I made a bovada account on 1/29. I deposited about 5000 to play with. Then I was able to turn it into about 15000. On 1/31 I received the email saying “ Hello Kennedi,

Your identity must be confirmed in order to fulfill our account verification requirements.

Have your Government ID and your computer/mobile camera ready to complete this process. We kindly ask you to log into your Bovada account and verify your identity. Click HERE to learn how.

then when I tried to sign in to my account to complete the verification it says my account was disabled and then I received another email saying
“Hello

At this time I had lost my drivers license but still had access to my paper license to I submitted the doccuments with the paper license and got this email back “ Hello,

Then on 2/8 I resubmitted with my passport and bank statement. Then on 2/10 I got the email “ Hello,

So everyday I’ve been contacting support for an update but I’ve been told every time that they can’t provide any details until they investigation I complete. And to stay patient. Then yesterday I was on chat with a supervisor and was told my bank statement wasn’t valid it is a cashapp bank statement issued from Sutton bank. Because I don’t have any utility bills due to me being 18. Then I contacted support again and was told by a supervisor that they got the passport and selfie but there was a “note on my account saying that my bank statement pdf couldn’t be opened. So I resubmitted it as a jpeg and haven’t heard anything back. It’s been almost a month and I’m very frustrated. I need my money. I only have 1 account and have not done anything wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.also I’ve received the same email 4 times. Saying that my documents have been received and to wait till investigation is concluded. I cannot wait any longer I need my money. Please help

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 .
