Account disabled with pending $2,050 bitcoin withdrawal


Requested a withdrawal via Bitcoin in the amount of $2050 on May 31, 2019. Waited 24-48 hours for my withdrawal to be approve but it wasn’t, then I went and try logging into my bovada account but I couldn’t, it kept saying that my account has been disabled and I should contact customer service and I also received an email stating that my account has been disabled because it has come to their attention that there are other accounts using information similar to mine. In order for them to verify each account's individuality they require that I submit a piece of government issued identification as well as a signed and completed copy of the Credit Card Verification Form. Submitted the verification forms the same day. I have been advised that this process should take the same 24-48 hours to be review. On June 5, 2019 I called to ask for an update, and they apologized and told me to please wait another 24-48 hours and thank you for your patience. On June 6, 2019 I received another saying “Thanks for sending us your documentation. For us to complete your verification, there are additional documents we require that have yet to be submitted. Please resend the following documents: - Bank Statement or Bank Letter showing Bank Name and Logo, Card Number.” I submitted exactly what they asked for and they told me that it will take another 24-48 hours to be review again. On June 7, 2019 I received another email again stating that “Thanks for sending us your documentation. For us to complete your verification, there are additional documents we require that have yet to be submitted. Please resend the following documents: - Copy of a running Bank Statement showing the date, your name, banks name and logo, also your address”. So I went and submitted my monthly bank statement with my address showing on the top right corner and the TD bank logo showing. I was once advised again that this process should take the same 24-48 hours to be review. Called June 9, 2019 to get an update and the rep told me that he seen in the system that they are requesting that I submit a proof of address so I should send in a bill or letter with my name and address within the past 60 days. I told the rep that I wasn’t sending in a proof of address because the address on my state ID matches the address on my bank statement and that is my most current bank statement from April 24, 2019 to May 24, 2019 and I told him to connect me to the financial service, spoke to financial service and they told me that my documents are still under review they can’t give me an exact timeframe as to when my verification will be complete. Here we are on June 10, 2019 with no update. And at this point I just need them to release my fund, once they do release my fund they can disable the account. Too much run around for nothing to little amount of money.

Today is now Monday June 17,2019. Nobody from your service team has reached out to me concerning my account been disabled or me getting my $2050 bitcoins withdrawal. I called on a daily basis to get an update on my account & I get told the same thing every single day “that my account is still under review and the documents I sent you guys hasn't been reviewed yet and how I'm in the cube to be review and once the verification is complete I will be contacted” but yet it been three weeks three days since I was told to verify my account and I should send in my confidential documents. Submitted my document (State ID, my most recent bank statement). I just don’t understand how it taking your all this times to print out an email and review it. It’s about to be four weeks since I put in an request for a withdrawal.It’s just so frustrating how it only takes a minute or less to deposit fund on Bovada account but once you win it take forever to get your money that you actually win. Your have to do better then this, it’s just so sickening and frustrating.

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 .
