I imagine this is what my grandmother thinks about poker. It is cute watching you guy fling poo back and forth, but how much did you win recently?

Can anyone recommend something like Coinbase that will link to my bank account easily?

Check out Gemini.

Don't even know what that means.

I got set up and processed a withdrawal just now. Set up a Coinbase acct and did all the verification to enable crypto transfers (upload ID). I got the unique blockchain address. Is that the same as a buffer wallet?

So now I have a bunch of cash floating around the internet somewhere, and I have no idea what happens next. Do the funds just show up on my Coinbase acct? Do I get a text or email notification that the funds are in my acct or do I have to keep checking for hours until they are in?

My problem with BTC all along has been the price volatility. Right now it looks like that is working in our favor, but I want to cash out as soon as possible. What happens next?

Coinbase and some of the major exchanges don't facilitate transactions from gambling sites and have been able to detect sometimes when transactions come from said sites. This can cause trouble for things like cashouts. So what you should do is use a buffer wallet like blockchain.info or something similar.

Make your cashout line go Ignition > blockchain > coinbase to avoid any issues.

You're going to have to nut-up and just accept bitcoin's volatility. You're gonna lose some at times but other times a withdraw will hit while you were sleeping and you'll wake up with an extra 11% or something.

Generally the bodog network pays out quick enough that it's never really a big issue. Those short term fluctuations probably get reasonably close to even long term.

As for what you do now...yeah you wait. Depends on what kind of alerts your wallet has if you're going to be notified. Ignition usually emails when they process. I would look at venmo and similar things as more "cash floating around the internet" than a bitcoin transaction lol. Bitcoin is just as fast as venmo p2p...it's just a company like ignition requires time to process volumes of withdrawals.

Once you see how easy and convenient btc is compared to everything else and have a few successful transactions you'll be stoked.

Thanks. What about notification? Do the funds just show up in my account? Do I get an email notification from Ignition or Coinbase? Text? Do I have to do anything to receive them?

Looking at the movement today maybe I shouldn't be in such a hurry to sell.

It sounds to me like you withdrew directly from the site to your Coinbase account, is this correct?

If so, cross your fingers and you'll (probably) be fine.

In the future, use a third party wallet (such as blockchain.info as a octopus suggested). Within this personal wallet, you can generate fresh addresses-- the poker site actually suggests using a new address each time you withdraw. By using a wallet between the site and your exchange (Coinbase), you are ensuring anonymity. People tend to believe all crypto transactions are anonymous, but this is not always the case.

To recap, any transaction should either look like this:

Exchange > 3rd party wallet > poker site

or this:

poker site > 3rd party wallet > Exchange

Edit: Also, to address your question, it will show up in your account once the miners have processed the movement. If you have email notifications set up, yes you will get an email.

Anyone else just get an email about ‘vouchers’ seems to be some kind of new P2P transfer thing they’re gonna test with some accounts

Yes, I withdrew directly to Coinbase. Coinbase generated the address, and I assumed I would get a new address for each withdrawal. If I get an additional blockchain.info wallet, would I receive the funds there, transfer them to the coinbase wallet, sell the BTC in Coinbase, and then transfer USD to my bank?

What about my notification question? How do I know when I have funds in BTC? Sorry I am clueless here.

Yup. I think it's to facilitate getting money in for new players.

Don't do this.

Do this instead.

Not sure about coinbase notifications but ignition will email you when the funds are sent and the funds will be there already or shortly after.

It seems instead of taking the funds out of your account when the btc goes through, they are taking it out of your account at request.

went through this with them yesterday. it wasn't removed at request for me, it was roughly ~36 hours after request when my funds were removed. when I checked my wallet and nothing was there (along with no processed email) I waited an additional ~12 hours to contact support. they were no help so I phoned a supervisor. apparently there is a new "tool" (lol) they use and that was the extent of what he apologetically would tell me. I even asked him to just shoot it straight and tell me if they thought they had the bitcoin top and we're planning to make payments, pulled my funds, but it kept going up and he said all he knows is there's a new "tool" for payments... we'll see how this shakes out.

Anyone tested out this new ‘vouchers’ p2p transfer thing?

Having a major issue with BTC withdrawal, haven’t ever been experienced an issue before.

Made a BTC withdrawal yesterday. Was approved around 7:00 and the message said it was transferred and listed the wallet address to which it was sent.

14 hours later, using multiple different blockchain searches, it says a transaction associated w that wallet address doesn’t exist.

The chat help just kept repeating “monitor your wallet. There is a delay in the network , the funds have been sent. “

Has anyone dealt with this before. This is a $6,000 withdrawal and I’m grtting VERY nervous.

I think they're throwing around terms a little loosely. Like they said it's been "approved". They used to say this when the btc was already sent and usually it was in my wallet already.

Now it seems like they mean "approved" like - you're in the queue of outgoing btc withdrawals and yours should show up in the next 48 hours.

You should be fine. I've never heard of anyone getting ****ed my ignition. They'll make it right if theres a mistake. The blockchain network eventually directs transactions back to original sender if there was a recipient address error.

It’s more likely not sent or confirmed on the blockchain. It’s just a matter of you waiting it’s eventually gonna come through as long as your wallet address is correct.

Hey guys, can someone recommend me a site to buy transfer/deposit Crypto/Bitcoin from Australia into Ignition and Americas Cardroom?

Thanks.

Thanks for the information, I experienced a similar process, I preferred it when the funds only left your account balance once it had actually been sent. Lets hope the new 'tool' improves things, I had a nightmare with my last withdrawal and eventually cancelled it and have tried again, support weren't helpful.

Never used or had crypto before but set up a coinbase and blockchain wallet per advice in this thread and hopefully one time didnt **** up the instructions haha. I have deposited and withdrawn mutlipel times in the past via CC and check

Requested 5/21: $5k

hopefully it is a smooth first time.

Received in under 6 hours

I’m a believer

Btcmarkets or Independent Reserve. Both great

So buy Bitcoin from either of these two and then send to Blockchain and from Blockchain to Ignition, is this correct?

Yeah. Buy on the exchange, withdraw to a wallet, eg blockchain or exodus, then send from that wallet to ignition.

Thanks

I have an Ignition account registered to my NY address...I've given them ID and verified my address before (on the phone; after it got flagged for something).

Will I have any issues playing while traveling to Vegas? What about outside the US? What about when I cashout in Nevada or outside the US?

The last time I cashed out from outside the US this (was ~4 years ago, in South Korea) my account on Bovada was frozen until I got back to the US. I don't remember how they verified that I was in the US...I remember calling customer support during a really long layover and then grinding in the airport. This was also Bovada I play on Ignition now. My friend whose from CT also had his account frozen after cashing out from Nevada (from Vegas) until he provided documentation.
