What a beautiful country we live in.

ikr

is there any way to get the ignition poker app on iphone? or is there any pokersites that have apps for iphone in australia?

i loved when i had pokerstars on my phone in bed.

Pretty sure that was banned about 8 years ago.

What part of the AU are you in exactly?


Juicy Stakes has the exact same percentage of rakeback (36%) as Intertops, however Tops pays daily and JS pays weekly.


There is no "ignition poker app" per se. It is a web based client. Works on pretty much all devices.

Yeh just figured that last night, not bad on the iPad.
Has ignition got the most activity ?

I am from Melbourne, in the end I just reset my router and I was able to download it. I am with TPG.

I cant wait to play on RIO poker!!!

Seems odd for you to say that in a thread for a country that will be blocked from playing there. Unfortunately us players in the USA are blocked too.

hey, any update on poker rooms we can play?

I haven't heard any news that leads me to believe your options have changed from those listed in the last couple pages of this thread.

Hmm, you could do this, deposit bitcoin into ACR, say 1 bitcoin for 8k today. Then you grind and grind and turn it into 12k in a few weeks and 1 bitcoin is worth 13k. You woulda been better off just sitting on your ass.

Just my opinion, but if I were you and had Bitcoin, I'd play only on a combination of SWC Poker, and nitrogen sports poker room. Since those sites keep your currency in BTC instead of US dollars, and we're pretty clearly in a BTC bull market, you won't lose anything as BTC rises, and all your wins will be in BTC also.

Also there's a huge contingent on Aussies on SWC already. And the chat feature is nice you simple type "btc to aud" in lobby chat to instantly see the exchange rate.

Yeah I'm not really keen to play on these Bitcoin sites at the moment as some of the reviews seem a bit meh and prefer to deposit on a site with more traffic with a smallish bankroll.

I asked in the Ignition thread and this was posted


I replied




Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

See bottom of page for more info re Australian accounts. Beware though, as Coinbase functions as a bank, they will likely honor Australia's legislation. You should move your bitcoin to an intermediary wallet and then poker sites. I use Wavesplatform, super cheap and fast.

You could look into kingsclubpkr.com. The player pool is mostly US live players and it’s not a Chinese app. Chips are denominated in USD and you can play up to 6 tables on laptop/desktop or up to 4 on the mobile client. Stakes range from NL20 to 5/10 w 4 ante. $1.50/$3-$30-$60 fixed limit. Rake is 5% and maxes out at $8 in the 5/10/4 ante games and $5 in the $30/$60 limit. Shorthanded play and smaller stakes have lower rake.

Keep in mind, this is primarily a mix game site, but even now (7am in New York), there are 6 nlhe cash games running w 3+ players. There is also stud, draw, mix (fixed limit and big bet), all the Plo variants, and OFC.

This site has stayed controversy free for the last couple years (unlike a lot of Asian apps, apparently) and the the model is sustainable - partly bc there are so many mix games that run and they are useless to bot or use HUDs, partly bc rake is low, and mostly because the owners/admins are professional players and know what they’re doing.

Your agent is your cashier, so deposits/payouts can be settled however you want. Rakeback is available, as is a referral/sub affiliate program. It is also possible for some agents to create private tables at any stake, if you wanted to create a home game w friends.

What about this? https://www.runitonce.com/chatter/ha...-kingsclubpkr/

Hey otb, welcome to 2p2. Your account is brand new, but regardless of who brings up a possible issue or why, the issue should be addressed if possible.

If you read the thread, there was a HUPLO player who broke even over a 35k sample size, saying, “My intuition that something strange is occurring on the site is mostly based around the fact that these two particular fish aren’t going broke.” It seems as though he is referring to two of his various opponents being able to degen at $5/10 w$4 ante. The best answer I can give is that bc the stakes are capped at this level and plenty of US whales and nosebleed pros alike are on the site, these stakes were probably considered fairly low for the two players he is referring to (but didn’t name for some reason).

I’m not sure how to take your question. If the mild speculation in that post is the worst thing to be said about kingsclubpkr, over a two year period - I’d feel pretty safe playing there. HHs are available.

I think it’s important to attempt to address any possible issues a past or current player believes is important, particularly in matters of game/financial security.

Anyone Aussies have their ACR account un-suspended recently? Im not sure when it happened but i haven't played there in about 18 months and ever since they announced they were pulling out of Aus when I tried to log in i was told my account was suspended. For some reason i opened the software today and downloaded the new update/logged in.. did not get the "account suspended, please contact support" message.. and my account had like $10 in it.. checked transaction history and had received that amount on the 15th of may and was able to sit and play.

Did they announce allowing us to play again? i know some aussies were allowed to keep playing when they pulled out.. i assumed was just highly active players

Hey Guys, can someone please tell me what is the best time of day to play cash games on Ignition and Americas Cardroom from Australia, is the peak traffic for these two sites the same at the same time of the day?

TY

Prime-time even hours during the week are the most likely peak traffic hours for any site that caters to players from the USA. So between 6pm-12am Eastern Time Zone. I think Australia is about 14-15 hours ahead of the Eastern Time Zone.

During the weekend you'll probably find more games scattered throughout the day, but there will still be more games in the evening.

Afternoons and early evenings in the US are probably the peak hours for Sunday because of the tournament lineups and work on Monday.

So that's 8am to 4pm Australian time, have I mixed up the times? onlu asking because I remember some online pros saying when they could play on pokerstars that they used to get up at 4am latest and play to 11am only, as most of the traffic was only till 11am.

To play tourneys on Sundays you needed to be up 1am latest, the millions starting around 5am.

Unless like I said I have mixed up the times and maybe Ignition and ACR are different to pokerstars?

Approximately 8am or 9am until approximately 2pm-3pm in Australia.

You can go to Google and compare the timezone from exactly where you're at to the US Eastern Time Zone(New York). Find out what time it is where you're at when it's 6pm in New York. The next 6 hours after that are your best bet to find peak traffic during the week.

I'm not sure about PokerStars on Sundays since I haven't been able to play there in almost a decade, but that sounds about right since the Sunday MTTs schedule would start earlier than the peak weekday traffic hours here.

Thanks!

Would Ingnition be any different to ACR or they are much the same?

Ignition is anonymous and usually has softer games. They have the most traffic out of all the sites that cater to players in the USA. Their network is known as recreational player friendly. They don't offer many bonuses or rewards for poker grinders. I think their software is terrible, but many people still prefer to play there over the other options for players in the USA.

ACR on the Winning Poker Network is more reg friendly. Games are going to have more ROW regs and typically aren't as soft as the same stakes will be at Ignition. They offer traditional rakeback, more frequent deposit bonuses and have rake race contests. They offer larger MTT guarantees than Ignition. They recently updated their software and they're still working out the bugs. I would hold off until it's more stable before depositing there.

TY

So the answer regarding peak traffic on ACR which you said is 6pm to 12pm EST would also be the same regarding Ignition I assume since basically they would target the same countries or is there a difference?
