Australia - options for Australian Players - Page 10 - Internet Poker

Sigh, just got blocked on TigerGaming. Looks like they're cutting out all of the Aussie players finally. Such a shame too because they'd finally made their MTTs not complete trash.

Did you deposit with a cc? Their support finally got back to me, and they said they would unblock me if i verified my account and used crypto to deposit, so it seems my cc was the issue.

If you check out the Chico thread, you'll see a few Australian players were banned recently.

I've been on Tiger for a couple of years, I use crypto to deposit and my account is verified and I unfortunately recieved the letter Bobo posted.

Not like anyone knows for certain but i find it very unlikely that ignition will pull out too. They specifically timed their entrance to the Australian market because of the new legislation pushing other competitors out. Nothing else has changed in the market here so I feel pretty confident that they will not be going anywhere.

Because the laws are in no way similar, and they are two different countries with different law enforcement.

There are no guarantees, but Ignition has never had an issue with going against the legislative/regulatory grain. And, much more importantly:

No offense to Chico, but Pai Wang Luo Network (Ignition, Bodog, Bovada, Bodog88) is a far more professionally run operation.

Of all the offshore sites serving Aussies and Americans, I can say without any doubt in my mind, that PWL is superior to all of them with regard to professionalism.

Can anyone let me know here or by PM how they deposited on Ignition? I have tried all of my cards a couple of times (credit/debit, visa/mastercard), but none go through. Called the banks, they claim they are not blocking gambling transactions. Ignition previously advised me to try bitcoin instead - I just got around to getting some, but now they are saying you can't deposit bitcoin until you have made a credit card deposit, so I am stuck in a catch-22.

Their advice is to 'rest the card for a bit and try again'...

Do prepaid visas/giftcards or similar work?

Even though they haven't asked me to verify? Seems odd CS wouldn't advise me about that when i discussed the issue with them a couple of times.

So just fill in the CC verification form and send it in?

They never had this specific cc verification form last year when I did it, but seems like the same process. my card kept being rejected until I verified my account.

NAB debit. You will only be verified for that deposit method if you've sent through ID papers though imo. Their support is just a room full of chimpanzees with headsets on.

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?
