How I know they are connected
Reported by gambling trade press. Each point below is backed by a source listed at the end of the page.
- Ignition Casino is owned by Lynton Limited, which also held the Kahnawake-licensed domains IgnitionCasino.eu, CafeCasino.lv and Slots.lv (trade press, August 2016).
- In 2016 Bovada moved all its poker players to Ignition, and the two sites shared poker tables during the switch. Analysts described the deal as a probable transfer between sister companies.
- A Bodog spokesperson said at the time that Bovada was "wholly owned and run by Kahnawake interests" and had no link to Bodog's founder. Nobody has publicly confirmed who owns Bovada, so I treat Bovada as linked to the group rather than proven to share its owner.
Compare the sister sites head to head
Why sister sites matter to you
Sites in the same group usually share a cashier, a support team and a player database. In practice:
- Problems travel. If one site is slow to pay or quick to void bonuses, its sister sites tend to behave the same way. Judge the group, not just the logo.
- One bonus, one person. Group terms often limit welcome bonuses to one account per person, household or IP address across all sister sites.
- Closures and self-exclusion carry over. A ban or self-exclusion at one site can apply across the group.
- Switching rarely solves a dispute. If your withdrawal is stuck, opening an account at a sister site will not speed it up.

Can I claim the welcome bonus at every sister site?
Check the terms of each site before you try. Casinos in the same group share player databases, and their terms often limit bonuses to one account per person, household or IP address. Breaking those rules can lead to confiscated winnings.
If one sister site bans me, can I play at the others?
Usually not. Sites in the same group typically share the account checks behind them, so a closure or self-exclusion at one site can apply to the others. If you self-excluded for your own protection, please keep that protection: free help is available 24/7 at 1-800-MY-RESET.
