Fake chargebacks


I've gotten two fake chargebacks from Bovada the emails came exactly one month after the other to the day and the exact minute.

The first time I paid to bring my account out of the negative not knowing what was going on they told me the refund was being processed and would be in my bank account in 7 days (refund never came) and the exactly one month later to the exact minute I get another email about my account being disabled due to a chargeback and to contact customer service.

There was no chargeback this time I looked into it and my bank had never issued a chargeback in the history of my account since opening it, they also told me Bovada wouldn’t be able to see a chargeback it would be there credit card processor who would be the ones who could actually see it so when they told me a refund was on the way after I paid for first fake chargeback they were lying because they wouldn’t be able to see that either only the credit card processor that they hire through third party would.

I was told that their credit card processor is lying to them and claiming chargebacks are happening that aren’t and to cover their loses immediately pulling money from their players accounts who aren’t doing anything but depositing money to play and having their processor steal the deposit and then lie to Bovada and same a chargeback was issued.

I’ve found hundreds and hundreds of post on Reddit of this happening to other players I just wish I looked into it before I got scammed outta redepositing money to bring my account out of the negative after the first fake chargeback they told me that happened. And now that I have proof i was never refunded over 60 days later and told them they are flat out caught stealing from their customers and lying about money being refunded , suddenly they are so sorry and couldn’t believe how something like this has happened.

They needed my cell phone to get ahold of me immediately to fix everything , (keep in mind they have my cell on file already ) regardless I still emailed it to them and almost two weeks later and several emails asking them where their call is and why I haven’t heard from them I haven’t gotten one response. I want the money that they stole from my account and refunded for the chargebacks that were never issued and my account reactivated, they have it disabled still even after admitting they were the ones at fault.

This place has the worst customer service I have ever experienced they literally stole money from me lied about why it was happening and when the funds would be returned and then literally attempted to do the same exact thing again the next month to the exact day down to the exact minute I received the same exact email about another chargeback.

You guys talk and talk you’ve had the statement , it takes two second to look through and see there is no chargebacks or no refunds for chargebacks , you’re at fault , you know you’re at fault , so fix it and make it right or admit you steal from your players to cover the losses you get from your credit card processor lying to you about chargebacks being issued that haven’t been in order for them to steal deposits .

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 .
