This, the sites offering bitcoin as a withdrawal option are doing just that, they are not an exchange. If you want to invest in bitcoin then hold bitcoin in your wallet instead of exchanging it. You should not expect any gain or loss via bitcoin volatility.

(I did do a quick search of this thread and although there are some questions related to what i'm asking that have been asked before, it seems you cannot click on the exact post and find it, or the answers to the post)
You can use the VIP points to register your initial buyin for the guaranteed tournaments (7.5k on weekdays, 10k/15k/20k on weekends). It will only allow this for initial registration, not for rebuys or add-ons. I'm not sure if BOL announced what the levels are for.

Support didnt give the clear answer to my situation:


Jared Knight: Thank you for contacting Live Chat Service. How may I assist you today?
Alex: Hi, Jared Knight. I'd like to ask about verification.
Alex: i was verified at the tigergaming year ago or so. Should i verify again if the email and payment option both the same?
Jared Knight: Hi Alex, how are you?
Alex: Hi, im fine. Thank you.
Jared Knight: Great.
Jared Knight: This is not Tigergaming.
Alex: Ok. But it the same network.
Alex: Should i do this again? If so what the docs should i send?
Jared Knight: To better assist you, would you please provide me with your account number and answer to your security question?
Alex: B*******
Alex: idont not remeber any security questions.
Jared Knight: Thank you, mothers maiden name is the question.
Alex: Why should i answer to this? Isnt it private info just for me and for the reasons like forgotten password or so?
Alex: Usually support asks email/ date of birth or full name. I think its ok but this is totally private. Isnt it?
Jared Knight: This is part of the verification process, not see where this will compromise your account, you can provide me with your date of birth.
Alex: ** of **** 19**
Jared Knight: Thank you.
Jared Knight: Please be informed that at first glance you are not required to send any documents, unless stated different by our Security team while your payout is review.
Alex: Anyway. I think its good when im verified. Like when i go to the bank i show my passport etc.
Jared Knight: Is there anything else I can assist you with at this time?
Alex: Or i shouldnt send because security team is the same for the whole network. I didnt get your point.
Jared Knight: Please be informed that at first glance you are not required to send any documents, unless stated different by our Security team while your payout is review.


If anybody other has the same situation? I mean its high chance that they will ask this docs when i will withdraw funds. Right? Why they dont ask to send right now?

Dude just play and when ready withdraw. If they request documents at that time send them. It is very simple and standard.

BOL is an A-rated book that has been around forever, where they get their poker software from is meaningless.

I've been getting constant crashes lately. My computer's disk usage and network throughput both periodically spike off the chart and the software to crashes. Never had issues with any other program. Any ideas? Getting super annoying.

try right click, run as administrator. this has helped some but not all. Same problem with high disk usage here.

Never been solved since the major update they made a few months back. My guess is it's related to graphics/driver somehow but just a guess. GL

It's not the same software at all. Not even close actually.

The software comes from the First Fidelity Network.

Are the BBJ games even beatable with the rake?

The software comes from the First Fidelity Network.

Equity Network (FFP) and Chico Network (BOL) both used to use the poker software provided by PlaySafe. However, Chico Network swapped to FFN software months ago.

Equity Network and Chico Network are completely different entities.

Most higher stakes games are normal tables while lower stakes are BBJ, I guess that says something about the IQ of the players. TBF there is a player called plshurtme(or something close to that) who bumhunts heads up and try's to get fish on 6max tables who starts them all, I guess he thinks fish are more likely to join him there. He leaves as soon as a reg joins, I suggest we don't let him open sit 6max tables anymore.

RE: Lower stakes being BBJ - the BBJ's start at .5/1 and I've seen a fair number of people from the micro stakes playing at .5/1. Makes for a lot of short stackers.

As for plshurtme (yes thats the name) - I'm confused how someone "bumhunts heads up" - I thought bumhunting was looking specifically for known fish. Who cares if plshurtme opens new tables? You can't bumhunt an empty seat.

Hi, Plshurtme

I am not sure of the origins of the term, it has however been used by everyone in the poker community for the last 8 years for heads up players who sit at empty tables and only play if a fish sits, I realize this probably does not meet the official definition of the term.

I care that he opens BBJ tables because they are higher rake, most players that actually play 6max don't want these tables to run

Anyway, no, sorry, I'm EvilGreebo. My avatar is Dr. Horrible. I occasionally will sit at a table plshurtme has opened though.

I wasn't aware there were "official definitions" for slang. I'm more familiar with the term in a live player context though. If that's the convention for online then fine. Although, having read as much online as I have, I'm surprised I hadn't come across that implication before. But again, maybe that's the "everyone but you agrees with me cause I'm me" mindset.

ETA: Ok - I retract that one - did some google-fu and found the definition as it applies to HEADS UP tables. I suppose you could count 6max and FR tables where it's just pls as "bumhunting" - at least until more than one other person joins...

I still stand by "who cares"?

You SAY "most" players. However, as evidenced by the number of BBJ tables vs. NON BBJ tables (at least in the .5/1 and 1/2 list), this would appear to not be the case. The numerical evidence suggests that most players in those stakes are quite happy playing the BBJ tables.

But again, you may be suffering from the misguided notion that if you think it, everyone must agree with you. "Most" (see what I did there?) of this latest response does tend to support that impression.

Oh yeah, plshurtme always runs away... I'm like nooooo, come on man let's start a table.

I hate when there are only a few players left at a table and they all run away. HU is my favorite kind of poker. Since the jackpot I only play HU tables now. See you all there .

Bug: The little icon on the bottom right of the lobby that displays your connection quality is inaccurate and inconsistent. Sometimes it says I have 1%, sometimes 78%, sometimes 100%, but my connection is always flawless and I've tested it during play using 3rd party sites and apps. I'm connected to BO just fine and having no problems no matter what it says my connection quality is.

IIRC, someone else brought this up at one point in the past and it just disappeared in a patch. It's definitely back.

As for those of you having legitimate connection issues: I posted about this a couple of years ago on here but make sure you update java and specifically, Shockwave. I have no idea why it works but it does in like 7/10 cases.
