Account Disabled with no reason given


3 years ago

I have been using Bovada for 5+ years and in January 2023 I deposited 575 and my an hour later my account was disabled. I received an email from Bovada asking to get in touch with them as soon as possible which I did. I talked to their live agents on chat and asked why my account was disabled. I was told that they couldn't tell me over text and that they would need to speak over the phone and they would call me within 24-48 hours. That call never came so I talked to chat again and was told the same story. I find their behavior fraudulent, there is no reason they cannot tell me in an email or in the chat why my account has been disabled and where my $575 is. I broke no rules on their website and feel disrespected by their customer service.

So I called Bovada today and got a similar run around. After giving them my pin number and birthdate, I asked to be transfered to the financial services department as instructed by the Bovada chat agent. I was put on hold for 15 minutes and then told that department wasn't answering their phone and to try calling back later. It's now been over a week since Bovada told me they would call me within 48 hours, and if nobody is available when I call, how exactly am I supposed to get this issue resolved over the phone? I think it's ridiculous that I have to jump through all these hoops and wait all this time when I did nothing wrong and my account was disabled for no reason. I still haven't been told why it was disabled. I feel like I'm being jerked around by Bovada who has no intention of helping me re-enable my account.

Hi there! We apologize for any inconvenience caused by your account status. For the security of your account, it was temporarily disabled. Once we speak to you via phone, we'll be able to provide more details. Your call request was submitted but due to high volumes right now is the cause for not receiving that call back within the estimated timeframe. We apologize for any inconvenience caused while you await this call. An alternate resolution was provided earlier today so we hope to hear from you. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

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.
