Poker players at Ignition Casino are becoming increasingly incensed at the seemingly constant disconnection problems at the poker room as of late.
Both cash games and tournaments are affected to the point where it is practically useless to log on and play, according to posters at 2 + 2. The tables seem to freeze up on a regular basis, timing out players who invariably lose any money or chips risked in the current hand to those players who have the good fortune not to experience the software issues for the moment.

The online poker real money craze started with tournament poker, and Ignition Poker is proud to offer the No. 1 online poker tournament experience on the planet. There are daily and weekly can’t-miss tournaments, highlighted by the top Sunday major in the US, the $100K Guaranteed.
'Dude if Ignition doesn’t fix their POS software I'm going to leave the site and never return,' posted a frustrated 'DeepStack bMAC.' 'It's getting absolutely absurd. In 20 minutes my tables have frozen up 5 times. It's to the point that risking money in a pot is -EV regardless of the players at the table because the software will freeze and time you out mid pot.'
In today's video I explain why I withdrew the rest of my money of Ignition Casino and will no longer be playing poker there.which you may want to too! I'm planning on finally making a deposit on Ignition, because I've heard that it's the softest network available to US players today. I like putting in volume and I don't plan on springing for Holdem Indicator right away (that's the only HUD that works on Ignition right?), so I'm planning on giving the Zone tables a try, both for the higher volume and to ensure that I'm not putting myself at a.
Getting Worse
Those sentiments were echoed by a number of players, including this author who can attest to the disconnection problems first-hand. The software issues have been ongoing for at least the last couple of weeks and the problem seems to be getting worse instead of better.
Back on May 20, 'Rich Checkmaker' informed fellow online forum posters that he he was 'kicked off my tables. ignition is crap.'
Ignition honchos have acknowledged the problem and posted this message on Facebook on June 2:
'We’ve recently been experiencing software issues that are impacting some of our players’ game play. We’re aware of the issue and are working diligently in getting it resolved as quickly as possible. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and thank you for your understanding.'
Players have reported receiving free tournament tickets after voicing their complaints to Ignition support. However, what good is a tourney ticket when the same problems continue?
Quick Seat Quagmire
Some have surmised that the problems began when Ignition revamped their cash game lobby to that of the 'Quick Seat' variety back in April. Players can no longer scan the cash game lobby and choose which table to join and are instead asked to request their game type, the limit format, and the maximum number of seats at the table.
Players are then whisked to the table of their choosing among those choices, many times finding themselves alone. We can debate the merits of the quick seat format and how it is supposed to protect recreational players from being hunted by sharks.
However, anonymous tables already alleviated the bum-hunting issue, so this quick seating silliness is just another cause for frustration among players. Coupled with the disconnection problems, a good number of Ignition players have apparently reached their boiling point and have already or perhaps will soon look at their hole cards elsewhere unless the poker room can quickly right the ship.
'Me and my 2 friends both play on here,' commented 'Shawn M Michael' in response to Ignition's Facebook post acknowledging the software issues. 'We were so pissed thinking about cashing out and playing somewhere else.'
After a quiet summer for US online poker, a big announcement has been made by e-mail to players at Bovada Poker. This is the largest of the offshore US poker sites (licensed from the Kahnawake native territory located inside Canada) and was best known for its pioneering anonymous tables.

What will happen is that Bovada players will transition to Ignition Casino (I think its safe to assume that the room will be called Ignition Poker). The software platform will be the same, the tournament schedule, promos and games will be the same – though player loyalty points accumulated at Bovada Poker will not be moved over.
This article over at Online Poker Reports suggests that there may be some ownership link between Ignition Casino – which they point out looks like a well funded venture – and Bodog. For those of you who were not around, Bodog was the pre black-Friday brand which transitioned players to Bovada.
I have some questions concerning this move, and as soon as things become clear I’ll update this page. These include:

- Bovada Poker is US players only, will Ignition Poker open their doors to other countries?
- What will happen to players that signed up first for Bovada Poker, and then moved over to Casino and Sports Betting (will they now play at Ignition Casino, or continue to play at Bovada Casino?).
- Will Ignition Poker continue with the anonymous poker model?
You will not find too many mentions of Bovada Poker here at High Tech Gambing, or its sister-site Sit and Go Planet. The reason is that the owners decided that they did not want publicity of links to the poker room from 3rd party sites, and asked us all to remove the mentions some time ago.
Whether Ignition make the same decision remains to be seen. You can check all the details at www.ignitioncasino.eu
Meanwhile, other US friendly poker rooms are running well.
OSS3 at America’s Cardroom
The main event of the summer for online poker players is the OSS3 (Online Super Series Cubed) at America’s Cardroom. This 3 events back to back, and includes another of the ACR flagship events, which have a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. The events run from the 14th August through to the 25th September, and satellite qualifiers are available for all of the games from the mini-OSS through to the High-Roller events which end the series.
At the moment new players get a scratchcard every day for 20 days after your first deposit. This gives you between $2 and $6 in ‘tournament dollars’. You can either spend them as you go on the smaller buy-in games (for example Jackpot Poker lottery SNGs) or save them up for a bigger game.
