Ignition Poker Overview (9.12/10.0):

Ignition Poker (www.Ignition) is one of the oldest online poker rooms, launching in 1994. They were founded by Calvin Ayre, an online gambling billionaire who recently returned to the Ignition company to help further expand the brand. Ignition accepts all USA players, and they also have a casino, sports betting client, and horse betting client integrated onto your poker account. The traffic at Ignition doesn't compare to sites like Full Tilt or PokerStars, but their tournament and sit and go structure is top notch, and it was our favorite aspect of the room.

IgnitionPoker.com Software (9.0/10.0):

Ignition's lobby has a unique setup, but is still easy to navigate and doesn't confuse players. On the left they have a display bar that shows Ignition's latest promotions including their WSOP qualifiers as well as their latest reload bonuses and player promotions. On the right side of the lobby Ignition Poker displays the rules for the current game you're viewing. For example, when you view the No Limit Hold'em tables it tells you the rules of the game, as well as what the term "No Limit" means.

The center and the top of the lobby is where you do all of your navigating. At the top you can choose between the Main Lobby, QuickSeat, Preferences, and Account. QuickSeat is a cool feature that Ignition has that allows you to plug-in the table you are looking for, and it will instantly take you to a table of that type. For example, you can plug-in No Limit Hold'em, Cash Game, and $.50/$1 and it will immediately find you a table. This really reduces your time in the lobby and lets you get to the tables quickly.

The tables at Ignition also are unique in the online poker world. Instead of showing an avatar or person at your seat, you just see a small image along with your name and chip count. Also, there is no "table", but just an open area in the middle where the cards come out and the chips are put in. This really cleans up the whole experience, and it is VERY simple to witness what is occurring at the table.

Ignition's multi-tabling is different from other online poker rooms, and quite frankly, much better. Instead of having tons of open windows, all of your tables are on the left of the screen, and you use a "tabbed browsing" feature similar to Mozilla Firefox. Plus, when you have one table open, you still see the action at the other tables in a mini-display on the right side of the table. View the image below for a visual idea of what I'm describing:

(Ignition Poker Multi Tabling)

As you can see, the boxes on the left are smaller images of your other tables, and the middle box is the table you are currently viewing. Another great feature at Ignition is the "Spotlight" feature. The software automatically "highlights" your table on the left side of the window if it is your turn to act. This makes it easy to follow the action at multiple tables.

Ignition Promotions (8.9/10.0):

Ignition offers a 110% sign up bonus, a 100% reload bonus, new depositor freerolls, double points promotions, bad beat bonuses, and a royal flush bonus. They have a ton of promotions, all of which are explained below:

Ignition $1,100 Deposit Bonus

Ignition Poker recently upgraded their first time deposit bonus, and it is a much more lucrative bonus now then it was before. The current offer is a 110% up to $1,100 match, with the first 10% being an instant bonus right into your player account. The remaining 100% of the bonus has to be cleared by earning poker points.

Poker points are earned by playing real money cash tables, sit and go's, and tournaments at IgnitionPoker.com. At the ring games you earn points based on how much rake is taken from the pot. The following table shows the points you earn based on the amount of rake taken:

(Ignition Poker Points Chart)

Besides at ring tables, you also earn points for playing sit and go's and tournaments. For every dollar you pay in tournament or sit and go fees, you receive three poker points. Also, for every hour you spend playing online at the Ignition poker room you will earn an additional point.

How to Clear the Ignition Poker Bonus

To clear the bonus you need to earn ten poker points per dollar of bonus. If you make a $1,000 deposit, you will have a $1,000 pending bonus, and will have to earn 10,000 poker points to fully clear the bonus. Also keep in mind that the bonus expires after sixty days, so make sure to deposit during a month when you can really play a lot. Learn more about the Ignition Poker deposit bonus.

Ignition $500 Reload Bonus

The $500 reload bonus works exactly the same as the initial deposit bonus, except that you can redeem it at any time (not just on your first deposit). You simply deposit any amount and then receive a dollar for dollar bonus match, up to $500. From there, you have to earn ten poker points per dollar of bonus to clear the bonus money.

New Depositor Freerolls

Every new depositor is eligible to play up to six freeroll tournaments over their first two weeks at the Ignition poker room. These freerolls are direct qualifiers to the $100,000 guaranteed tournament that runs every Sunday. Up to 1,000 players can enter every week, but the field is usually much smaller than that. The winner gets a $162 direct buy-in to the $100,000 guaranteed, and second-tenth place finishers receive a $17 buy-in to another $100,000 qualifier.

Double Poker Points Bonus

Ignition is letting all of their poker players have a chance at doubling up their poker points every month. For a limited time, Ignition is rewarding any player who accumulates 2,000 player points in a month with another 2,000 points. Also, there is no limit on the points, so if you earn 30,000 points in a month you will receive a 30,000 point bonus.

Bad Beat Bonus

Ignition offers a bad beat bonus, which is a nice little way to take the sting out of a crushing defeat. If you hold Aces full of Kings (or better) and lose to Four of a Kind (or better), you win 100x the big blind of your table, up to $1,000 max. Here are the rules that you have to follow to qualify for the bad beat bonus:

• The bad beat must occur at a Texas Hold&/visit/ignition39;em real money cash game.
• Both hole cards must be used by both players.
• Three or more players must have been originally dealt into the hand.
• Both hands must go to showdown.
• You cannot reveal your hand to anyone at the table before the showdown, or the bonus is forfeited.
• You must submit your hand number within 48 hours of playing the hand.

If you meet these requirements, email poker@Ignition.lv and provide the hand details, and you will quickly receive your $1,000 bonus.

Royal Flush Bonus

Ignition also rewards players who hit a Royal Flush with a 50x the big blind bonus, up to $200 total. Here are the rules:

• The hand must occur at a real money Texas Hold&/visit/ignition39;em cash table.
• Both hold cards must be used.
• Three or more players must have been originally dealt into the hand.
• The hand does not have to go to showdown.
• Your hand must win the pot.

If you meet the requirements, make sure to email poker@Ignition.lv to redeem your bonus.

As you can see, Ignition offers an enormous variety of promotions, prizes, and contests to keep the game fun and profitable. To redeem every bonus, including the $1,100 sign up bonus, the $500 reload bonus, six new depositor freerolls, the double poker points offer, the bad beat bonus, and the royal flush bonus, visit Ignition.

Ignition Poker Games (8.6/10.0):

Although Ignition doesn't have the traffic of sites like PokerStars, they still always have games running at most limits. For No Limit Hold'em, the stakes start at $.05/$.10 and run up to $10/$20, all of which have games running at the time of this writing. For Limit Hold'em Ignition offers stakes of $.05/$.10 up to $30/$60, and once again, each level has tables running. Ignition also offers heads up Limit Hold'em tables from $1/$2 to $5/$10.

For Pot Limit Omaha Ignition Poker has tables running from $.05/$.10 to $10/$20, although they only have games running up to $1/$2 at this moment. If you are looking for Limit Omaha, Ignition offers games from $0.25/$0.50 to $30/$60, but most action is found at the lower stakes.

Five Card Stud action is limited, and right now there aren't any real money tables running. Seven Stud games range from $.25/$.50 to $5/$10. Seven Stud H/L games run from $.25/$.50 to $5/$10, but none are running right now.

Ignition Poker Tournaments (9.6/10.0):

Like I mentioned before, Ignition has a great tournament structure, and they have plenty of guaranteed money tournaments to keep a MTT player busy. Their chip structure provides players with starting chip stacks of 1,200-2,500 depending on the tournament. Also, the blind intervals are set at 15 minutes, giving players plenty of time to play poker instead of get into an all-in luckfest.

Ignition offers over $1.8 million every month in guaranteed tournaments, and the great thing about these tournaments is that there are consistently overlays. An overlay is when a guaranteed money tournament doesn't reach the guarantee, so the prize pool ends up being inflated. This results in better equity for every player in the MTT.

Ignition's big tournament is their Sunday $100,000 Guaranteed. This is a weekly tournament that is almost always an overlay, and last week only 469 people entered. Since it is a $162 buy-in, that means there was a $29,650 overlay. This is one of the lesser known tournaments on Sundays, but is one you should definitely be playing. There are also tons of satellites throughout the week that let you win a buy-in with as little as $1. To play the $162 Sunday tournament, visit www.Ignition and create your

Ignition Poker Rewards (8.5/10.0):

Ignition Poker offers a limited rewards program, as players can only earn cash back or free tournament entries. To earn rewards, players must accumulate poker points by playing real money cash games, sit and go&/visit/ignition39;s, or tournaments. As you earn poker points, you can either turn them in for cash or use them for

To redeem cash back, you have to have at least 500 points to redeem. You can convert up to 25,000 points per month into cash, and the exchange range is $1 for every 100 poker points. Also, the cash is issued as a bonus, so you still have to clear the money before you can withdraw it.

Ignition Support Team

Ignition offers 24/7 support for all of their players, and you can contact the Ignition support team through a contact form at www.Ignition, a phone number (1-888-263-0000), or via live chat. The Ignition support representatives are always courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly, and will work to resolve your issue as fast as possible.
