Misinformation and disabled account

Hi on 1/11/25, I won 5 NFL bets for a total of $13,377.74. I was a member for about 2 weeks before this and deposited in total about $2500. (I have screen shots if needed) When I went to withdraw, my account was disabled and got an email to submit documents for verification. I sent in everything that was asked including ID, Selfie with ID, and Proof of Address. A couple days later I got an email saying everything was accepted and the account is under review. On 1/25 (screen shot below) I was transferred to a financial services supervisor who told me I can withdraw the funds on my account and allowed me to log in and withdraw. (You can see he advised me to not make any activity while he allowed me to withdraw and I promised not to). I was advised the withdrawal would go through shortly after. Finally yesterday I checked about it and was transferred to a supervisor (2nd screen shot). He then advised me my withdrawal was cancelled and my account was under review again for the withdrawal. He also said your account is closed due to "irresponsible gaming" but depending on the outcome of the review, will determine if I can withdraw (for the 3rd time). My account has absolutely nothing to do with responsible gaming. He asked if I made any comments even jokingly and I said no. He then said responsible gaming does not require an explanation or warning at all. Mind you- Responsible gaming is for people with gambling issues and make comments towards that. I won 13k, why would I make a comment related to that? He said now I am waiting for the review to see if I can withdraw my funds. This has been a terrible experience and none of this makes sense. I feel like I have been lied to or there has been a huge mistake on my account.

This issue has now been fully resolved (besides the fact that I've been limited to 1%). I appreciate Ask Gamblers and Bovada for making this work.

My account has been re enabled and I have received an apology from Bovada about wrongfully closing my account. My account is now fully verified and I am able to use it. The last thing is that I wanted to make sure I can withdraw. As of now, my withdraw is still pending. I asked Customer Service is we can expedite this withdraw since there was a mistake on my account but the agent said I have to wait. I am just a little concerned because my 2 previous withdrawals were declined. I will consider this issue fully resolved once the withdrawal is approved. Thank you.

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.
