ok 5 minutes of play, and 3 table disconnect / reconnects, freezing money on all tables, and one 59% load glitch. I suppose I will do something else with my time tonight lol

Not true. I'm 2% through the bonus already. You don't have to lose anything to unlock this bonus. They're giving away a free $750 basically.

Pile, pile, pile!!!!

Poker clears this bonus!!!!!

tourneys, sitngos and limited cash.. all poker.. mid+ stakes (not big cash games)

The lobby shows 'We re sorry but bodog is not available in your country'. Well thats a first. Now the software wont even load, its like black screen then shuts down.

I assume you're in the country you normally play from. Do you have a VPN you mistakenly left on perhaps?

This is my third time having a blind stolen from me in recent weeks. I sit down at a cash table—planning to wait for the blinds before playing. Then Ignition takes a big blind and deals me in one hand. Then I am dealt out the next few hands waiting for the blinds.
How many others here have been having this experience?

Thank you so much for the insight, guys. This is why I am a casual/recreational player, and not a professional. I am not thinking on the same level as you guys are. Again, I really appreciate the helpful responses.

Yep, happens once every couple of sessions to me.

I've had it happen, but I've also had the very opposite happen. I've joined a brand new table, not post a blind, and be dealt in.

that only happens when you join a completely fresh table and its the first hand dealt.

Is this at regular tables or Zone? I've had this happen to me once or twice on Zone (when I'm starting fresh), but never on regular tables.

I did post a message in their forum:
https://community.bovada.lv/t/postin...not-to/80690/4

I brought the problem of the forced blind to the attention of Ignition. They did not accept responsibility and said there probably was a missclick!
The problem is its software. Losing a blind and there is frustrating and they add up over the course of the year. It is just another manifestation of a second-rate poker room.
On a more positive note, my tables have not been lagging much lately.

yeah I brought it up 2-3 times before to customer support. But they are useless. I **FEEL** that their forum does better in terms of fixing issues.

I had contacted the forum guy. Yeah, I guess he is better than the regular employees at Ignition, but that is not saying much!

Yes my blinds are constantly being stolen like this. I just assumed its intentional from the site.

The site will often tell me my balance is insufficient and wont allow me to join any tables. This is always during my session after I have already joined tables.
Also just now the site abrubtly closed down all my tables telling me there was no connection but there was.
Im also having alot of connection dropouts on tables while my internet is running fine.

Does anyone else have these problems or could the problem be from my end?

Had it happen to me the first time yesterday during my session, spoke to customer support and they mentioned trouble shooting tips but just decided to force close it on my computer & re open app and it was fine after that

I love the days where i can click rebuy 50x and nothing happens or when the table completely freezes and comes back and you're sitting out like 3 hands later

Client just crashed. =(

Same. Back in tho

I just activated the "Bitcoin 75% Match Up to $750" Bonus as well. I saw a couple of other guys had the same bonus, and I was pretty excited to finally get some kind of rakeback from the site. However, I do have some questions that I would appreciate if someone here could answer since the Ignition Support Chat was of no help.

I already played a couple of hands and, according to my Pokertracker, generated ~$9 of rake. Since $1 of rake should get you 15 Ignition Miles, I should be at 95 points right now. When I go to the Bonus, it states that I need to get to 3330.60 points in Poker to clear the Bonus. This means that the Playthrough Progress should be at 3% now. Unfortunately, it is stuck at 0% though. Does anyone know if their client is just slow and will update eventually or is there something I am missing with the Bonus?

Someone mentioned that the Playthrough Progress only starts once you play with the actual Bonus Funds. This would mean that in order to ever touch the Bonus, one would need to lose all their funds since you play with the "Locked Funds" first. Is there anyone for whom the Playthrough requirement went up without being a losing player and losing all their deposited funds first?

I believe the progress is only based on the rake you personally paid in hands that you won not overall rake from the table.

I can confirm that you do not need to play with bonus funds or lose any money at all in order to unlock this bonus. Just play normally with poker and it will unlock. I'm currently at 6% playthrough and I deposited a couple of days ago and I've been winning since then, not playing on the bonus funds.

Easy money just keep playing!

For the 75% up to $750 bitcoin deposit mine says that it expires Aug 30, 2020. Is that the date I need to deposit by or is that the date when the promotion ends?

Happens to me quite a bit as well. When it forces you to post a blind you can click sit out next hand, when it deals the next hand and sits you out you can click sit back in and only miss that one hand. I play mostly 9 max so this won't do 6 max players much good.
