Is Ignition the same as Bovada?

[Vfranks]

I have been out of the loop for a while, did Bovada change to ignition, or are they separate sites?

I used to play on Bovada a while back(am in the USA) but have only played on ACR in the past year or so, but want to expand my horizons a bit. I was going to try Global, but I guess they don't accept paypal anymore, which was really the only reason I was considering it.


I tried to do a CC search about Ignition, but couldn't find anything recent about this (maybe I'm blind), so sorry if this has been asked.

Ignition faces the USA and does not have a sportsbook.

I would avoid Ignition. Shitty poker software

As I know it, Ignition bought out Bovada. Bovada ceased last year Sept. 30. Ignitions software is a clone of the Bovada client.

Ignition is part of the PaiWangLuo network, who also acuired bodog in early 2017.

There was some threads during the transition, but mostly questions and little answers.

Thank you. I have been looking at ignition, however it appears I have to make a deposit to play. Is that right?

Don't switch, people were saying bovada was switching to ignition and they had a promotion that allowed you to transfer your balance and you got coupons and a cash bonus. I did and got a new laptop and cant even download ignition. I tried contacting bovada and they informed me they have nothing to do with ignition.

Cool, thanks for the replies. After reading the replies from here, I looked through my email and found a message from Bovada saying they were switching from back in Sept. 2016, offering a $10 credit when doing so. I don't remember ever switching, but I tried a password recovery on the Ignition web page and seems I do have an account.



Are there any other poker rooms that are available in the USA that have the fast fold type of poker?


I do like like ACR, so I'm not going to stop playing there.. I was just hoping to add another room I could play in addition to ACR, since sometimes there aren't a ton of games running. Also the zone poker thing, or fast fold, I wouldn't mind trying that format again, as the only time I tried it was when it first came to Full Tilt when people from the USA could still play there, pre-BlackFriday.

BOVADA FORCES CONVERSION TO IGNITION

Bovada discontinued their poker room in August 2016 and forced players to convert to Ignition. ....Looks like Bovada has it's own room again.

Here is the email from them on August 9th, 2016:

Hello Adam,

We have important news we want to share with you. Bovada Poker has been acquired by Ignition Casino. This means you'll be required to transfer your account by September 30, 2016. After this date, poker at Bovada will no longer be available. You'll still have access to Bovada's sportsbook, casino and racebook products.

Ignition Casino uses the same platform as Bovada, so the features you enjoy such as anonymous tables, Zone poker, mobile poker and guaranteed tournaments, like the weekly $100K, will be there waiting for you. Both sites will also operate simultaneously with shared player pools until the transition is complete. Any Poker Points that you have accrued on Bovada will need to be used by September 30 as they will not carry over to Ignition Casino.

We'll do everything we can to make this transition as easy as possible. Please be sure to visit our FAQ page where you'll find information on account transfers, how to score your generous migration bonus, what to do with your Poker Points and any other questions you may have.

We're confident in Ignition Casino's ability to provide you with the same level of service and security you're used to at Bovada. To find out more, check out their website today.
