Account disabled after my withdrawal request


3 years ago
I recently became interested in sports gambling with all my friends doing it and I created an account with a referral from one of my friends that uses bovada. I deposited 350$ and used the bovada 75% welcome bonus. Total account balance was just under 600.00 after crypto fees.
Rollover was around 2,990$.

After a fun weekend of gambling on different sports I was lucky enough to have met the rollover requirement. I requested a withdraw of 2,000$ and left about 229.00 in my account to continue on with.

Requested withdrawal was pending for 6 hours before I got a notification my account was disabled and under review.

Called customer service, they don’t take phone calls anymore(red flag) contacted the automated message system and was told they don’t know why and all I can do is wait for an email.(red flag)

Asked to speak with the security department so I could help clear up any issues. They are unreachable and don’t have a number or a person to message online(red flag)

I was told the review takes 24-48 hours but in the same sentence was told no more than a week. So what is it ? Seeing numerous folks mention weeks and months with no response.

I was hesitant to get into gambling online for reasons like this. I have 350.00 of my own money taken from me and now my friend feels terrible over it like it is their fault.

Is that the bovada businsss model ? I’m new to online gambling so is disabling new players accounts and seizing their money how it works with no customer service support or answers ?

I seriously want to cry. Bovada may be the reason I never gamble again after just starting. I work really hard for my money and it has been taken.

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.
