first time this has happen to me since i've been on there (5 months).. but yeah basically same deal here.. let me log on 1/10 times and then.. it was going really slow as well.. with the lobbies etc.

This. 100%

Yes it looks like they are suffering from the same DDos attack as the merge network was.

I was in a 50 player tourney with 5 players left and haven't been able to login for an hour. Are they going to chop the prize money?

Does anyone know how long this will take to fix or can it be fixed? What do they need to do to fix this prob?

I just needed a few more points for my bonus offer hmmmmm fishy could go for alot of people needing a few more pints......

Yes, it is unfortunately impacting all of our products but intermittently. If you’re having problems logging into the poker client or registering for a tournament we suggest you try again. We will let you know as soon as this is fully resolved.

Nah this is the first time I've experienced this, since I joined the site like two or so years ago.

Figures it's an attack and not just incompetence.

It's awful greedy they are wanting people to continue to register for tournaments when the lag and connection issues still are going on.

Is there a chance this could be a warning of a site going to be shut down?

I sure as hell hope not.

I was able to get on and make a successful deposit. The account section appears to be running slow but the rest of the poker client seems to be moving at a solid rate.
Now running really slow and ****ty again a few minutes later. Just give it a rest for the days boys and come back tomorrow.

They just answerd this about deposits.

The deposit worked fine just the rest of the site still experiencing some difficulties.

Yea the last thing Bovada would let slip is the ability for people to get money onto their site. It sucks as someone who wants to play though.

I got my points last night, and my bonus this morning before I tried to join a tourney and got d/c'd.

oh my... lag gone?

Ive been trying to play since 12pm its now 7pm. They have officially ruined my day!

im in

you really can't feel 100% safe with ur money on this shady site...

i'm sort of in, tried to reg for stuff with overlay but can hardly play

Got dealt AA, flopped quads, and the server DC's me as I call the guy on the flop. Servers way too unreliable to play for real money as of now.
