300 points? I had a 1k deposit and it was much more than 300 points...

try 5k

They're talking about the weekly Ireland bonus. $30 for 300 points.

well i was talking about the initial deposit bonus, which i mentioned...

Must be difficult going through life like that.

Hi morphy.

lol get ****ed, that idiot is not me.

Yea my bad. Even you of all people didn't deserve that.

I'm an idiot for saying the bovada initial deposit is hard to clear? lol

You're an idiot because you started replying about the initial deposit bonus when someone posted about a weekly promo.

See, I really am likable, just in a different way...

Yeah, it was clearly a misunderstanding. If that makes me an idiot then god help society.

#internetthug

Yeah society is full of idiots unfortunately.

Idiots and internet thugs. Life is tough.

Haha, so false. The Bovada initial deposit bonus clears at a rate of 60% rakeback (i.e. You need to rake $1000 to clear a $600 deposit bonus). The Pokerstars initial deposit bonus clears at a rate of 27.5% (i.e. You need to rake $2182 to clear a $600 deposit bonus). Even though PS gives 120 days, and Bovada gives 90 days, it's not even close.

Edit: While not really relevant to how easy it is to clear, that's not even considering that Bovada's max match is $1,000, while PS's is $600.

Sure, if you look at it in a short term perspective. The clear rate on stars goes towards a higher status and higher multiplier. Which in return turns into cash. I was making 4k a month in rakeback from the stars VIP club. Clearly cannot do that on bovada.

I should have been more specific in my frustration with the VIP system on bovada.

And the time frame is much more important than you think. Being limited to 4 tables instead of 24 is a big difference.

Just the Internet once in a while. You can't teach an old dog new something or other.

Was it just me that thought they were hugging it out when they first read this?

Internet thug, LOL.

Did they announce the winner of the 5k Ireland trip yet? If not, when?

hahah thats exactly how i read it as internet hug

Has anyone ever checked the randomness of card distribution on Bovada?

/backs away slowly from the flame throwers...

both equally suitable imo

OK well this comment you made was based off of a quote which I am pretty sure i deleted about 5 minutes after posting because I felt it was in bad taste. I wrote that stuff (which i subsequently deleted) mostly cuz you spoke condescendingly towards me, which did not make me feel good.

So here, I am sincerely apologizing for that foulness, even in the message which i did not delete I had some spunk, but yeah im oi (over it) and i hope you will be too.

Now somewhere between the quote below and the quote above you stated that you dont know what my issue was, here goes nothin.

Please forgive any oi grammatical issues and just get what im saying. I am hoping that coupled with your obvious book smarts, you have street smarts to go with it.

I dont have any years of IT experience, so I say this with all due respect. I think that maybe since non-comcast customers are having the same issue, and some comcast users are NOT having any issues, the issue is not specifically with Comcast. We have word from Comcast that they are not blocking bovada.lv, and word from Bovada that they "...understand that some people are having issues with their ISPs." (this is much less direct than comcasts response, I always feel that directness deserves more benefit of the doubt then, indirectness.)

Given the data in the thread, it is unfair to place the blame of the issue on Comcast. The main point of everything Ive ever posted in this thread, is that it doesn't matter whose fault it is. BOVADA has the PROBLEM.
You see, Comcast stands to lose virtually nothing from this issue, and Bovada stands to lose alot from this issue.

I'm not claiming that I know more than you about IT stuff, and Im absolutely not looking for a fight. All i am saying is that those who blame everyone but themselves tend to go nowhere, those who are willing to admit that there is room to improve, go far.

So to be more direct, if Bovada is at least willing to look inside and find a way to adjust their client to be immune to this issue, then this problem has a chance of going away and all the happy random fishes can come to play... If bovada chooses to play the blame game and wait for comcast, or any other IP to do something about it, then we just might lose one of the only remaining good sites we have left as Americans.

You wanted to know what my issue was, well there you have it. Hopefully I have barked down your tree enough to the point to where you will be nice to me.

All this being said, I am generally pleased with how Bovada is doing things, I just hope that they maintain their general influx of randoms (whatever that volume may be) to a point where the GTDs stay where they are at or even better go up.

In this case it is my honest opinion that they need to pinpoint the issue and find a way for their client to automatically workaround the issue with zero brainpower required from the user... lets not forget who we want to be playing with us now...

if you wanna be a hud bot who lives off rb bodog isn't the site for you but the bonus is not at all hard to clear in the time frame allowed.

Lol 5000 points in 60 days would not be an issue.
