efff the irs imo. what they dont know wont hurt you.

or you can email ignition customer service(poker@ignitioncasino.eu) and just ask "how much have i deposited?" and "how much have i withdrawn?" they should tell you. you can also ask for a spreadsheet with all of your transactions called "historic account entries".

dont forget to include your current balance if you really want to report your total earnings and lose half to taxes =(. gambling winnings shouldn't be taxed individually AND tax the casinos but whatever. The Donald has to finance the wall somehow.

So I recently deposited some money on Ignition through Bitcoin and got the 2K bonus promotion. Unfortunately I didn't realize it was for casino gaming only. Is there a way for me to change the bonus to the poker welcome bonus?

you can call customer service and ask, say if they dont give you a poker bonus you might as well withdraw and deposit on ACR. that might work.

I guarantee you that this line will have zero affect on the chat rep. Might even piss them off.

Hey guys. I just read the last 10 or so pages of this thread and want to confirm that I have this "fee" situation figured out before I make my transaction. This will be my first transfer from Blockchain to Coinbase. It only took Ignition about 4 hours to send $500 to my BC (blockchain) wallet. I now want to transfer from BC to CB.

I clicked on advanced send and BC has the fee set at 0.00054499 Will this be enough to get it through to CB? If not, what should I set it to? And how much money (American) will increasing the fee cost me?

Thank you SO much to anyone that has the time/knowledge to help me out.

When you click advanced it displays the amount of time it estimates it will take. What does it say? Does it show "~10 minutes (1 block)"?

Yes, that is what it says. Am I good to go?

Also, on CB it is telling me that my address was created 9 months ago? There is an option to create a new address. Should I do this?

Thank you for your help.

It's tough to know for sure. The fee needed depends on the size of the transaction in bytes. The fee it's suggesting is higher than a "normal" transaction would need, so I'm guessing that means Ignition sent your withdrawal from multiple addresses... making your transaction larger in bytes.

The network isn't super busy right now though so you should be good.

If you want to be extra sure that it gets there quickly you could bump it up to 0.0006 or so, which is only about 6 cents more.

You could create a new address in your Coinbase but it wouldn't really matter either way. It's still "new" because it hasn't been used yet even if it were created months ago.

Cool. Thanks for the assistance, you are the man. Just put it through and it is now pending on coinbase. Will update.

Took about an hour or so to transfer from BC to Coinbase.

they want to keep your business. dont be such a wimp. and who cares if you piss off a chat rep?? that would be very unprofessional of them to get pissed off and id be surprised if they did.

so no way to go circle to blockchain correct?

also to use gdax which is cheaper just transfer from coinbase to gdax then to blockchain then ignition?

they'll email you all of your transactions if you give them a date range.

BTC cashout requested 2/28 at 2AM, BTC in my blockchain account at 6:05AM

How much was it? I placed mine before you and yours was complete before mine.

So I have sent a small test withdraw from Ignition to the BitPay account I set... I ordered the debit card from Bitpay as well. Is it safe to make a larger cashout directly to Bitpay and then load it to the card or should I use another wallet as a 'middle man'?

Also, would it be possible to cash out from my ignition account to someone else's bitcoin wallet? Wasn't sure how 'anonymous' BTC was... Basically wondering if it can be used as kind of a P2P transfer.

Thank you in advance, very new to this BTC thing.

Correct.

Yes, if you have USD on Coinbase you can transfer it over to GDAX to buy bitcoin, and then withdraw to your wallet, and then deposit to Ignition.

I just recently checked out the Bitpay wallet and it does seem to be a good wallet overall.

The only thing I'm not sure of is what happens when you link your card to your Bitpay wallet. I don't know whether that allows them to see that the transfer to the card was made from your linked Bitpay wallet. If yes, that would be bad because it would remove your plausible deniability. They would know that money went from Ignition to your wallet and then to your card.

I will try to look more in to it and update... but personally until I found out for sure I would withdraw from Ignition to different wallet like Blockchain.info and then send to my Bitpay wallet.

Yes, you could do that. Ignition wouldn't know who the address belongs to, and the other person receiving the bitcoin wouldn't get any info about you.

If it were me I would still withdraw from Ignition to my own wallet, and then send it from my wallet to the other person.

It would only add an extra 10 minutes to the process on average, and it gives me some control in the situation instead of sending from one 3rd party to another 3rd party and just being an observer.

Maybe this is a stupid question then... If I can send to someone else's wallet anonymously how would Bitpay now the funds were coming from Ignition? Do they not get sent from a "wallet" per se?

has anyone withdrew again with bovada within 5 days? Says 1 per 5 days (up to $9,500) with bitcoin. Wanted to withdrawal again within 5 days, just don't want any delays from this. Thanks.

Issue.. Sports betting with Bovada, I won $225, withdrew wth bitcoin, here's my problem..
Okay..
Sweet, that was quick, like two hours!!
Check my wallet, it doesn't drop, check 30 minutes later, nope, 3 hours later I call to check on my withdrawal and a lady answered and assured me it would take 24-48 hours, s I keep pestering around just a little, like 3 emails since he 28th, now I get no response from service@ and I check my account to see this..
Should I be concerned, odd behavior, no?

says 1 per 3 days in my cashier. check again i think you misread.

i mean from a logical standpoint i wouldn't be concerned. unless ignition is insolvent (which is highly unlikely) you will get your money. from the standpoint of any hiccup affecting my money i would be worried. smoke some weed and chillax. havent heard of anyone not getting paid. good luck.

Took 40 minutes for a 600 cashout from ig to blockchain.... Well done Ignition

All bitcoin transactions are public record. You can look up every transaction and see that "Address 123zxy..." sent bitcoin to "Address 187abc...". But you can't tell who owns either of those addresses. That info is not publicly available.

The problem comes up if the exchange (Coinbase, Bitpay, Kraken, etc.) is able to detect that your withdrawal was sent from an address that belongs to Ignition.

That's why you want to have an address in the middle. Even if they were able to figure out an address belonged to Ignition they can't know for sure that the address Ignition sent money to is yours.

Hypothetically if the exchange knew a withdrawal address belonged to Ignition they would see:

Known Ignition address -> Address of an unknown owner -> Your exchange wallet

That gives you some plausible deniability... maybe someone else withdrew from Ignition and then sent bitcoin to your exchange wallet.

I wouldn't be concerned. They might have screwed up the payout, or it could have happened when the bitcoin network was busy and the transaction never confirmed.

Either way, their record with withdrawals is great so I would be pretty confident they will pay.
