Im not sure why you're under the impression that answering these emails are a burden.

They give responses that rarely demonstrate that they understood what you were asking, often come from a variation of a template, and they outsource this to employees who have a tenuous grasp on the English language both grammar and content. I once e-mailed them about streaming my sessions and if it violates the terms of service and got a nonsensical reply that made it obvious the person who answered didn't understand my question. Then they have the gall to tell you if you have any further questions to not hesitate to ask. Comcast is the only business with worse customer service I have come across.

It’s weird that the website is also down along with the poker client ..

All of you who want legalized gambling would lose your hats when someone legally offered 9-1 on the sky falling.

You (and others) better be careful making posts like this that was directed at Jar0. I'm not going to report you, but check out the bright yellow announcement at top of this sub-forum.

Announcement: No personal attacks on all 2+2 forums starting now (new rule). And it was signed by one of the new owners of 2+2.

Agreed. Small chance this is their exit. I've been wondering how they cover the monthly milly deposit bonus they offer. Deposit $500 + in crypto and get a free $530 seat? Too good to be true right? Maybe....just maybe..

Combine that with the crypto market correcting some...

I get that they would still be trying to keep the show running if they were insolvent, this is a far fetched theory that would be priced something like this:

Exit scam: +1900
other: -2600

Thanks for the flowers! At least ONE person, on all of 2+2. Got what i was attempting to say. The rest of the living-in-their-90-year-old-mothers-basement geniuses want to try and troll people ( since they long since ran out of money to play poker, or God forbid, INVEST in anything). HINT: "investing in A-A.....is NOT investing.

If they ban me....no big loss. If CNBC or Schwab banned me....that would hurt. As far as Jar0 goes....when people post things on here that are serious....and we get instantly trolled....bounce me! If this site banns people for telling the truth, you aren't much of a site. 2+2 used to be (15-18 years ago), the poker site by which ALL others were measured. Now. It's trolls, trolls and busted out degen gamblers, telling their bust out friends....how they got coolered. I noticed the yellow bar. First time i got on here. Then. I went to my posts from yesterday and found a whole collection of brainless trolls. Do you think, THEY read the little yellow bar? The comments on my post, were all filled with a**hole replies. 2+2 is under new ownership. On Reddit....we had to privatize a couple of our sub-forums(Wall Street Bets was the profit machine, and still is) because we had too many 2+2ers drifting over to our site and attempting to screw that up for all of us. We shut them out. We're STILL cashing checks! Maybe 2+2 should get rid of about 3/4 of their members( all the idiots and trolls) and they could maybe ( if poker comes back) grow back into respectability.

The sites cold wallet for BTC added 68BTC/3 million CDN~ in the last 6 hours, doesn't look like anyone ran away with their wallet though, looks like they only had 1~BTC on balance yesterday morning when the site went down.
Maybe they were temporarily low on BTC and had to "pause the site" for 24 hours until BTC got replenished?

Well in a crypto economy( where bitcoin took a bath a few days ago) that is a decent possibility. Just a suggestion....all you 'big' gamblers....if i were you, i wouldn't leave a lot of cash on here. You can cash out in like 45 seconds, and re-deposit in 5 minutes. Up yo you, it's your money. But the RED flags are waving on ignition

If you even know what a brokerage account is....i would be shocked. But. To show there is no hard feelings on my part, if you are smart enough to have a brokerage account, and you plan on trading today.....ADVICE: go SHORT on all but financials. See! No hard feelings. Even though you are not real bright

Here is an open invitation to all you good people on 2+2. This may not be the end of Ignition, but (A) It deals in crypto exclusively (B) crypto is for the most part, untraceable once it's gone. (C) Lots of VERY good crooks know this. (D) If this isn't the end, it's coming. Ignition spends almost nothing on security. So. Once your poker ends( again and again and again).....Come on back over to Wall Street. Last year, if you recall, they shut down ALL American sports. You folks came over to Wall Street Bets, and we had this thing go on.....called GME, and a bunch of us made bank! Come on back to Wall Street. The government doesn't hate Wall Street. They can tax that. The government hates offshore poker players, they can't tax you. These interruptions are going to continue, till you wake up one morning to find somebody( or several somebodies) have absconded with ALL of ignition. And being as it's in Costa Rica.....you have ZERO options. Wall Street, is in NY. You have options. Troll that. I made more in 8 trading days on GME.....than i made in a year working. Troll that! While you are waiting and waiting and waiting, for this site to finally come back( if it does) and continue to drag you and you are so smart, you can't even see it coming.

Here is one little suggestion. When the price of crude( both W. Texas and Brent) goes up, the price of oil stocks go up. When you see that happening, you buy oil stocks( XOM, COP, CVX, DVN SLB, etc.) When interest rates rise, you buy financial stock( BAC, AXP, WFC, C, PRU MS, etc.) and you make money.

And i am sorry. That's not a snarky comment, to all poker players( and i am one, poker and Wall Street seem to have lots in common, STUDY being the most in common ), if this is Ignition doing a grab and dash( gee, I've never heard of that happening in a total crypto environment)....and it's starting, beginning to look that way....there 'excuses' aren't making logical sense.......and the WEB SITE is gone? If that's the end of Ignition, try investing. It's not as adrenalin pumping as a big bluff on the river, but options and the like, are good enough. AND SAFE!!! Good luck, i don't hold any hard feelings, even to the brainless trolls here. You guys have a right to breathe too. Not much else, but you trolls can continue to breathe, doesn't bother me. Have fun

It was down for 24~hrs two years ago, I don't remember the exact date though.

Looks like they ran the update they posted about since Monday and it went FUBAR. If the site was a person, it could legally buy alcohol in the US, this isn't a 21 year planned exit scam.

Yea 99.99% its just an upgrade gone bad, but the BTC amt was super low Wed morning. They have clearly re added BTC since the downtime started yesterday, so doesn't look like their BTC wallet got hacked. Their BTC wallet usually holds 0-5mill.

they arent going to exit right before the NFL playoffs and super bowl. use some common sense

It feels there's not even a way to make this up for people at this point. I play PLO cash... A free roll would have to be like 100k+ for me to even want to waste my brain capacity and slog through the monotony of a NLHE tournament. Not to mention any advertised massive free roll will attract people who don't even play on this network regularly, which may be nice for iggy/bovada but once again detracts from the "we're making this up to you, our loyal customer".

Still a free roll grind wouldn't even make it up to people considering you actually need to cash n run late for any real monetary compensation, just equates to an extended waste of time for people who don't cash or play tournaments. Then you've got the sports betters, casino degens - free rolls aren't helping them.

At this point I'm just hoping they really make it up to the sports betters considering they're the idiots who donk off their money at the poker tables. Could care less about a free roll, keep these people happy and avert a mass cash out scenario.

After all the years of software issues ignition pretended didn’t exist, now people don’t take it at face value when ignition says there is a software issue… The site went down immediately after an update. Likely whatever update they pushed during the maintenance broke the whole site. If the update is important enough (i.e. log4j security hole) they wouldn’t want to just roll back to a previous version.

None of the other sites went bust like this. They make too high a percentage of new deposits to just shut the site down. All the other sites kept the games running as long as possible and tried to fill the liquidity hole through regular operations. It would start with withdraw delays.

The whole "update gone bad" story smells fishy though. Any rookie IT team knows that if you roll out an update and it ****s everything up you just roll back to the previous version until it's sorted out. It's inconceivable that a site that's been around as long as they have to not have this as part of their standard operating procedure, regardless of how incompetent they seem at times.

I'm not saying they're running off with our money or anything but this feels like something else is going on.

They're never considering an exit without major/broad legalization of sports betting and/or poker in the US. This is a cash cow and they presumably put the bare minimum into maintaining it. The required personnel, overhead, cost of building say a normal software company that is bringing in as much money as Bovada is probably 100x+ what theyre operating with.

The Milly is scheduled for this Sunday the 19th. The current extended downtime is screwing the weekend of satellites that lead up to the Milly. I see a non-zero possibility they move the Milly to the next Sunday which would be the 26th. And if the poker site is up by the 19th, then maybe the player appreciation freeroll gets run this Sunday. The player appreciation freeroll probably needs to be at least $150k and spread the money out over the top 25% of players.

That's a good idea. Not going to happen, but on a real poker site, that idea would have legs.

Last try....30 seconds ago....the message now reads "502 bad gateway" "The cache server did not receive any data for this request" All you web genesis out there, what does that mean? No more web site?

Literally moved close to $30k in ltc today for half a penny, you have no clue what you are talking about.

For such a hot shot Wall Street guy you seem to be sweating and wasting a lot of time in this thread posting nonsense. Don't you have your next million dollar trade to make? If don't have 4 or 5 figures on this site, why are you even here being belligerent / refreshing the site every 5 minutes lol. Get a life dude.

so...anyone wanna bet this won't be up until Monday at the earliest

this is starting to sound less like an upgrade gone wrong and more like hackers took down the site and are demanding bovada pay a ransom to get it back.
