Reasons:
1) The "perks" being given to transfer from Bovada to Ignition suck, and are nearly worthless.
2) Ignition has various "new player" bonuses which seem superior to any "transfer over" bonus, and I assume everyone qualifies for them if they don't have an Ignition account. After all, it's a "new company", right? (Wink wink!)
3) I am hearing rumblings about possible rakeback on Ignition for new accounts. Don't have the info yet, but I am hearing rumors of this.
Thoughts?
Unless things have changed by transferring you get $10 and some mtt ticket which we all know Druff can't wait to play in.
You can still get $100 poker drop bonus or whatever it is called by making a deposit afterwards on Ignition. The rest of the bonuses last I looked were only for casino games with huge rollovers so they are worthless.
Most people have reported they don't have to send in verification if they transfer to cashout so that is a big thing too because dealing with these sites with verification is a time consuming pain in the ass sometimes.
If their truly would be rakeback then that would be a game changer worthy of spending time to verify your account. I doubt this happens knowing they way this network has operated over the years.
Lol
I wonder how quickly they will become the same company when someone maxes out 20 stolen credit cards and transfers it all over.
I've at least used 20 different cards their to deposit lifetime. Including paying girlfriends/friends/brother cash to use their card when like five different banks/card companies blocked me from international purchases and both greendot and netspend shut down my account... Yeah I'm a degen.
The point is they have never checked card info vs. account info.

haven't transferred anything over...would it be better to wait and see on this rakeback before making a new account over there or just make a new account right now (don't transfer it over, make a new one) and hope to get placed on rakeback?Originally Posted by Dan Druff

Anything new about this on radio show? I havent transferred yet either.
Druffs likely right.. You also can transfer funds directly from Bovada to Ignition (assuming you have the minimum amount to transfer).. I kinda was being a donk as I hadn't played Bovada in awhile.. (Id deposited on Ignition already to get the deposit bonus) Laugh ok yes feel free to laugh.. I have 4.85 on Bovada right now and guess what the minimum to transfer is $5.00.. I sent a message to support saying hey dummies that's great you told me how to send it except I told you before I only have $4.85 in the acct to transfer over.. Imagine how much money these clowns are gonna get for free from folks who cant move said small amounts.. Its free money for them in their pockets at this point if they wont move it for me (which would piss me off). Already having issues trying to login tonight (No problem at any site logging in even Bovada but cant Ignition Poker client to connect keeps giving me an unable to connect error and trying to blame my net connection.. Nothing wrong with my connection its their shitty servers again..)

Nothing new yet, but I think there is very little downside to simply waiting 'til October 1 and creating a completely new Ignition account.
The perks for transferring over are very poor, and I have to imagine that new signup bonuses on Ignition will be at least equal, and likely superior. Furthermore, I have received fairly credible info that there will be rakeback for new Ignition accounts if you go through the right affiliates. I am still looking into that, though.
The only downside I see is having to verify your account again which can be a hassle and if they actually do offer a bigger bonus it will be harder to clear because points are accumulated at about half the rate as Bovada.
I can also see them offering Ignition redeposit bonuses from time to time just because of it being harder to clear where they might hit some peak wall wanting more people to put money on. That is unless they really want to kill poker altogether which I don't completely think is the case. By offering bitcoin cashouts it barely costs a site money so to just stop an auto pilot raking revenue stream of even a 100k a day would be silly.
