Stalling on re-enabling my account

This was the final letter I sent and I attached the emails they sent me

To whom it may concern,

My name Is Jo and I’ve been a long time customer on both your sites. Even though we all know it’s the same company for sake of wording both your sites. On Sunday, I played as I usually do for years and my accounts have been disabled between both your companies. It’s amazing how you two are separate companies and institutions yet when it comes to disabling an account you two work together immediately. I received two emails within minutes of each other asking to send documents to verify my account. I sent these documents early Monday morning February 1st, and was told within 24-72 will be verified. You then sent another Bogus email saying documents were unclear on Bovada but meanwhile ignition said they received the documents and it was the same exact. I then resent it to give you guys benefit of the doubt. It’s Five days later. I haven’t been able to play on the site (a site I’ve contributed rake all these years). A site I’ve recommended to my friends and family due to the bonuses and speed of your customer service. Unfortunately I was mistaken. How long does it take to verify an account. How long does it take to inform me of why my account was disabled? How come you guys haven’t asked me questions pertaining to why my account has been disabled? The only thing I can think of is my buddy was using my personal hotspot to play for his phone service was not as great as mine at the bar that we went to watch the games and play. I have no history of foul play or malice. I even recommended you guys over companies such as AcR and even live casino sites because you guys seem fair but this whole process has been such a terrible experience. You guys might not care about me because I am on customer but a negative review definitely outweighs a positive one. Not only will I not continue to Use your site and recommend to my friends and family the same, but I will also promote on my YouTube channel how you use your disgression egregiously And have no transparency for anything. In a world where sites are popping up everyday, us casinos are opening up with online platforms, I still recommended you to everyone I know. I will not only share my experience but it’s wrong how you’re not even willing to message the reasoning why. I don’t have much or any funds in the account but what I feel is the abuse of power is what’s my concern. Imagine if I had tens of thousands in the account. I will post my complaint on askgamblers and even send my complaint to card player and other high profiled poker players. I have no satisfaction wasting my time to write this or give me pleasure. It’s just sad this is how you run your business. I’ve complied with every demand, called, and it’s the same 24-48 hour bullshit. I’m not only disappointed but you ruined the most important thing between a customer and that’s trust. My intent is not to ruin your business but expose the truth of how you conduct business and have no empathy to make it right or be transparent. I should’ve know the day you complain that you all are separate sites when you run the same tournaments and casino games that something was fishy. Now the weekend of the Super Bowl which I’ve had plans to play not only on Saturday but Sunday, I have to take my business elsewhere and for what?! I shouldn’t even give you the benefit of the doubt of why I left but a small part of me feels better sharing how wrong your process feels. We’re in a pandemic. People have fewer means of income but I now know where I can rely on that trust and it’s not with either of your company. I would wish you luck with future business but that would be a lie. Hope you all stay safe during this pandemic.

Disappointed,

Jo

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 .
