[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread - Page 522 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Does Bovada not honor their poker tournament guarantees?? Just played the 10pm EST $12,000 guarantee $100+$9. 111 players played and the prize pool was only $11,100. Seems pretty shady.

Looks like a glitch most likely. Check your cashier though. Whenever there's overlay, there are two transactions in there...one for the portion of the paid prizepool and then the remainder for the overlay. If that's not there, definitely e-mail/call them.

Thanks, going to go this route. I do not want to have my credit card info out there and BOA will prob. not let me deposit anyway. I was told about NetSpend, but when I looked at the card at CVS there was a bunch of fine print on the back about fees, monthly fees, setting up an account, etc.

Most of the complaints were from comcast customers because there are more comcast customers than the other ISPs combined. If there are 10 comcast customers and 1 AT&T customer you are going to get 10 complaints from comcast customer and only 1 complaint from AT&T customer. That is why most of the complaints are from comcast customers. If it was a comcast DNS issue than switching to the Google DNS would fix the problem for 100% of the users, but it didn't so duh not a comcast issue.

Does Bovada allow accounts for two different people at the same street address? Assuming since they require a copy of your drivers license that they can be sure it is two different people.

I didn't require any documentation. This was September.

If you go by the wording in their ToS, then no. But I believe the answer is probably yes, if you email support and ask them (which you should probably do if you have two people that want to play, anyways).

No way people read this forum for years without participating. Let's not forget when 2+2 got hacked 2 years ago and lots of people lost their original accounts as well.

You've actually had several accounts banned in the past. Can't believe they're still letting you post under this one.

You just buy the card and then can reload as much as you want, no set increments. You don't have to send anything in for Netspend, just register the card. The card at the store isn't good for international purchases, you have to wait for the mailed one.

I can't believe you are a pro for a training site, but hey, if there's a niche, right? Fwiw, obviously it was looked into and handled as to why that happened. Please keep up your terrible video's, you're doing the community a very good thing!!

I tried multiple sites when I bought my Netspend and it worked on none of them because it wasn't good for international purchases. Once I got the real card it worked, this was about a year ago. Never hurts to try though.

I know right after BF lots of cards worked directly from the store and now almost none of those ones work at all anymore.

I emailed Bovada and they transferred me $207 (the difference between what first should have been and what it was) AND sent me a $55 tournament ticket. Well done Bovada

I was 2nd in that tournament and had noticed the prize pool discrepancy while playing and then completely forgot about it, so thanks for the reminder!

PS, losing A5offsuit vs A5offsuit aipf to you did not make me happy, but fortunately my mouse survived.

So I'm an idiot because I nailed you down to a question you can't answer? Seems about right. Look, it's obvious you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about here, so just do us all a favor and stop posting.
