Honestly this has happened to MANY players that I know personally and I've heard your story many times over. For the mods and SBR let me explain what OP is doing and why he was "consistently" winning.
On Bovada(Ignition) what you're able to do is deposit and get a bonus. Example: Deposit $1,000 and get $1,000 bonus. You can sit with that $1,000 that you deposited at a Poker table. Let's say he sits at a $1-$2 Limit(Fixed) Hold'em table with the $1,000 and sits out and isn't playing against someone. He then can take the $1,000 cash from the bonus to the casino and if he loses there is no hold(rollover) left to clear on his $1,000 that he deposited and it's like nothing happened.
Tomorrow, he can deposit and get ANOTHER bonus and do the same thing. Basically he's not risking ANY of his OWN funds and only the bonus money that has been given to him on the deposit. This is the bonus abuse that they are describing. I've seen many players have their accounts closed, many have had their funds confiscated all for doing exactly as I've described.
We all know OP isn't some mastermind BJ player who is legitimately beating the house in a rigged game. I think that's obvious. While I would feel bad if OP was oblivious to what he was doing and was casually taking advantage of the bonus but it's pretty clear he hit it hard and had no regrets. You won't get this money back because it was not won fair and square. Ignition is a legitimate site owned by Bovada/Bodog and if you took them for $20,000 they'd pay every cent if you did so on your dime and not their own.
If you WIN with the bonus it isn't too difficult to clear the rollover and the funds are able to be withdrawn. Ignition obviously looked at his play and saw he was abusing the bonus without risking his own funds.
