He said the "plans are in motion" for VIP points on 8/10 and has completely ignored the issue since.

Hey Guys,

As soon as I hear anything so will you, I recently sent all of the suggestions on the 2plus2 forum to the poker team regarding the points system. So hoping like you guys a final decision is made asap.

We have been a little slower than we would have liked, as we have been working really hard on getting the new tournament schedule ready.

Kind Regards

Mike

Thanks for the update Mike. I think most people are just upset that you guys took away the ability to use the points to enter the different tournaments in the meantime. It seems like something that should have been left as is until the new uses were closer to being implemented. The extended wait and the lack of communication about the transition to the new uses has been a bit frustrating.

I've played fewer tourneys since the VIP point buyin option has been removed. I only play PLO cash games during the week but with VIP points I would always buy into the Sunday Main, and since I was playing that, I would often add a few other tourneys as well(Warmup/Mini Main/2nd Chance). When you account for rebuys and add-ons, thats quite a bit of action that I'd be incentivized to give on a weekly basis. Without the VIP points to get in the first time, its a much less appetizing proposition and I've skipped most tourneys. I imagine a lot of cash regs(especially PLO) feel the same as I do.

Sam's thoughts exactly mirror mine. I'm also a PLO cash reg who dabbled a bit in MTTs solely b/c of the VIP point incentive, but I haven't played a single MTT since the points option went away.

Points taken and I have already mentioned this to the team.
I know and understand that the communication was not good enough.
I can only apologise for this, and tell you that every time I hear any news or information I will always post it straight away.

Kind Regards

Keeps me from considering you folks over WPN as next site, even with streamer and 10nl Boost (which is my fave starting point). 10nl Zone not available on Ignition yet, but tourney tickets are, and just got an appreciation ticket for 20+2 (no points involved) from ignition. Come on guys, compete for disgruntled WPN/ACR members. I can even deal with using an add on hud for pt4.

any reload match promotions? Ive been offered those in the past and am looking to make a deposit soon after a while away from the site
09-23-2019 , 06:57 AM
I don't believe there's any reload bonuses available right now that you could clear by playing poker, but you could contact support to ask. They usually do offer other reload bonuses that can be cleared with sports betting or in the casino, if that's your kind of thing.

Is there anyway to confirm when prizes from the weekly rake race are credited? I don't see anything from the transaction history page on the website.

A new race starts every Sunday at 8:01pm ET. I'm not sure exactly when they credit you for your placement in the race, but I know they usually send out an email on Monday telling you where you placed. I assume they credit your account on Monday too. I'm not sure if they indicate it on the transaction page at all.

Can we have an update on when the VIP point redemption system will be ready? Pretty tilting to look at a massive balance of unusable points.

Don't worry BetOnlineMike, I got this... ahem, very very extremely soon.

After I had logged off of BOL earlier and moved to another site to take some hands, I got a phone call on my cell by someone claiming to be "Ron" from BOL. He was offering a 100% deposit bonus, saying it was a special "over the phone only" bonus. I said I can't do it at the moment and he agreed to call me back in the morning.

What happened here? Is this a legit contact from BOL or some kind of a scam going around?

I get calls from a nevada number every couple weeks, the one time I picked up it was a the same idea. Dunno if it is a scam, but def the only time a poker site has ever tried to call me frequently. I just ignore.
10-07-2019 , 09:14 PM
It's legit, but I think it only applies to sports betting and possibly the casino. You'd have to confirm that with the representative who is calling though.

How is points for the leaderboards calculated? Saw at some site that 0.01$ in rake is 1 point but doesnt seem correct looking at the points in the top of the leaderboards, anyone knows?
10-22-2019 , 01:02 AM
That is the way the site says it is calculated for the cash game leaderboard. Scroll down the link below to find the terms & conditions near the bottom of the page.

Somehow did not see that this week's special mission only allowed for 3 days to complete as opposed to the 7 days the first 2 weeks allowed. I should of noticed, completed week 1 and 2. I enjoyed this promo overall, played more game formats than I normally would.
Anyone miss out on completing this week's mission?
11-02-2019 , 06:43 PM
Hi everybody, hope you are all well.

I’ve worked on a few proposals with the poker team and I’d like to hear your thoughts on the following:

$100,000 GTD tournament ($109 buy-in end of November): in recent surveys our players stated that they wanted us to invest more in tournaments series, bigger events and missions/challenges that seem to be quite popular nowadays. I just want you all to know that we are currently working on this and the upcoming event is only the beginning.

Points only 100-Seater to the $100,000 GTD: we want all of you to be part of this event and this month you guys will have the chance to enter this special mega satellite with your VIP Points. It’s a great chance to spend your points and secure your $109 seat.

VIP Points and VIP Levels: at this point I can give you guys a bit of info with regards to a more robust plan for your VIP points. At this stage you are more than welcome to pitch in with ideas and hopefully we can turn those around to deliver a program that makes you happy. At the end of the day, that’s what we are trying to accomplish. So, in theory our goal is to give you guys the chance to participate in weekly rewards (based on your VIP level).

Also we are considering exclusive weekly tournaments for each of the tiers and you will be able to exchange your points into those. There’s also bonus offers by VIP level and other gimmicky stuff in the pipeline that we are confident to deliver soon. Until then we will continue to bring you ways to use your points.


PLO Weekends: we added a significant amount of PLO tourneys to our weekend schedule. Check these out in November and let me know any feedback you might have.
As always feel free to message me with any suggestions or feedback.


Kind Regards

Mike
11-19-2019 , 10:33 PM
Mike,
If you win multiple sattys to the 100k, how does that work in relation to the 2nd, 3rd, etc. ticket? 1. Are you able to use the other tickets for a rebuy 2. Do you get T$ for unused tickets? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Has anyone ever heard of this before? I don't bet sports at all, I just play poker. But, I received an email saying I had a free $25 bet on BOL sportsbook. I read the terms and condition and it states there is a 6x rollover requirement...which I interpret as any money won will need to be bet 6x the amount of the free bet to be released. Is this a reasonable interpretation? The only other experience I have with free bets and rollover requirements is on Ignition and this is how it is done there. On Ignition, if I lose the free bet, the rollover requirement is no longer active...

Anyways, I place the free bet and I lose. Today, I go to cashout and it states that I must clear the rollover requirement. I have $0 in my account from any bonus or that was won due to any bonus in the sportsbook. I only have money from poker in my account. However, they are making me bet $150 on sports just to cashout. So basically, they give me a free bet so I would be forced to bet $150 afterwards. Seems scammy and super petty to me. Anyone else think so?

It's obviously not a big deal and I will just lose a little juice, but on principle alone it feels dirty.
11-26-2019 , 11:41 AM
Standard. If it's a deposit bonus free play you'd need to wager Deposit amount+Free Play times the rollover amount too whether you win the free bet/play or not.

Ignition doesn't have sports betting so I'm guessing you were talking about a casino free play that works differently.
