Any hope on getting the hand history window and the tournament ticket buying window fixed? Should I call them or not bother? Can they do tournament ticket purchases on the phone?

When you play the mobile client are the Hand histories downloadable? I feel as If they are not, but I would just like a confirmation.

I feel as if they are...because they are.
I assume you have the PC client as well, that is where you can download them as a batch.

Yup it was just this. Thank all for the help

Has anyone had any issues with their referral bonus? I sent the https://www.bovada.lv/ link along with my referral code to a friend and had her follow these directions (directly from their website): "Once they have your referral code, it’s easy. All they have to do is: 1. Join Bovada and enter your personal referral code. 2. Make a deposit and start playing. 3. When your friends make their first deposit, you’ll instantly receive a 100% match bonus."

She followed the directions but called Bovada customer service to verify that the referral code went through because I didn't receive any notification or anything. She tried to make a deposit but it didn't go through (international credit card restriction). Regardless, she called customer service to work this all out. Upon speaking to customer service, to summarize her obscenely unhelpful experience, they explained that she had in fact registered her Bovada account through a third party website in Tel Aviv and I was not eligible for the referral. She double checked her browser history, the email she received directly from Bovada upon registration, my referral code #, and no where, anywhere was any direct or obvious link to a third party. Apparently she argued the point on the phone but all they could say was "you must have signed up through someone other than Bovada...hmmm, you used the official Bovada website? Are you sure? That's strange." Is this just their way out of shipping a $100 referral bonus to me? Or has this "third party" business happened to anyone else? Either way, she's obviously not moving forward with this and seems deeply concerned about this random "third party" mention.

Any thoughts? Others experience the same?

I miss FTP

Did she visit any other poker affiliate type sites before signing up? I remember merge suggesting to clear your cookies before you sign up because some of these sites put a cookie on your machine that the sign up page then reads as a referral and they get the credit for the sign up.

?

So yeah, if you live in one of those 6 states and you go bust, you are pretty much screwed unless you can win some free promo or something and grind it up/get money dumped to you.
Also, I believe 3 of those states have legal online poker, so it's a good trade off.
I'm not really sure why you think online poker is almost over.

The same reason that every time Bodog has server issues some moron thinks the DOJ has shut it down.

lmao
they won't drop down to 1/2 but theyll play 10/20
there is no reason for sites, even ore bodog to offer these higher stakes games, especially when you consider how hard it is to get money on these days.

sites make the same rake off super high tables as they do off of medium stakes games.having recs get slaughtered faster does them no good.

and a half pot button isn't for recs lmao

the one thing you were right about is maybe they'll go play blackjack or bet on sports- gee guess how bovada makes most of its money genius.

yea nitty games where they stole your money was so great

Has anyone got placemint working? The window titles seem invisible or something.

No, great games, great software, great game selection, and fast payouts were great.

Well they did take 3 years to pay back most US players, so on like an evolutionary scale that's fast I guess.

It works. Don't understand your issue from what you typed. May want to post more specifics in the planning forum.

Obv im talking about pre BF. Was that not obvious or do u people like picking apart everything anyone says and being smart aZses?

It was the DOJ that made it take that long, not the site.

You replied to a comment that was quite obviously talking about the theft from the owners.

No, no and no. The owners stole the money directly from the players. If it weren't for PokerStars the money would be gone, and if it weren't for the DOJ the players would have never gotten paid back.

I was talking about all the problems with bovada... Payouts, deposits, disconnects, software, lack of transfers, etc etc etc.

I miss FTP cause it had NONE of these problems. All good. No big deal mr morphy

It's a double edged sword. Because the legal sites follow regulations (that restrict them,) because some banks are still making it difficult to deposit, because the market is young/the competition sucks and because of the relatively small player pool, I like Bovada and WPN better than Borgata/Party (haven't tried UP yet, but I'm going to soon.)

On the other hand, I've heard the games are dumb soft (but from lower stakes players than I'm interested in) and I've played on Borgata, and freerolled entry into the Borgata Poker Open. These types of perks are great, but their not all that. It's nice to be able to win entries into a local(ish) Live tournament, and freeroll other similar stuff that happen at these casinos, but let's be real, that's not a smart trade off for more profitable games.

What I'm saying is that, from what I can tell, the unregulated market is more profitable than the NJ market. If I had busted my roll, maybe I would rather be in a state that didn't regulate it at the moment. (I haven't really given NJ sites a huge chance yet, b/c I won't play WSOP until they fix some huge problems I have with the online part of the brand.) Maybe this is a largely a liquidity issue.

Luckily, I think once we get player pools combined among states and once we have PokerStars in the market, things COULD get better. There's also a possibility insane regulations will screw it all up, but we'll see.




But no, online poker isn't dead. There's so little incentive for any government agency to do anything about it I'd say anyone who thinks that it's all over is an alarmist if they don't have any really compelling information.

if i can't get on any nj site with a usb range extender, am i pretty much hopeless? I have to play in my office to get online, which sucks.

Doesn't belong here, and I actually have no idea. I thought the main thing was that you needed to be able to see multiple wi-fi networks in NJ, even if you're only connected to one. So if you can't see multiple networks, I don't think it'll work.

But try to post in the proper thread, you'll likely get better answers.

will do, for some reason i thought this was the nj online poker thread
