Account disabled upon withdrawal request


I am a very active Bovada Player and i like their sportsbook for many reasons. In the meantime, I requested a $3000 withdraw through Bitcoin (Because that is a most faster way) on 1/1/2019 and the withdraw has not been approved until now. The e-mail noted and I know the request would be reviewed within 24 - 48 hours for approval. As of today(January 17th), 480 hours after requesting the withdraw, the request is still awaiting approval. I chatted/emailed and called customer service many times. I just kept hearing the same answer from them that withdraw request was still under review and it would be accepted soon. And about 3 days ago, I received an email from Financ­­ia­l­S­er­­vic­­es­@­b­ov­­ada.lv instead of Customer Servic­­e(­S­e­rv­­ice­­@b­o­v­ad­­a.lv) and I noticed my account was disabled. I called them on the phone, the reason why my account was suspended that my account is under investigation as it was opened at the same address as another account on a different name. Actually, I've been living in the same apartment as my friend who also uses the same address. I have no other address proof to show. I can understand the terms but i should have a leverage to use this account and i only know they disable it with my $1000 bitcoin deposit stuck and $2000 in winnings. I am disgusted they try to find a reason to discard withdrawl if you find a way to win. I kindly request this is addressed at the earliest. If the address was an issue how did that allow me to create an account in the first place and start playing. If i had lost money; would you have had no issues. I am using this forum after many e-mails and conflicting information being provided in hopes that this can be resolved in a trust-building way without unnecessary additional internal processing delays.

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 .
