Poker - IgnitionCasino

So thought I'd check if they had a royal flush bonus, and they do. Here's the page on their website with the details...

It pays 50x the BB of the stakes you were playing. So yeah, I was playing .02/.05, but why not claim my tiny $2.50 bonus, right? So I submit the info about the hand, and this was the email thread that resulted...

EDIT: After 15 emails someone at Ignition finally acknowledged that it qualifies and they credited my account. Their last claim before doing so was that my hand didn't qualify because I DIDN'T show it, which is crazy because it went to showdown. So I was like, which of the contradicting reasons is it then?!

So three days ago I made a post about ignition casino holding up my withdrawal for X amount for 5 days. Here is the link:
https://www.reddit.com/pokecomments/80nnao/beware_of_ignition_casino/
It has been 8 days later and the Bitcoin has yet to be sent to me nor have I received a response from the "withdrawals department" at ignition even though I sent them a screenshot of the bitcoin transactions of the wallet address I provided them 3 days ago. So this morning I reach out to them on live chat to see what is going on. Sorry I dont have the full convo as I was talking to him on my cell phone in bed but here is a screenshot of what I think is some important info:
https://imgur.com/gallery/Kzeaw
Here the Ignition employee is agreeing that they can see I haven't received the funds yet, however for the next 30 mins of the live chat he proceeds to tell me there is nothing that can be done, the money is sent and that is that.
So I proceed to call in and talk to Ronique for an hour and fifteen minutes. The whole time she is telling me some of the same things I have already heard like bitcoin congestion, the money was confirmed sent with an Ignition ref number, nothing can be done that I need to send more info, blah blah... She also tried to explain to me how I shouldnt of sent the bitcoin straight to another site like that and how this is explained on their site in three easy steps. Here is the site with the three easy steps:
https://www.ignitioncasino.eu/bitcoinhelp
You will notice the three easy steps to bitcoin success have a button you can push on the button to make a bitcoin deposit lul and do not make any reference to make a withdraw. I try to explain to her that the bitcoin ledger is not showing this transaction that they continue to say was sent and I try to explain to her that this transaction should show up and confirm what they are telling me but it is not. So after the hour and 15 min she finally tells me to hold on and that she will connect me to a "Bitcoin Expert" (Finally some progress at least, I can talk to someone with some bitcoin knowledge).
I am now on the phone with Keman "Bitcoin Expert" and within the first 2 mins of the conversation he does acknowledge the fact that this bitcoin transaction is not showing up on the bitcoin ledger hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. He then proceeds to tell me he needs to hear back from his withdrawal team and try to get to the bottom of this. I am finally starting to feel like I am not crazy, wow this has been a nightmare. However, it is going to take 24-48hrs to hear another response and now I am back to square one.
Maybe someone can help me understand this but I was under the impression that every single bitcoin transaction should show up on the bitcoin ledger and its pretty much set in stone. Am I correct in thinking this or have I lost my mind?
Update as of 8 pm: I have received the following email “We're contacting you from Ignition Casino Customer Service regarding your withdrawal with Reference Number xxxxxxxxxx.
The withdrawal was successful on our end. Please consult with who you got this address from in order to look into the payment further.
Should you require further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
Best Regards,
Customer Service Ignition Casino [email protected]”
I then proceeded to talk to Tom the ignition supervisor on the phone for the last 40 mins. He proceeded to tell me that the withdrawal team was not telling me to kick rocks and talk to the people who I generated the bitcoin address from in the email but that they were asking for more information for the inquiry in my case. The bit of info they wanted was to know where I got the bitcoin address which they have know for at least 6 days now. I then asked him what the policy was in regards to supervisors stepping in and either crediting an account or just resolving the issue. He informs me he can’t not do anything until the investigation is done. Well from the email it sure sounds like the investigation team was done with my case and if it weren’t for me calling in and asking for more info with a supervisor they would have never asked me where I got my address (such a vital part of the investigation or so it seemed to Tom). So I expressed my concerns and in turn he could do or say nothing expect for “yes sir I agree with you”. Btw he is the third person to acknowledge no evidence on the bitcoin ledger of a transaction. I bet you can’t guess what I am waiting for now??? 24-48 hr response from the withdrawals team LUL!!!!

So If you go on google and search "ignition poker legal states" it tells you that "players that live in any of the following 5 states are not allowed to open up a real money account: New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Nevada." (from www.legalbettingonline.com/pokereviews/ignition.html)
Conversely if you visit the ignition website at ignitioncasino.eu it says in the terms of services that "use of the website and associated services are expressly prohibited from the following states: DE, MD, NJ, NV."
So can someone tell me if real money Ignition is legal in NY or no?
Also, what happens if you play online in an illegal state?

Hi,
Are there any good online poker sites, where you can deposit and withdraw using bitcoin (or another cryptocurrency).
I am looking for:

• Accepts players from EU.
• Beginner friendly, i.e. tables with low stakes.
• Preferably not too much registration hazzle. I do not mind giving name and address, but do not want to set myself up for identity theft by handing over too sensitive info/documents.

ignitioncasino.eu was recommended, but does not appear to accept European customers
swcpoker.eu is famously bitcoin-friendly, but their client cannot log in, which may be why their web-page boasts of 0 players on 0 tables. And I hear they only have high-stakes tables.
888poker.com appears to have dropped bitcoin support.
Any other suggestions?

I am looking for a sportsbook that also has a poker room. I like to play a little bit of poker on the side and am looking to join up with a sportsbook for the football season. I am in the States fwiw. Anybody know any good sites where I can do both?

Can someone just double check my work here, I'm assuming the websites I'm using are legit but I just want to make sure I'm putting the right numbers in the right places. Ignition blackjack which contributes at a 30% rate to other casino games.
https://www.ignitioncasino.eu/bonus-terms-and-conditions
https://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/calculato
Then I plugged in 8 decks - hits on soft 17 - can double on any 2 cards - 3 - no - no - yes - none - 3-2 -
Then I went to
http://www.casinooctopus.com/house-edge-calculato
I have $205 casino bonus and plugged in
205 - 166.66 - .65 - 205 - and it projected a $17 loss after bonuses. :( If I change the blackjack to 4 deck, I win $10.
I know it's not much but I enjoy blackjack and if I can make $10 EV I don't mind a 200-300 dollar swing in either direction if variance owns me.
The 166.66 I got by dividing 50 by .3 which is the contribution rate from blackjack games.
In order to complete the bonuses, I need to spend $10,295 in the casino.
I was considering doing $10 bets and just trying to grind out this promo but it looks -EV. Does anyone know the amount of decks used in Ignition blackjack, OR know a game with a lower loss rate than .5%?
Anyway to make this +EV? Let me know!!!
I'm sure there's other people on ignition who have bonus casino funds they'd consider grinding out. Even if mine was -$20 which it looks like it is I would probably do it anyway just for fun.

Thank you for considering my referrals! I have links to credit cards, banks, and other great programs that can earn you over $5000 in cash, rebates, and rewards.
