I have been a regular player on Bovada/Ignition for many years now, including the "last 6 months" people keep citing.
I never had a big disconnect issue. Sure, it would happen every so often, but I'd chalk up any lost money to the equivalent I would gain when opponents disconnected. So overall I was breaking about even on disconnects, and it wasn't a big deal.
However, during the past 2 weeks or so, the disconnects/freezes have been awwwwwwwful. Like, worse than I've ever had. It's also happening to multiple opponents at the same time (though not all of them), so it's not just my computer or internet.
Here's what it looks like when I have a freeze. There are no buttons, and no nobody has that 30 second action timer on them. Look at this wonderful spot for it:
It is rare that I can play for 20 miunutes without one happening. Most often it seems I get screwed out of a SB or BB I posted, but occasionally it's a spot like the above. Sometimes I'll recover in time, sometimes I won't.
In addition, sometimes I get the "We're not able to process your request at this time" popup, without any other issue occurring.
In any case, it does seem like they are experiencing big time routing issues over there. DDoS seems possible.
It is highly unlikely to be skimming. With Bovada/Ignition, it's generally correct to chalk up problems to incompetence/apathy rather than malice.
