Account frozen with $7,000 requested withdrawal, no progress for over a month


9 years ago
My account with a little over $7,000 in it has been frozen for over a month and I can't get any updates from the casino except to say that my account is under review. I had deposited $1,000 with bitcoin and claimed a 50% bonus. I had completed the wagering requirements through a mixture of blackjack and sports bets, which was allowed for this bonus. I did quite well as you can see from the account balance, but I didn't even get a chance to request a withdrawal as my account was preemptively locked.

It started on March 22nd with a request for a copy of my driver's license, which I provided. I was then asked to call in to talk to them on the phone, which I did, but the representative after asking me a bunch of verification questions said that I should just wait to get an email with further requests. No email ever came so I checked in again and this time they said they didn't actually need anything and would just be in touch with me later after reviewing my account. After hearing nothing I checked in against on March 31st, and was again told to sit tight as they were still reviewing. April 7th, I checked in again and got the same response. On April 16th I finally got a response by email, but all it said was to call in again. I promptly called and was asked more verification and background questions, but then I was told to just wait for another email so I'm just back in the same loop. April 24th I contacted again and get the same response. Now here we are on May 2nd and I've still heard nothing.

6 weeks later and I'm exactly where I started with no progress, no idea of what Bovada is trying to verify, no requests for further information. They say nothing and can't give any updates.

My account is still under review
My account screenshot shows both my balance and the amount “Available to withdraw” as $7.1k.”

I submitted verification documentation to Bovada. Their Verification Team acknowledged receiving it and stated that my account is under review. However, their response provided no expected completion date, no specific explanation for the investigation, and no clarification about whether additional documents are required. They also stated that no further details would be available until the review is completed.

I understand that account verification may be necessary, and I am willing to cooperate with legitimate requests. My concern is the lack of a clear timeline and actionable information concerning the review and access to my funds.

I am requesting that Bovada:

1. Confirm whether my submitted documentation is sufficient and identify any outstanding requirements.
2. Provide a clear explanation of the unresolved issue, to the extent they can disclose it.
3. Provide an estimated completion date and complete the review promptly.
4. Confirm the status of my $7.1k balance and allow withdrawal once verification is successfully completed, or provide a specific written explanation for any restriction.

I have attached screenshots showing the balance listed as available to withdraw and Bovada’s acknowledgment of my verification documents.

If this matter is not resolved through AskGamblers’ mediation process, I intend to file a formal complaint with the Florida Attorney General’s Office, including the relevant account records, verification correspondence, and documentation of my $7.1k balance. Sorry in advance to anybody that uses them in Florida because I know by doing this people In Florida won’t be able to use bovada anymore

Account disabled and verification pending for over 6 days

My Bovada account was disabled on September 12th 2026

Shortly after my account was disabled, I received a verification request from Bovada. As soon as I received the email, I submitted all requested documents, including:

1. Front and back copies of my government issued ID

2. A photo of myself holding my ID next to my face

3. A full page proof of address document dated within the last 60 days

I submitted all of these documents immediately and have fully cooperated with the verification process.

It has now been more than 6 days since I submitted the requested documents, and I have not received any update regarding the status of my verification or my account. I have contacted Bovada for an update, but I have not received any meaningful information about when the review will be completed.

In addition, there is approximately $9,990 currently in my account balance. Because of the significant amount of funds being held while the verification review remains pending, I am increasingly concerned about the lack of communication and the extended delay.

I would also like to clarify that the address on my Bovada account matches the address shown on the cricket phone bill I submitted as proof of address. However, they have asked me for a hard copy so i went and sent that then they asked for a bank statement went ahead and sent that Despite this, I provided all requested documentation immediately and have fully cooperated with the verification process. And now they keep asking for adress proof but state that they have recieved it and its crazy because i keep receing an adress proof request of a different type of bill …

I understand that verification reviews may take some time. However, I believe that more than 7 days without any update is unreasonable, especially considering that all requested documents were submitted immediately.

I am requesting that Bovada provide an update on the status of my verification review and, if everything has been successfully verified, restore access to my account as soon as possible.

Thank you for your assistance.
