Complaint Review: Ignition Poker

Ignition Poker is a scam! While other poker sites require a USERNAME to identify their players Ignition trys to sell the lack of any identifying info as a plus for their players. That is simply not the case. I've been playing on their site for a week now and it seems that the only thing this does is it makes it impossible for the users to recognize the ROBOTS playing against them. Like Full Tilt and many other poker sites that went down after it was discovered that their were ROBOTS put into the game to steal your money, Ignition Poker is doing the exact same thing. In addition to the ROBOTS Ignition Poker is using in their game they are also not using a normal probablitily that a 52 card deck would adhere to. Finally, the system has glitches that make you lose money by folding your hand without you wanting or attempting to fold. Look for the patterns and you will stop depositing money into this scam website.

All other poker sites require a username to identify thenplayers at the table. This is important for several reasons. One reason is to allow players to add notes about a players decision making while playing cards. For example, some players are loose and call anything while other players are tight and only play premium hands. More import than that is the fact that many poker sites had a back door in their code and ROBOTS were added to the game to steal your money. These ROBOTS know what your hand is and what is coming in the future cards that have yet to be dealt. Many oplayers complained about these ROBOTS and their screen names were made public by posting complaints like these. There was literally a list of the usernames that were suspected ROBOTS and players could avoid these usernames / Robots to minimize the casinos from stealing your money. Ignition poker has no usernames and no identifying marks of any kind to allow this to happen naturally. So how would we be able to prove this is happening? How could we avoid these ROBOTS? Well, you can't and it is happening all over the place. 

Whn it comes to playing cards it is important that the code follows a realistic probablity. For example, using a 52 card deck there should be a 7.69% that an ace would be drawn since their are 4 aces in each deck and 4 dived by 52 equals .0769. There are also the probability that you would be dealt a pair and your oponent would also be dealt a pair. Or the probability that someone would have three of a kind. As a life long poker player and a veteran when it comes to internet poker I can tell you with a level of certainty that this site does not follow any realistic probability that a 52 card deck should have. Within a single day I had 5 full houses and they were beat by 2 four of kinds (which is far more than rare to get) and 3 full houses larger than mine (which is far more than rare). In addition to this I saw 3 straight flushes. In all my time playing internet poker I have only seen a few straight flushes. I saw three on this site within 8 hours. This is not only unprobable but it is borderline impossible. After playing nomlimit holdem for a week I can tell you that you will feel like you are playing Omaha which is know for a dramatic increase inthe show down value of poker hands due to each player starting with 4 cards rather than 2. Every winner is a set, a straight, a flush, 4 of a kind, or a straight flush. Saying that this is abnormal is by far an under statement.

The site has glitches that you need to be aware of. For example, on the mobile version for your phone or ipad you can accidently slide when you try to push the button to call or to raise. This will perform the function that you attempted and also fold your hand. Yes, this means you put more money into the pot and then you fold. That is obviously not ever what you want to do but the app allows for it to happen. In addition to this I found tht the site automatically logs you out in the middel of a hand. It seemed suspicious to me becasue it always happened when I was in a hand with what I felt was the winning hand. I lost somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 on approximately 10 of these hands. These glitches really need to be resolved as it forces the user to question the integrity of the game.

Lets talk a little bit about the patters on this site as well. You can actually see patterns while your playing. Just look at the pocket pairs you get dealt and it will become clear that it is not using a realistic probabilty. Just know whe you play these pairs that at least one other person has a pair too. The site deals you either a pocket pair or suited cards approximately 35% of the time. This is far beyond what it should be and it caused a lot of action. Players get into this because their money is flying all over the place... which is ecatly how Ignition Poker / Ignition Casino wants it. Just when you think it might be okay that everyone has a pair or suited cards their ROBOTS will come grab the pot or the system will fold you without you wanting to fold. 

I've been playing long enough to know that I am not getting anything from the poker site and I wouldn't even try. This is gambling and you don't get your money back after you lose. I am writing this to make sure that other players know in advance that Ignition Poker is not playing by the rules and once you put your money in, it's already theirs. If you deposit a couple hundred dollars you will have donated it to them. You have to get to $500 before you can withdrawn any money and with all of the issues that I disgussed above you can see why that won't happen.

This website will get closed soon as well so you are risking keeping any of your money in the site. All of us that got burned by Full Tilt are still feeling this. There is literally nothing you can do to get your money back because the game is rigged.

I hope this gets to people BEFORE they deposit their money into Ignition Poker.
