Did the most recent update mess everything up for anyone else?

The action this week has been terrible. Not sure what others have observed. Nov/Dec were fairly busy. Jan through the first half of March were surprisingly active too. The last week has resembled what the weeks leading prior to all the format changes last October looked like. Pretty dead. Hopefully it isn't a sign to come because football season is over as is college basketball season.

guys do you play ignition in nevada? or is not allowed? , I can play but Im scared that ignition could close my account... Ive read playing ignition in nevada is not allowed.

it is not allowed. its been a while but when i played there on vacation they blocked me and told me to let them know when m not in the state and they reopen the account. they wont confiscate your money tho.

cashouts esp crypto is their top feature. honestly these days they process them within 5 min always.

Are you guys playing on mobile, PC browser, or PC client?

----

I just ran a session on the client, new Windows 11 computer freshly started, almost nothing else running (only Firefox and jurojin) and it was constantly glitching. Before and after multiple restarts of the client.

Tables wouldn't open properly, action constantly froze for several seconds, tournament lobbies wouldn't open, tables would open to 59% and freeze, or just open as a black screen and freeze and be unclosable. I got sat out heads up in a sit and go for five hands...

Bananas

As if it's not tilting enough being forced to fold showdown value by the lunatics on this site who go all in with air in co-op pots, or bubble you in sit and goes with absurd plays etc. lol

I'm gonna try September.28's recommendation to load tables in a PC browser, but I don't think table management software is usable there, and the tables are probably gonna be too small on my laptop screen.

Ok, loaded up some sngs in pc browser

As expected, jurojin doesn't work with those

Tables automatically tile in pc browser, unlike mobile browser where you can only see once table at a time

Once you have 3 tables going, they are way too small on a laptop screen, even if you make the browser fullscreen (f11)

The connection is still glitchy there, with tables often kind of freezing for seconds. Like they will look normal, but suddenly fast forward several seconds.

At one point I had three tables going, and one of them just randomly froze while the other two were working fine. The frozen one even started the disconnect count, showing I was officially dc'd on that table, while I was steady playing hands on the other two.

Right now I'm one tabling, and along with regular "micro freezes", its now just frozen me for the past 60 seconds or so.

Stuff like this was happening with the client too, so these issues seem to be related to the general connection, and not the client/browser platforms.

Same issues here for a couple of days now.

I play there since a year or so and 3/4-tabling on my phone just radomly disconnects me from time to time. Some tables you'll get back as you left them, some tables are just gone and you sit at a new table alone. Tried other devices but happens on any of them.

Poker is dead at bovada in 2026. The player traffic is the worst it's been in the last decade. Very little recreational players and mostly bots/regs. Everyone is taking their bankroll to CoinPoker and ACR.

It is strange that this site just keeps lowering the rewards. First they slap you, then they spit on your shoes. No surprise the traffic is so low.

Anyone getting the 99% problem again?

This site is so fn greedy no wonder they're going under. Basically 0 rewards, 0 rakeback, bot galore, don't punish cheaters, don't refund players that have been cheated. If there weren't absolute whales playing on that site I'd never touch it .

sometimes, yeah

I routinely get the thing in MTTs where, upon joining, you have your first hand automatically folded despite the table loading within a second or two (when it fully loads). I also get one random table freezing up and snap folding all my hands while all other tables are fine. And it sometimes takes me a while to even notice, if I'm busy with 7 other tables. I think I sometimes miss multiple hands.

This site has a lot of dumb "features" to it, but it also contains a huge number of tasty American fish, so here we remain. They also give us a bit of money back by not rationally adjusting their prize pools, giving us significant overlay in many MTTs. This happens on Global Poker too, and occasionally on ACR. Not on WPT.

Agreed with Derrick Wong. Comparing 2016 to now is unrecognizable really.

I did well at the sngs January - 1st half of March to start this year. 2nd half of March a bit spotty, but there was at least very good traffic on the weekends with some good week days mixed in.

April the action is down dramatically. This is the worst I've seen traffic since the changes. If you're playing sngs, you're looking at a few casual players over the course of primetime hours which would be like 6 to 10 pm central. This is in stark contrast to late November and December where 100s filled pretty quickly actually and didn't see much of a drop off from that.

When they originally made the structure changes, what I noticed was the volume of casuals dip - but there would be a chunk of players who would stay on and play for a while and blow off what they had, as opposed to prior to the changes where the volume of randos was up but more one and dones. But the past couple weeks it's been quite dry, which the exception of Monday last week with the NCAA championship game.

My concern is 2 things. 1. No more football and March madness to drive the action. 2. The structure changes sending the message that they really just want a gambling site and no more skill at all in poker. I think at first that kept a number of casuals interested, but over time the fact that the structures are gimmicky wear on the player base and people lose interest and leave in droves. I think this could turn into another Party Poker ghost town.

I don't see any good options really if you're trying to make an income online in the USA. I hear good things about WPT gold, but it's regulated and you don't have multi tables. I mean let's be real. Look how Stars went from the online mecca to borderline unplayable. Just a matter of time before online poker on all these other sites would no longer be profitable.

The interest in poker isn't what it used to be in the USA imo. Less disposable income, more kids just wanting to sports bet and play video games, etc. Totally different culture

How do global, acr, and wptgold compare in various respects to ignition?

Have u tried coin or any other us-facing sites?

gold ,coin and even to a certain extend acr are growing. the viral video of the mtt botfarm had a big effect on ignition and the other sites are taking in all the traffic

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but it's what keeps me from playing on Ignition lately. In cash, when I SIT OUT, either intentionally or accidently, it will not let me back in until the BB. This is extremely aggravating. I can't leave the table for a short need wo waitng an orbit. This has to be a bug, no? Why is no one else mentioning this?

I've experienced this, as well as, many of the things tradenine and others are mentioning like the return of the 59% and the 99% spinning death.. The pain is real. I don't use any third party table management software, therefore I am manually topping up. There are enough times where I preflop three-bet or four-bet in the small blind and the money goes in preflop or on the flop and I am trying to top up. I lose the damn hand which stings enough and then it doesn't reload me on the table and it sits me out instead of getting to play my button which is the absolute best position on the table. I try not to think about how much money this cost me not getting to play my button over a year or now going on more than a decade.

Coinpoker and ACR are both fairly soft and have plenty of action. ACR have got their **** together as well, its actually nice playing on there now.

Also disagree about poker losing interest in USA, the game obviously isn't at its peak and it's also not at COVID peaks but it's been steadily growing since the COVID spike drop off.

can login on the browser but can't launch the desktop or browser lobby. anyone else?

I went straight to the browser version, so I can't say anything about the desktop version and I don't risk logging out to see, but I will say that several things about the browser log in were different and updated today, from the log-in pop-up, lobby appearance, etc. so that did change something in the last 24 hours.

Yes - they have broken something on the back-end.

I sent a few emails to "customer support" including a video of the issue; they are still asking me to clear my browser cache.

Same issue, if anyone finds a fix let us know.

Looks like something broke. Logged in on the website, but the site and desktop are not functioning properly.

The layout when you click to log in is different. You can't click to get in through the desktop. We'll see if they figure it out. It worked for me last night through about 4/5am today so they just updated this in the morning and ofc they messed it up
