Delaying my verification after winning


6 years ago
On 10/17/2019 I requested a withdraw of $913 in which I was prompted would take 24-48 hours before I was credited. 48 hours later after submitting my request I call bovada to get answers on why I have not been paid, remind you I have been gambling on this website for a couple years now. Upon speaking to a representative I was told I needed to verify my account which I didn’t understand because I already verified my account when I first began playing on the website in which they asked me to verify my Identification card a credit in which I did and everything went through as it was supposed to. I was told during the that tike that I would only be asked to verify my account once. I asked the representative what is the purpose of me validating my account for second time this time they wanted me to verify my address in which they told me so that my funds aren’t being sent to someone else which sounds like complete bull due to the fact I receive my funds through bitcoin. Long story short the same day I was told to verify my account for the second time which was on 10/17/2019 I submitted my identification card and my bank statement and then was prompted it will take 24-48 hours for the financial department to verify my information and today is 10/24/2019 and my account has not been verified and now I am calling and asking what is the hold up all every representative is telling me is that my documents haven’t been verified and that 24-48 hour time frame is just an approximate time and they have no other answers for me besides that. I feel as though this isn’t fair because why wait until I request a withdrawal to have my account verified and why do I need to be verified more then once it feels like this is some kind of stalling scam from this casino and it isn’t right because I am a customer that plays often and I’ve lost more money with this casino then I have won. The customer service is absolutely horrible, they have no answers to why I am being delayed.

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 .
