Did not receive my $5,000 wire transfer


Middle of August requested withdrawal of over $5000. Was approved within 2 days. Said it would be in my bank in 10-15 business days. On Sept. 5 I received an email that the transfer had been returned to Bovada "due to incorrect account information". I asked them what the problem is but no response that day. Also charged me $50 return fee? So I resubmitted the request on the 5th of September and included a voided check with all the correct information on it, and included bank address, swift code etc. It was once again approved within 2 days. After 15 business days I contacted them and told them had still not received only to be told it was an estimate (the 10-15 business days). I contacted them again yesterday and told them it was business day 19 now and they assured me the money would be arriving soon. Wrote them again this morning only to be told that they showed the money had been put in my account and I should send them a bank statement! I wrote back and told them I definitely would not send them my whole bank statement, that was confidential and to supply me with the tracking number so I could follow up with my bank and they could investigate. Just now they wrote me and said "wire transfer had been returned to them for incorrect inform­ati­on"........and had charged me another $50 return fee. I can assure you - they have a copy of my voided check that I have used for years. This is some sort of scam and I told them I could see they have no intention of paying me. This has been going on since around the 16th of August. I am beyond discouraged and disgusted. Thank you.

I am waiting for the money. They said could be 10 to 15 business days. The original request was Aug. 15 but because of all the issues the final request was Oct. 5. Hoping it doesn't take that long since it has been such a long time. Will let you know when I get the wire transfer.

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 .
