Account hacked, but casino refused to cooperate


on 11-11-15 I deposited two amounts one for $200 and the other on 11-12-15 for $200. I won and I asked to receive my funds by check. one for the amount of $2705 and the other for the amount of $2950. I received both emails one with the reference number of 67417862 for the amount of $2705 and the other reference number 67455756 for $3,000 ($2950 minus the $50 fee). The last time I logged into my account was the morning of 11-12-15 around 10:30am when I asked for the second refund amount. I received the confirmation email with the withdrawal request and it said it would be sent to be reviewed. I then headed out to the store around 12:00 pm and was out until 4pm or so. between that time I lost my phone at grocery store or when I went to put in gas I'm not exactly sure but it was lost here in chowchilla, ca. I called to report my phone lost but was advised in order to track my phone it cannot be disconnected right away. I filed a police report and that was it. the next morning I logged into my computer to check my emails and I had three emails from bovada. one said my request for the second withdrawal was approved and to wait 7 business days. the other two was saying my password was changed and one from the deposit assistance team saying my deposit did not go through. I was not signed into my bovada account and I even had cleared my internet history like I always do. I never changed my password and I never logged into my account again after I requested my last refund. I emailed bovada back this morning right away saying I did not ask to change my password and they emailed me back to call them. I let them know I did not have a phone and needed to wait until my carrier opened to go purchase a phone. I was able to call them only to be told my refund request were both cancelled and were placed to be used as credits on my account. I was told my password was changed and the request were all cancelled from the the same mobile device around 1am on 11-13-15. I explained my situation and how I was not the one who changed my password and cancelled my request. I was told that the request were done from atwater, ca and I live in chowchilla, ca. Atwater is about 45 mins from here and I was no were near Atwater on the day my phone was lost. they told me all the different games my credits were used to be played and said it was consistent with the ones I played. I only played greedy goblins that was the only one I played on 11-11 and 11-12. I told the "financial department" I had filed a police report for my lost phone is someone found it and turned it in. She told me not to tell the police I played at bovada or anything about bovada. I don't see why this would be a problem I have nothing to hide if anything it is them that has something to hide. How do I not know they are just lying amount the balance being used on my account and them not just taking my balance so they won't pay me for the amounts. So here I am extremely upset they did not want to help me and made me feel like a liar and a thief when I am the victim here. Please help me

Typical so what you are saying is because it was done from the mobile device that was lost then there is nothing you can do. So my issue will not be resolved is that correct? I called and asked bovada if they will not be writing me both checks that I won then they should at least give me back the two deposits I did. Of course they said no they will not be issuing me a refund either. I will be seeking further action with the media and my bank. Bovada must be exposed and I will make sure of this

I also did not have any saved emails from bovada. I did however have my email account on my phone. As most people with a smart phone do as well. The only way someone could have found out I had a deposit coming was from the confirmation email bovada had sent me later on that afternoon after my phone was no longer in my possession, I assuming. I know people say never to assume but bovada is assuming I was the one that cancelled both of the cash withdrawals. The only thing that I do not understand is how bovada thinks I cancelled the withdrawals to use the credits. Why would someone that has two large checks in "your name" have to cancel the withdrawals if you know they are in "your name" and you will be able to cash them. This makes no since to me.

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.
