I know many folks here have migrated to Ignition so I hope this helps in case you haven't noticed Ignition's latest changes to deposits and withdrawals. First, they now are charging for credit card deposits (no big deal but this is a change since no fees were charged initially). Second, they will now process only ONE withdrawal without charge (except Bitcoin without fee) every FOUR MONTHS. Withdrawals outside of the 3 yearly free withdrawals will be charged $75 each. If you are a small time recreational player like me, this is a problem.
Ignition is heavily encouraging Bitcoin use. Good for them. As for me, it's just a hassle I don't care to deal with.
I withdrew my entire account balance today ( profitable one, I might add) but I seriously doubt I will be back.
 
Noticed this yesterday, luckily I withdrew my entire bankroll last week and will not be playing there anymore.
 
Yeah, their rules suck compared to Bovada, but Bovada is no longer. Bitcoin is much easier and more profitable to do (you can commonly make a profit on your withdrawl). They are encouraging this method because, and I guess you guys just don't understand what the US poker climate is at all, but it's INCREDIBLY difficult to maintain a payment processor to pay out US poker customers. That's one of the main reasons Bovada decided to stop. It was extremely costly to maintain, and in some cases where their processor got shut down, they had to eat millions of dollars in losses.

So my parting words to you are, GOOD LUCK on the other US sites. You'll be back once you realize the games are 100x better on Ignition.
 
Thanks for your thoughts on Bitcoin. Maybe I'll look into creating a wallet. Believe me, I know the other sites available to us US players are not as good, (Hell, thanks to our tax greedy and oh so morally correct politicians we are the red headed step children of the online poker world). 😀
 
Deposits and withdrawal via bitcoin is faster and safer imho.
 
I would like to get at least one check from Ignition even if it is only $100.
 
Looks like America's Card Room is the last site standing.

Bitcoin... The check process in today's climate is all but dead.
 
Bodega to Bovada to Ignition.
One of the few Us poker rooms.
For me personally I have passed on all these.

Works fine for me, speedy process and never any problem..
 
Am a US player. visa card I've used for years at Bodog/Bovada doesn't work at Ignition. Already had one bank account seized because bit coin usage. So using that as a withdrawal option is out. Coupled with new changes, to hell with Ignition poker.

And in general, piss on all these piece of shit US politicians writing all this bullshit legislation. And piss on all these rigged ass online poker sites with their RNG (rigged number generator). Not all, but most sites.

Why was your bank account seized?
 
I have been losing so quickly on the new ignition site that there wont be anything left to withdraw !
 
I was worried about the exchange of bitcoin when I started using it but it's been great.

Every time I withdraw and sell my bitcoin the exchange rate has always been higher.

And the withdrawals have always been quick. Usually under a week.
(My last one came in the same day and was in my bank account the next day)

probably the main reason why a lot of us switch to bitcoin
 
Games are still pretty good though, and bitcoin is pretty easy once you get it all setup. Things could be worse. There could be no site to play at. 🙂
 
Thank you for the info, i was about to download ignition today but i guess i will save myself the hassle and stick with ACR.
