Account Disabled for Phone number verification
Bovada account asked for telephone verification/confirmation via text. Bovada did not prevent me from making deposits without the verification, nor did it prevent me from making bets. The phone number on file was old, so I could not verify the number via text messaging. The site had no option to change/update my phone number.
Contacted Bovada customer service to change the phone number on file. Service representative verified account using my personal pin number, Date of Birth, email, address. When I asked to change the number, the rep asked for the phone number currently on file. I had since forgotten this old number, and since the account did not list the number in the account profile, there was no point of reference except memory, which I had forgotten.
They disabled my account and instructed me to send photo ID via email with a picture of me holding it. I have not heard back, nor did I receive an email confirming they received it.
1. Why would my full phone number on my account not be visible to me in my profile? If its part of my profile, i would think I could see it and manage it.
2. Why after verifying my account with customer service via 4 digit pin, Date of Birth etc, would they not allow me to manage my account by changing my number? The customer service specifically asked these questions to verify my account and me, yet they would not assist any further unless I gave them the number on file, which was so old I could not recall.
3. Why allow deposits but not withdraws due to the phone number verification. At least dont allow deposits and withdrawls if its indeed an issue. Customers should not be allowed to dump money into this site if they cannot withdrawl due to a phone number that is not even changeable apparently.
4. Why disable an account you just verified with a customers personal pin number and other personal data.
I am now disabled and my 1 thousand dollars in limbo. Hopefully it gets resolved.
