Account disabled after withdraw request 1k


2 years ago

I joined Bovada a couple of weeks ago and on 9/10 I requested a withdrawal for 1k (2k left on account).

I got an email saying my account was disabled and needed to send in an ID/selfie/utility bill.. I immediately replied to the email and did that. The email I received was from invest­iga­tio­ns@­bov­ada.lv and the email said to reply to it. I contacted CS to confirm it had been received and the agent told me yes it was and this would be resolved within 48 hours.

The next day I checked with CS again and they said they didn't receive it. They asked me to resend it to the same email address. After I asked many times to please confirm which email I would send the documents to... finally they told me it would have to be sent to verifi­cat­ion­@bo­vada.lv The agent then told me it was received while on chat. So just to recap.. Bovada sent me an email from invest­iga­tio­ns@­bov­ada.lv and asked me to reply to it with the documents. However, the correct email they want you to send it to is not on the original email.

It took 2 different agents to finally tell me that it needs to be sent to the other email, verifi­cat­ion­@bo­vada.lv Now why is that? Is it because most people would just reply to the initial email and then it never gets followed up on? I asked very specifically why that is.. and they said "We received your documents". That's not an answer but regardless, it has now been well over 48 hours and my account is still disabled and they confirmed they received my documents.

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 .
