Hello, everyone I just recently joined askgamblers. I would like to share a recent experience I had with Ignition casino that will hopefully maybe save some new gamblers some grief. First of all I'm no stranger to online gambling and have been doing so for 15 years and never been scammed out of winnings. Well recently I joined Ignition casino because they have a poker room as well. I heard that they are closely affiliated with Bovada so decided to give them a shot. I just recently won 600 dollars playing keno and decided to try a withdrawal. I had already sent required documents so I knew that wouldn't be an issue. So to make a long story short after about 3 weeks I recieve a Canadian check via courier, and promptly deposited it, and that was on the 8th of January. So today I log in to my ignition account and noticed they had credited 600 back to my account. I immediately knew what they had done, and of course they told me the check was returned because of a printing error on the check, yeah right!. What a scam. Now they want to pay me through Bitcoin. I gave them my bitcoin address, but seriously doubt I will ever see my winnings. I just wanted to share this to maybe save any new players some unnecessary grief. In 15 years of online gambling this scam shack is the worst i've ever seen. I also contacted the kanawakee gaming commission and guess what, ignition casino voluntarily terminated their license with them in 2016. The sob's aren't evened licensed as far as I know, lol.  PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS FRAUD SITE. 

After months of stalling to pay my cashouts these crooks confiscated all my account funds!! Both sites emailed me at the exact same time saying I was guilty of Bonus Abuse. Bovada and Ignition are for sure the same company because I called Bovada and then immediately after Ignition, and got transferred to the same Poker Security team. I tried to get more details or any evidence of what I did wrong but they used BS excuses and refused to let me speak to a supervisor. All I want to do is warn everyone, be very careful with online gambling sites and definitely STAY AWAY FROM BOVADA AND IGNITION CASINOS!
 
So what happened to me was, my friend told me about a special bitcoin promotion Bovada was running where you can get 100% extra on your deposit. I deposited $250 the first time and lost quickly. I tried a second and third time and lost those too. Then on my 4th deposit I ran it up to $7k and cashed out! I was so hyped about my win and googled other casino bonuses. I saw that Ignition offered a similar promotion. This time I deposited $1k the first three times and lost. I was only going to allow myself to lose up to my $6k Bovada win. Again on my 4th deposit, I ran it up to $7.2k and cashed out.
 
The next day both sites emailed me that they needed to verify my account. I emailed them my ID. I called Ignition and they actually verified my account so I thought it was all good. I called Bovada and they said my account was still on hold while they reviewed documents. Over the next couple of months I sent in every piece of documentation they asked for. I called them several times and all they would say is to wait for emails with their decisions. They kept stalling and stalling until finally a few days ago they confiscated all my money, WTF! Like I said earlier I called both companies and they wouldn’t provide me with ANY EVIDENCE. Actually Bovada said I was abusing the bonus by withdrawing and re-depositing, when in fact I NEVER EVEN RECEIVED MY WITHDRAWAL!!! Just totally lying and making things up! They jacked my winnings AND my deposits.
DO NOT TRUST BOVADA. DO NOT TRUST IGNITION. THEY DO NOT PAY OUT IF YOU WIN. PLEASE LISTEN TO MY WARNING. THEY DO NOT OPERATE LEGITIMATE GAMBLING SITES!
