    Bovada Poker warning....system errors?

    After a 10 year hiatus, I finally gave online poker a chance again. It started off ok with some solid double or nothing grinding. Tonight I'm in 3 sit n gos and the app crashes out of nowhere. I try and restart in 20 times etc and finally after 15-20 min I get onto the site. 2 of my sit n gos are over ( I cashed in one luckily). The last one was the biggest buy in at a 200$ double or nothing 6 person game. By the time I finally got logged back in I was down to like 400 chips and 3 of the other 6 players were all sitting out. Clearly they dealt with the same bs I did. This is not ok. With no sports to bet on anymore, I really wanted to give online poker another chance and I'm already fuming. What a joke!




    do they even have customer service??? I havent used bodog in forever.

    Did you contact customer service? If so, what was the result?

    I was thinking of making another deposit there for poker.

    Yeah wtf, right?

    Question -

    How is full ring say $.50/$1, $1/$2 and $2/$4 playing strangers on PStars? I haven't played on there since Black Friday.

    From what you said I'm thinking not good.

    Bovada poker is the absolute worst. The software is awful as are the the anonymous players.

    Out of what is available to us in the US, they are my preference for poker(as is sister site sportbetting.ag).

    I also noticed that they have bounty tournaments, which I'm a fan of.

    I have played poker at Nitrogen quite a bit and the players are so bad there. The problem is, there are so many bad players it is hard to avoid the mine field. You want 2 or maybe 3 donks at your table but it is hard to win when there are 6-7 of them. Long term it is profitable but short term be ready to take your fair share of beats and exasperation.

    Checking it out now. Looks like no rakeback (I don't know of anything in the US that is, post Black Friday) but weak opposition should be "favorable" (Neeme).

    Professional Rakeback looks like a good source for reviews, etc.

    TheMEtsSuck....Bovada has been having "technical issues" ever since Nov of 2019. They advertise a DAILY Cash Back that if you go into the "community forums" they have you will see players $itching about not getting daily cash backs and the moderators will come on and say "issues w/cashback today" and maybe throw em a $5-$10 bone just to quiet the masses. I've been playing in the Jackpot Sit & Go and the constant lagging cost me at least the chance to make $$$ on more than one occasion in the past couple weeks.

    I'm not sure what makes me madder the "technical issues" or the copy & paste responses they give such as "WE APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK BUT REST ASSURED WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE OUR POKER ROOM IS SAFE & SECURE" even after I took the pic of the writing on my tablet that said "SITE NOT SECURE"!! You can't make this $hit up if you tried man!!

    I remember a couple years ago there were rumors of Bovada folding and going bankrupt within a month.

    I guess it never happened. They should be raking in the money now.

    Similar thing happened to me. I went into a jackpot sit and go tourney for $100. I was dealt AA the 1st hand and after that it froze/crashed. I wasn't able to get back to my table, but I figured it was a 1 time thing. Tried another $100 jackpot sit and go the next day, and the same thing happened. Not going to flush my $$ at bovada tables again.
