Disabled 5400 account


3 years ago

I learned about Bovada after talking about prize picks with some friends. I did not necessarily like the idea of already having the stats being chosen for me so I googled sites that I could use to bet on basketball, US and international. Bovada was number 1 on multiple sites and had a high rating so I decided I would use Bovada. After signing up I decided not to use the bonus codes because of the withdrawal rules attached and I wasn't sure if I would even use Bovada long term so I wanted to always have access to withdraw my money. Turns out I ended up really liking the platform and using it to bet on random games daily. I used Bovada for about 2-3 weeks and then Bovada ask me to verify my account before making a withdrawal and I was very understanding of this. In my mind there was no rush to verify the account because NBA playoffs are still being played and I had no intentions of making a withdrawal soon. I decided to change the email I was using on my account to a more personal email that I use for other subscriptions etc. Everything worked smoothly I was sent a verification code to my phone, profile updated. The next morning I decided to try logging in to maybe catch some FIBA games and I receive a message saying my account was disabled. Immediately I tried finding a number online to speak with someone but all lines could not connect due to covid??? After realizing the only way to contact Bovada is by email I email customer service who asked for 3 documents, photo of government issued ID, a photo of myself with the ID, as well as a utility bill with my name and address displayed. I was told "thanks for submitting you documents your account is under investigation... 24-48 hours. Since this day I have been locked out of my account for over 2 weeks now with no information other than 24-48 hours. I'm confused and very upset about the account being taken without notice and I can't seem to get a hold of anyone. I really just want a phone call not even complaining about the time because I have worked customer service for a company and we were a team of 6 and things got crazy at times. But to take 5k away without a phone call when I really have done nothing wrong and provided all documents necessary for verification. I wish they would complete the verification process and security process before you deposit your money and gamble. The games should be the gamble not the site. Other than this issue I really enjoyed the platform I've read about people getting their money and account closed, I would be satisfied with receiving my money but honestly I still want to use the site, it's a great site just this portion is very difficult as I see now I am not the only one dealing with this.

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.
