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.

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.
