Bodog Poker Latin America Becomes Ignition Poker

Bodog Poker Becomes Ignition Poker

This week, Bodog Poker Latam players received a message in their inboxes stating that the brand would be starting a new alliance with a gaming giant in the United States.

“After more than 30 years as Bodog, we are excited to begin a new partnership with a vibrant global brand: Ignition Poker.”

For players, the change will be seamless:

• On February 18, Bodog Poker will become Ignition Poker. There will be no impact on player accounts or balances. All profiles and settings will be preserved.
• Users can use the same login to access Ignition Poker. Creating new accounts will not be necessary.
• There will be no changes to payment methods, deposit and withdrawal limits, or player promotions.
• The software will be updated to Ignition Poker, so players will need to download and install the new version.
• Bodog Poker promises players a refreshed experience, with a new look and exclusive launch promotions.

Traffic will not be affected by this change, as the site will continue to share tables with other PaiWangLuo network skins (Bovada, Ignition Casino) that serve US players.

Why is Bodog Poker closing?

The official website states that "the owner of the Bodog brand has decided to discontinue its use in the entertainment industry."

The Bodog brand has undergone many changes over time. It was founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Calvin Ayre and achieved great success in the US market, landing Ayre on the cover of Forbes magazine's Billionaires issue in 2006.

In 2020, Bodog expanded into new Asian markets with the Bodog88 brand and even offered its services in India. However, these ventures were short-lived and were quickly shut down.

Today, Calvin is involved in real estate and investments, and it's likely that he, who distanced himself from the online gambling business but retained control of the Bodog brand, is taking a new step in his professional career. 

Ignition Poker Latam

We've investigated, and Ignition Poker will initially maintain the operating model that Bodog Poker has been using, opening its doors in the following countries:

• Argentina
• Mexico
• Peru
• Brazil
• Chile
• Ecuador
• Guatemala
• Bolivia
• Dominican Republic
• Honduras
• Nicaragua
• Paraguay
• El Salvador
• Venezuela

There are rumors on the website that the site might operate in Colombia, but unfortunately, the country is not on the initial list.

Regarding promotions, we have confirmed that there will be special events for the launch of the new brand in Latin America, and we are awaiting information on the welcome bonus, rakeback, VIP program, and more.
