Getting sick, I just want my funds back so I can delete my account


3 years ago

Title says it all. Didn't want to have to file a complaint but considering we are WAY over the "24-48 hrs" time frame I would consider this an "unreasonable amount of time"...


I have been using Bovada for years and I believe I have already gone through this verification process before. On Monday morning November 13th (11/13/22) my account was disabled for seemingly no reason. I sent in verification documentation on November 15th 11/15/22 and was told to wait 24-48 hours. It has now been 34 days since that email.


I sent in multiple forms of proof of address. W2, rental lease, and finally a bank statement. The rental lease was denied but I was never informed of this. It wasn't until weeks later when on the live chat with supervisor S. E that I was informed it was actually denied and for weeks they had been waiting for me to send an acceptable proof of address, even though they never asked and never informed me that the rental lease was denied through email.

So on December 14th at exactly 2:51pm MST I sent a bank statement. I got an email back that same day at 4:31pm I got an email stating: Thank you for submitting to us your documentation.

"Your account is currently under review. You will be contacted via email with further details and/or instructions once the investigation into your account has concluded. Please wait until an update is received as no details will be available prior to the completion of our review." Knowing that this is not confirmation whether it was accepted or denied, I went to the live chat and got confirmation it was accepted. They of course told me to wait 24-48 hours after receiving that email. It is now December 19th at exactly 4:00pm MST (5 days later) and I have received zero communication.

Please AskGamblers.com help me retrieve this money. At this point I don't want to ever use the account or the website any more after dealing with this experience. I will delete it and take my business elsewhere. I just want this to be resolved. Since we are way over 48 hours I'm not sure if it is going to take weeks, or months to finish. Again, we are 34 days into the "review"... As far as I can tell this is an EXTREMELY abnormally long time for the verification process to be ongoing...

Thank you for any assistance.

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 .
