The only source of money that I would receive on my blockchain account would be from bodog, nothing else. Thanks in advance!
I'm glad to help, but I can't gently answer because

#1 You have a join date that is over 2 years old, although not many posts.
#2 There is a Bonition payout thread that is also usually on the front page of this tab too.
#3 There is a 2+2 search feature that works well.
#4 This question has been recently asked so therefore the information is easy to find.

Do not go straight to Blockchain always use a middleman/privacy wallet like Exodus. If you want more info on why, then it is time to start fully using the features of 2+2 to get a more detailed answer. To get you started with the 2+2 search feature you could search blockchain or advanced search by poster without the quotes "ladybruin" or "a dewd" and look for anything "blockchain".

To disconnect guy: Don't bother contacting support; the amount of time and frustration it will cause you is probably greater than the EV you had in the pot. It's not much of a consolation, but these random disconnects are long-term 0EV, all else being equal.

Thanks for the orientation, will definitely be helpful in the future. I forgot to mention, I live out of the USA, I currently live in South America. Didn't find anything using the searching feature clarifying if I'm facing the same risks that a blockchain account living in the USA is. Does the risks apply to SA accounts?

I don't know if these companies are treating customers from different countries differently. But, I would say that we are going in the direction of a lot of crypto wallets trying to be like banks. And as that happens they start trying to make sure they are following banking regulations like "know your customer" (KYC) and no gambling transactions and stuff like that.

That is where a PRIVACY wallet like Exodus comes in. Exodus doesn't want to know anything about you. The perfect privacy/middleman wallet is one that doesn't want to know any information from you. And if you are using a cheap fee coin like Litecoin, then using a middleman wallet really isn't costing much of anything.

It is a growing list, but do not go straight from a gambling site to Blockchain, Coinbase, CashApp, BitPay, etc.

Today at 200nl regular tables. Wondering how common/likely this is. It feels wrong. I love this site but I also hate this site. Whenever **** like this happens I think about how possible it is for them to be interfering in the games to prevent losers from losing too fast.

I deposited $200 on Bovada a few weeks ago, was charged $217 to my credit card. Red flag #1. Had fun playing for a while but when I go to withdraw my funds (currently $212), half of it is locked up and unavailable to withdraw! Red flag #2. Have also noticed that the 100% bonus is also locked up. Red flag #3. I've contacted support but am sure I will get a cop-out "it's all in the terms of service that you agreed to" response. Will post an update once I get a response, but for now, coming from a rec player who is relatively new to playing online for money, I recommend to anyone else from the US to go with Americas Cardroom. Stay away from Bovada!

You will have to forfeit your bonus to withdraw as said above, but also from my experience you also have to wager atleast your deposit amount, which means if you deposited $217 you have to atleast sit at a ring game with $217 dollars and play a couple of hands or play $217 worth of tournaments, or wager $217 in the casino etc. It is to avoid money laundering I believe. Also any deposit method comes with fees, including crypto because the crypto wallets charges fees to buy and then a minor fee when sending from exchange to wallet and then from exchange to site.

Actually seems like what you are going through is normal, main thing and rule number one is dont panic.

In a Brags, Beats and Variance thread, someone will posts being ahead of ev, someone will post being behind ev and many will post being somewhere in the middle. Just make sure you are not coming in here cherry picking a day where you were behind and making this your whining forum. You listed this 2,457 hands as "today." I've never played 2,457 hands in a day, but if you are, then who gives a crap about a day. Show us 24,570 hands or 245,700 hands and then you will be showing us you aren't whining about a day's worth of results.

Also that stat is the most funky stat in the history of trackers. If you let that stat get into your head, then you are screwed. If I remember correctly, that stat has caused some much confusion over the years, even the name of the stat has been changed at times.

Not sure how it is a cop out by them wanting you to play some to earn the bonus. That would be quite a business plan if they just let you deposit $100, give you $100, and then let you immediately withdraw the $200 with no strings attached.

Both of my Zone tables froze and I had to relog in order to get back in. The whole Zone lobby exploded... way less players in the games immediately after. This hadn't happened in a long time, so hopefully it doesn't become a pattern again.

I like to play heads up sit n gos on Bovada. Every time I finish one and then the next game opens it tells me that my account was logged in from a different computer and I am forced to close out of everything and re-open it again to get to my table. By that time my 1,500 starting stack is now down to 1,350 or so. It is so damn annoying.

I see the same thing must be happening to others as well because there are so many times when I will start a game and the other person is sitting out until their stack getting around 1,350.

2.5k hands is nothing. I used to play 10k hands/day for years and it was very common to have days where I'd run well over/under EV. Ignore the advice to wait until you have 25k hands, or 250k hands; those sample sizes are still insignificant. The stat is a pretty good representation of one element of luck that you'll experience as a player. Technically it's not precise, but it's good enough. Not sure why that other guy thinks the name of the stat has changed over the years, or why that's relevant. Any suspicions of nefarious actions are much more likely to be due to collision (which would result in victims running below EV) than it is for the site to try to fix it so that losing layers lose at a slower rate.

MeleaB, if you want to make a post to someone in this thread, then you are obviously free to do so. But if you go back to some hidden passive-aggressive crap in your posts directed at me, then I'm going to come at you hard again. It didn't work out so well for you last time.

Go fix your software. There is a product running circles around you and ten times better to use on Bonition. You are getting crushed Bro. Not that anyone should want to trust downloading a piece of software from someone as unstable as you.

The 2+2 search feature works well. This is me making sure that other 2+2 members can use the 2+2 search feature, look you up and see how immature you are. I'm been on 2+2 since the year 2008. I've seen a lot transpire in the poker world in that time. I've posted for years. I've seen the clowns come on go. I've seen the old timers who only post when they need help. While I've been on 2+2 helping others. And I can spot the whackjobs. And in my opinion, MeleaB has history of passive-aggressive immature behavior and anyone considering downloading any of his products should think twice.
