Temporarily Disabled Account No Explanation Given

I joined Bovada on Monday, June 24 and made a deposit via the Bitcoin network and elected NOT to use any of the offered bonuses. All went great for the first couple of days. I was able to make sports bets, play some slots, and a little bit of poker. I was doing pretty well and won a few hundred dollars. I had not submitted verification at this point as I intended to play more with the funds I had in the account.

On June 29, out of the blue, I received an email stating my account was disabled and under review pending verification. I supplied the requested materials through email, as requested, and was thanked for my submission and successfully verified Friday July 5. My account remained disabled.

On Monday July 8, I sent an email requesting that my balance be transferred out to my bitcoin wallet as now my funds have been held hostage for over 2 two weeks (recall that I have not used any bonus and there is not a rollover associated with my account). I also informed them if did not receive a timely response, explanation, and release of my funds that I would be filing a complain with their egaming license holder and online watchdogs.

I received a response on Wed, July 10 stating that their team was still reviewing my account and I would receive an explanation via email.

It is now two weeks later, my account is still disabled, and I have received no funds and no explanation.


I now worry that Bovada is no only in the business of stealing money, but also some sort of identity fraud. I sent my identification in with all of my details minus my state identification number (which is standard procedure for every other online casino I've played at) and they would not accept it. So, I resent the images with all of the details exposed to complete verification--an action I have come to regret.

I’ve yet to hear a thing from Bovada and when this second timer runs out I request that you do not reopen this ticket again and permanently ding their score. It has been over a month. This is absolutely ridiculous.

I'm not positive of the exact amount, as I am unable to access the account, but it was roughly ~$400.

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.
