BEWARE OF IGNITION CASINO/POKER FRAUD/SCAM

[soldier44]

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.

To be honest I'm shocked to read you played there with their connections to Bovado who are already blacklisted with us! It's a shame you didn't get to read Bovado reviews here first. We don't have ignition of course and they have already been spoke about in the forum in the past. 

 

In regards to if you'll get your withdrawal by bitcoin I really won't hold any hope unfortunately, but please keep us updated is there is any progress on that!

Hello, thanks for your response. Yeah, I don't have a very good vibe with this outfit. Although I will say that I used to play at Bovada for several years and never had any issues with them, which led me to give Ignition a shot. I believe my online gambling days are over it's just not worth it anymore in my opinion. Oh well you live and learn. Again I've gambled online for 15 years and never had an issue till now, so I guess i'm somewhat lucky in that regard. I figured the least I could do was to share this horrible experience and maybe save someone else from this obvious scam site.

played for a little over 3 weeks.. "cashback bonus" is a joke.  Only lost - didn't win.  You deposit - they suck it out spin by spin and everyone loses.  FACT.  Payout horror story after horror story.  This is a place to ONLY MAKE DONATIONS - so if you look at it that way, it is easier to deal with.  Repeated problems with game errors -- emailed and chat both gave me the same lame answer  - they didnt' see a problem, so there wasnt' a problem.  believe me - i would rather play than sit on a chat hearing same responses over and over.   I took the liberty to screenshot my last chat-- the chats always end when there is a question they do not want to answer. 

 

this place sucks, i hate that i donated to them, and any good business would have a loyal customer compensation margin for errors.  I am FINISHED OFFICIALLY -- terrible terrible terrible.   I am the ignorant one who thought it would be  different.   these posts are 

approved - but wondering how many people try to leave negative feedback and it gets erased from here.  Will never ever play online again.  I thought it was a great alternative to all the smoke in casinos.  go to this casino if you want to lose and lose again and lose some more.  then read all the reviews of what a hassel it is to get a withdrawal.   

 

jilted, and ignorant.. that is what I am.

Ignition casino is a scam. After countless hours of cash games which is my specialty in poker not casino games. I have finally come to the conclusion that no matter what you deposit or how good you may be you're always running to extreme amounts of bad beats and not just bad poker people real bad Beats. I've never seen someone play 4 9 suited after a raise and a re raise and they flat call. This is not a rant about me losing a hand, so before you judge listen closely. If anyone actually paid attention to the site it will feed you good hands according to your current stack size, but even so when the cards turn they turn hard. Not only do you see a dramatic change in hands the good hands you once played will result into coolers or bad beats on a regular basis until you need to re-buy. Think I'm just complaining give it a shot don't say you weren't warned

What was the deal with the cheque they gave you, did it bounce? Did your bank charge you for that as well? Wow I would really hate to have to deal with this kind of *****, I don't think I would gamble online at all if I was going to have to wait for cheques when I won...

I'm not sure I believe the thing about about the 4-9 suited though... poker rooms have little incentive to rip you off in that manner, they make their money from the rake - are you suggesting they had a house player at the table who was always going to win I guess?

Thank you very much for the information, friend. You saved my money! I recently started playing poker. I am now trying to find more useful information from more experienced people in order to become better at this business. I'm still playing online poker on my smartphone here https://www.score88poker.bid . Given the fact that I try to play for very small amounts to gain more useful experience, it is very important to know a good online poker that will not let you down and in the end you will be able to earn all your winnings.

1st I swear I'm no shill for ignition casino. I play there often though... I  don't see this thread as being fair at all. MAybe things have changed in the last couple years, but this stuff from 2018 is what pops up when you search.... I think it must need some updating,. 

While I have never had any really major wins at ignition, I cash out with $2-3K there quite often.  Usually won on the lucky wheel, and sometimes from slots or blackjack.  I have never had any kind of hassle from them cashing out, and bitcoin withdrawals are generally completed within an hour or two at the most.

I have been playing there for over a year now, and I try to keep track of  wins vs losses... Ignition is the ONLY casino that I have cleared a profit from overall. It's only about $2K, but ***** anything over break even zero is pretty amazing IMO.
