS attack, known VPN, proxy servers, countries they don't provide games to, etc get IP locked out of the games.

It is an effective way to mitigate DDoS, but will cause problems for people using any of the above methods.

Well update on the situation. If I hotspot my phone (Telstra) to my PC I can access ignition fine and log in and play no worries. Using my normal internet (Aussie Broadband) I can not access the site or log in to the client at all.

Looks like it's definitely the ISP. Which must be a new thing for them because it was working a couple months ago. Hopefully other ISP's don't start doing this.

Hey Guys,

What's Ignition like for micro PLO these days, is that the best option?

Haven't played online in quite some time.

Cheers

ACR website says

"Australian Market

On August 9th, 2016 the Australian parliament passed the Interactive Gambling Amendment Bill, effectively banning all online gambling sites that are not locally licensed under Australian State or Territory law.

For this reason, The Winning Poker Network does not allow customers from Australia to play at any of our existing poker sites (Americas Cardroom, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, True Poker, Poker King)."
