Accounts similar to mine


3 years ago

They sent me an email saying that my account had been disabled for accounts similar to mine. I had deposited 1700 dollars, after some winning & losing, my balance was 2500. After reading all these horror stories about “bonus abuse” and them only enforcing it if you win, I just want my deposit money back at this point. If the email address I used or the bets I placed were a problem, I should have gotten a notice, a warning, or at least a chance to correct it. Right now it’s being investigated, I’m not quite sure what they are going to say, but I can’t imagine it’s going to be good. I’ve read about how this has happened to others, about if the other accounts don’t respond that they will keep you in limbo, basically keeping your deposit & winnings. I wish this won’t be the case with me. I started on bovada relatively new, my grandson is the one that helped me set up my account. He lives in the same building as me and we are very close. After reading about the terms & services I can see why they think it’s 1 person using different accounts. But it’s actually 2 different people in the same building but in different apartments. I never knew I was breaking a rule. But I also feel that If it were a problem they should have stepped in before I even deposited. Because I’m sure if I lost all my balance I wouldn’t have gotten flagged. A nice customer rep told me that I would get my money back but I’m not so sure now after reading all the reviews. My grandson and his friends have spent 10s of thousands of dollar on Bovada and I would hope that they don’t do this to their clients.

Past 48 hours now after I sent it my verification information. Still no response. Can you please escalate this to your escalation division/department? Or can you give me the escalation email?

Hello Bovada, I appreciate that you responded faster through here. Yes I turned in said documents, currently waiting on a response & explanation. I’m brain storming but I actually don’t know what I did wrong. Hopefully this could be fixed. Thanks again.

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 .
