Bovada Verification Delay


4 years ago

I opened an account with Bovada and promptly won $7500. When trying to withdraw, I was asked to provide verification documents and I did immediately. I was given a 24-48 hour time frame for resolution. It has now been 3 weeks with no resolution. I have contacted them many times to determine if anything additional is needed. They have not provided any details on the reason for the investigation.

I have received the $2,000 deposit funds back.

So in the end, 5 weeks after turning $2,000 into $9,500, I have received $2,000 back and gotten $7,500 taken away from me with little reason.

Note to others: Avoid Bovada. They are slow, non-transparent, rude and unfair.

Doozy of an update here.

After four weeks of me trying to contact Bovada, I finally get a call to discuss the account. The associate on the phone is incredibly rude and condescending, claiming that I knowingly violated an obscure rule that you can't bet more than 50% of your bonus on any single bet. Not to mention he wondered why I hadn't called earlier (there is no phone number on the site to call and I asked the online chat many times for a number to call). After much back and forth I am told any won funds are being seized and I can only get my deposit back (meaning out of my $9,500 balance I'm receiving $2,000).

To get this deposit back, I have to send a bitcoin address to a customer service person on the chat. After doing so, I'm told I need to wait 10-15 BUSINESS DAYS to get the funds (after already waiting 28 days to be contacted). After being told it would take 24-48 hours to resolve my account, suffice it to say I'm very skeptical about this timeline actually happening.

I have contacted Bovada again for an update without success. They will only say that the account is still under verification.

The original timeline was 24-48 hours. It has now been 3.5 weeks. No explanation of what is being verified.

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.
