11 thousand jackpot won and not paid


1 year ago

Hello,

I created an account with Bovada. Before depositing any money, I tried to speak with an agent because of the reviews I had seen about withdrawal issues. I told the agent that I didn’t want any problems if I won, and he assured me that I had nothing to worry about.

On March 12, 2025, I won a $11,000 jackpot. When I tried to withdraw $6,000, my request was put under review. The next morning, I received an email stating that my account was disabled due to "double sign-up." I was shocked because I only had one account. They then told me it was because of my mother’s account. I explained that these were two separate accounts, but they insisted I needed to prove it.

Over the past few weeks, I have sent them everything they requested—birth certificates, photos of myself, and pictures of my driver's license held near my face. After 10 days, I received an email from Bovada’s investigation team stating that my account had been enabled. I was extremely happy because my wife is pregnant and due to give birth in a month.

However, when I tried to log in—boom—my account was still disabled. I immediately contacted an agent for help, but when I asked to speak with a supervisor, he refused and claimed he could resolve the issue himself. Surprise, surprise—he had no clue what was going on and made me restart the verification process, even though I had already completed it and proved everything. The investigation team had already confirmed that there was no connection between the accounts and that I was legitimate.

Now, they are putting me through this stress all over again for no reason. I am extremely frustrated. I have so many worries on my mind. My financial situation is terrible, and my son is due in one month. This jackpot was my hope.

After everything I’ve been through, I was told my account was enabled and good to go, yet I still have to deal with this nightmare. I have no words. I am still trying to work with them, but they refuse to let me speak with a supervisor.

I will keep you updated on whether Bovada can be trusted or not. Right now, they are playing with my emotions to the point where I fear I may fall into depression because of this experience.

Bovada Account Disabled and Verification Pending for Over 10 Days With No Updates
My Bovada account was disabled on May 20, 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 10 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 $11,000 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 internet bill I submitted as proof of address. However, the address on my driver's license is different, as it has not yet been updated. Despite this, I provided all requested documentation immediately and have fully cooperated with the verification process.

I understand that verification reviews may take some time. However, I believe that more than 10 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.

Confiscated winnings earned

Hello,

I wrote this formal complaint on 3-15-26 after escalating over $3,000 of confiscated funds taken away from my account respectfully and was told by Bovada's dispute complaint department a response would be had no later than 10 business days, yet here we are roughly 90 days later and to no avail/no response period! This despite several attempts to resolve 5-30-26.

Formal Dispute of Refer-a-Friend Confiscation

To Whom It May Concern,

I am formally disputing the confiscation of over $3,000 from my Bovada account related to an alleged Refer-a-Friend violation. But no specific clause or term has been identified.

My referral is a legitimate, separate individual who does not live with me and has never used the same device, or Wi-Fi network.

Despite requesting clarification, Bovada has not identified the specific clause in the Terms of Service or Refer-a-Friend program that was allegedly violated.

Please provide the following:

The exact section of the Terms & Conditions that was violated

The evidence used to determine this violation


The justification for confiscating both my winnings and my referral deposit

If no specific contractual violation can be identified, I respectfully request that my funds be reinstated immediately.Winnings and my original referral deposit. Or please escalate to your investigations department for formal review. Lastly

If necessary, I will escalate this matter through formal dispute channels and public complaint services if to no avail.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

My account remains open and fully operable yet Bovada confiscated my deposits and winnings, despite again my several attempts to receive clarification of so called violation of “refer a friend”terms .
