Comcast Denies Bovada Block
Key Takeaways
  • The issue reported yesterday of Comcast users being unable to access the Bovada site is not the result of Comcast blocking a poker room.
  • An email from Comcast’s National Engineering & Technical Operations denies their responsibility.

The issue reported yesterday of Comcast users being unable to access the Bovada site is not the result of Comcast blocking a poker room.

An email from Comcast’s National Engineering & Technical Operations denies their responsibility.

“These claims are incorrect; Comcast is not blocking that or any other site and would not do so,” the email, shared by a customer, reads.

“When we observe similar issues it has been a problem with the site owner’s authoritative DNS servers or records,” it adds.

Bovada themselves have tweeted that the problem should be resolved within 24 hours.

The Comcast email links to a site where users can validate DNS data to determine if a site is blocked. Bovada.lv shows up as accessible on Comcast servers.
