An Unusual Online Poker Dilemma
It’s common for sites to experience an outage due to an update, but it’s not often that the downtime lasts this long. So, this is a very unusual situation in the poker world.
We understand that players are concerned about their money – especially those that have quite large bankrolls. Of course, we’ve seen players getting incredibly frustrated on social media.
What Has Caused the Bovada Poker Outage?
According to Bovada and Ignition, the outage is due to an “update gone wrong”. They have both been trusted online poker sites for over 20 years, and there’s no reason to believe that there is anything untoward happening.
Both sites have stressed multiple times that players’ money is safe. So, if you’re a member of either Ignition Poker or Bovada Poker, it’s important that you don’t get too stressed out.
As a consolation, the sites will most certainly be thanking players with a generous offer once they come back online.
When we say we’re committed to making things right, we mean it. This sucks, and while we’ll never make up for this downtime, we’re thinking about ways we can thank you for your loyalty.

How Long Will Bovada Poker and Ignition Poker be Down?
Bovada Poker and Ignition Poker have very recently updated their Twitter accounts to let players know that they can expect to see the site return in 7 or 8 hours.
They have also stated that they will keep players updated within the next few hours.
It seems that the teams running the sites are working tirelessly to get everything back up and running. We’re confident that they will return within the time frame they have given.
This is a situation that we’ll be monitoring very closely! So, stay tuned for updates.
UPDATE: As of 19:33 ET on December 18, Bovada poker is back online. Based on recent activity, players will receive compensation directly into their accounts.
"As a USA player, I think Bovada is the best option. There are always a lot of games going on and the Bitcoin payouts get to me within an hour. No complaints here."
