In an attempt to justify his actions, Vaughan then explains how Ignition operates “anonymous” player policy – no names, just random numbers for each player, that change each time you sit down. “It seemed pretty common, and not a huge deal,” he told viewers in his vlog, admitting it was “still obviously breaking the TOS but it was just sort of a known thing.” He was allowed to cash out a $16k win, but had his account closed.Īfter moving to Nevada, Vaughan decides to “circumvent” the rules by playing on a friend’s account, as many others were doing according to Vaughan. He then relates how he had previously been caught playing against the site’s terms of service, which disallows play from Maryland, Vaughan’s previous home location. Two months later, and Vaughan was back with a tale of self-inflicted woe, starting with the epic statement: “I lost it all.” Taking down the $1million GTD “Monthly Milly” on February 21st this year had Vaughan celebrating – turning his $535 buy-in into a monster $136,686 score.
Playing on someone else’s account is against the T&C’s of almost every reputable online cardroom, but the Maryland amateur thought he could circumvent the rules on the unregulated Ignition network.
