The reason you cannot get your money back without first playing a certain amount is that players cannot withdraw without first playing, bonus situation or no bonus: so that player cannot use the site as a bank. Amount you need to play first before you can withdraw may unrelated to any bonus clearing amount.

Yeah, it's fine. I opened a Bovada account one they re opened for poker. Just don't use them at the same time and you'll be fine.

To incentivize deposits.
When the BTC price was in the hundreds before the 2017 run up and the current market we are in now, they used to give you a certain amount of time to guarantee your amount. So, say you wanted to deposit $500, they would tell you to send .12345 btc to their address in the next whatever timeframe. They may have adjusted that now that the price fluctuates so much by the minute. I haven't deposited in a while, so I don't know that current policy

No problem. EndTheFed no longer recommends Blockchain.info. I have been off doing other things, so I have not looked into the alternatives he suggested, but he usually knows his stuff.

Anybody know how they are on their betting limits? The website says there is a limit on all bet. if you make a bet and then the line moves does that mean you have a new limit at the new line?

Yeah, that's still how it's done. They give you a 15 minute countdown to initiate the transaction, during which the exchange rate is locked in.

And yeah, they don't charge extra for bitcoin deposits because they want you to use bitcoin.

With bitcoin you're directly sending money to them, no bank or credit cards involved. So they don't need to pay a 3rd party processor to come up with creative ways of charging your card that your bank will approve of. And when you send bitcoin there's no chance of the transaction being declined for lack of funds or reversed later. There are no chargebacks with bitcoin. Once the transaction is confirmed you can be 100% sure it's legit and final. So they end up saving a lot of money by eliminating that risk.

Those are the same reasons why it's in your interest to get your withdrawal sent via bitcoin rather than a check.

zone hands still cant be downloaded for me.......

Me neither. I just was on the phone with customer service and asked them to reset my zone hand histories. The lady tried 3 times and a few of the hands downloaded but not all of them. On the third attempt, the line was disconnected.
I'm going to try again.

I downloaded all the hands but the client still shows the download button

Yes, my download button still shows as well. I got my HH's reset and I still have problems. CS said no one else has reported the issue so it might be my modem or firewall.

I think you need to buy a new computer. That fixed my problem.

is the Bovada poker room better than igninito or the same thing

same network, different skin

Yesterday I make a "bitcoin" deposit on Bovada using their recommended partner site.

Which I have done several times, and it has always been instant.

When you make these deposits on the "partner site" You don't goto bitcoin wallet or anything, the partner site sends "bitcoin" directly to Bovada, all you do on partner siteis just fill out amount and cc info and click button and it takes you back to bovada and you click that you have made deposit and BOOM money is there.

No instant money this time. I call Bovada they say they see it pending and waiting on confirmations, they tell me to check back later. I'm like cool, guess they changed things, but I have never had to wait more than 10 seconds.

Two hours go by and still no money, I got games to fire on, SO I try another deposit same way and BOOM this deposit goes thru in seconds.

I talk with Bovada and attempt to explain all this they tell me I need to send screen shot of my wallet, I tell them their partner site doesnt do wallets they don't even send confirmation email. Bovada tells me they need screenshot showing I sent the bitcoin, I hangup and call the partner site. They are less help than bovada, the person on phone is another 3rd party and that just explains to people calling that the charges they see are from bitcoin they purchased.

Call Bovada and this person tells me that I need to send a screenshot of bank statement and in 48-72 hours the problem will be resolved. Abd then the @#$% tells me next time send bitcoin it's safer. I lose my mind and tell her your site says to goto partner site to send bitcoin, she says yes but if I want to be safer I should use a wallet.

#$%^

woah! 3rd party cc to bitcoin instantly for bovada deposits??? sounds scammy AF never heard of that as an option before.

try learning how to actually use bitcoin maybe???

yeah still not donwloading HH from zone for me. spoke to support again and they said its a known issue now that has been escalated to tech support but no eta

I know how, but I have used their 3rd party several times no problem, super LOW fees, much cheaper than CB.

learn how to use GDAX instead of CB, lower fees. instant and free transfers GDAX to/from CB.

Replayer, opening tables, adding chips etc really slow for anyone else today?

The site is down for me at the moment I can't get past the live update box when opening the client up (Ignition).

Same here..can't get to site

on now

Bovada has credited my account

I can get past that, but I can't log in.

If you deposit with bitcoin do they force you to withdraw with it?

uninstall/reinstall and I got back in
