Bovada did not interrupt their multi million dollar business, making hundreds of players have client problems just so Rathix would struggle to win his S&G.

You arent that important. No one cares whether you win your ****ty S&G or player 6 wins it instead.

Whoa, relax man. I didn't even interpret his post as him claiming they were cheating him. Not once did he even mention it. He could just be posting in here to see if anyone else is experiencing the issue.

The chances are low for Bovada since it's mainly a sportsbook and has a good history, but nothing is 100% in this environment.

If only there was a way for the players to police this sort of thing themselves. Maybe if they made the hole cards available for every hand played. That would be pretty cool.

This only happens when I am in the final 3 or on the bubble and it always happens with another player. Something here is rigged for certain players to win.

Did I really have to quote this for you?

I mean, you just got into a debate over him claiming the site was rigged because of his S&G disconnect. You made an argument that he could be right. Unregulated sites could be rigged you stated. Now, ten minutes later, you claim not once did he mention anything about the site being rigged. He could be just seeing if anyone else had the issue you say.

Are you high?

And my argument wasn't saying Bovada was rigged specifically, just that there's a risk playing on unregulated sites. Nothing is 100% certain, but you obviously know that already I'd assume.

This has to be the nut low of "Unofficial XXX" threads on the forum. The dumb post to informative or real issue ratio has to be like 9-1.

Player 6 always wins, obv.

I assume you're making a joke/point, but yea by one of those phony regulatory committees. Just like UB/AP. I'm not saying the US gov't will be perfect, but they legally can't cheat players. These fake regulatory bodies that audited Full Tilt and UB/AP faced no legal consequences and pretty much turned a blind eye to the cheating and book cooking. It was basically Full Tilt and UB/AP auditing themselves.

But they can spy on your every move, allow the banking industry to cheat the entire country, keep a legit poker site out of the country for greed (but not capitalize on it), etc, etc. Makes sense.

So you'd rather have random companies regulate poker who face no legal consequences? The Gov't regulating it is the lesser of two evils. Please don't tell me you're one of those "keep poker the status quo people"?

I'd rather Poker Stars run the poker economy than our US govt, yes. I'd rather play with everyone in the world instead of just in the US, yes. It can be regulated without being ruined.

Any way, this thread is a Bovada support thread incase anyone forgot.

Has anyone else had random debits show up on their bank accounts in the last few days? It's a pretty serious issue that is getting covered up by garbage. There are two of us who have posted ITT already.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I don't feel like going through 350 pages. I get why they hide screen names, but why the hell do they hide full tables and not have wait lists? Just doesn't make any sense to me. It makes it look like there are fewer options then there really are. I bet it's a race to get a seat sometimes in these games.

Back when they had the old rep JustinR. when he was asked this he said Bovada/Bodog liked hiding the full tables when we had names and they had no plans to stop even though they went anonymous.
