Room-by-room breakdown
Bovada vs Ignition: the real tie-breakers
Bovada and Ignition share the PaiWangLuo player pool, anonymous tables, Zone Poker format, and crypto cashier. Bovada is usually cleaner if you want iOS or Android access and a slightly higher trust score. Ignition is better if the larger poker bonus matters and you only need desktop or web play.
Pick Bovada if mobile access matters
Bovada lists Windows, Mac, web, iOS, and Android support. That matters if you expect to check tournaments or play shorter sessions away from a desktop.
Pick Ignition if the bonus is the hook
Ignition's poker welcome bonus is larger on paper. Before chasing it, check the current rollover rules and whether the games you play contribute enough volume.
Do not expect a different player pool
Both rooms are PaiWangLuo skins with anonymous tables and Zone Poker. If your goal is softer games, compare time of day and stakes rather than assuming one lobby is separate.
