Watch the WSOP last night and got the itch and tried to log into my old Bovada account and appears to no longer offer poker! Is there any place you can still play today? Recommendations for easiest place to deposit/cash out?

Bovada is now Ignition Poker.

You can sign up there if you want to to take your riches.

ETA: Using bitcoin at Ignition is waaay faster for both deposits and payouts.

Is there any place you can make easy deposits like paypal or with your regular debit cards from local banks?

I had to buy a NetSpend prepaid visa card to load funds at Ignition. My regular Chase bank cards would usually get declined.

This is the correct answer. There are some wiring fees, but it's easy to get started on.

does it feel pretty legit? these online poker sites always scare the shite out of me. you could have a few people playing at the same table talking to eachother about what they have

not to mention computer programs or bots or whatever

If you played a good amount on FT/PS none of these feel legit. I bounced around on a few of the other sites after black friday and none of them were really worth the effort due to low traffic.

Haven't played online in a few years now though so maybe things have changed. I doubt it though.

My good friend played a session at Ignition a few weeks ago. A few days later, they emailed him saying that he had played in a game that they suspected collusion. They refunded all the money he had lost that session. So I can verify Ignition, at least somewhat, looks out for you.

It seems legit. I've won a few sit-n-gos. Have never seen any shady play. There is a chat box, and it appears that most everyone is English speaking, so I can follow what they are saying. They mostly just bitch about being bet out of hands or donkey bets.

I've always been amazed by people playing online poker and blackjack.

I have noticed no difference from this and a poker room with live players.

Yeah you can't really compare online blackjack with online poker.

Unless you are playing some short handed high level 6 max table this wouldn't be profitable for these cunning thieves who are paying blinds and rake.

No one is working the .50/$1 tables dude.
