My name is <full name removed>

My Bovada profile is <removed>. I was referred by a friend <full name removed>. This is the first time ever that I open with Bovado,

I made a 500 bitcoin deposit, Even send them my picture, the same one here, been playing, and had no problem until I try request 4500.00 and I left 1500. 00 to play with. I played some games and made wagers until I try to back in for the 3 o clock game. That’s when I could get back in, I didn’t know why I couldn’t get back, I just keep on trying. No luck.

I try using another phone and couldn’t get back in. Until I try to get to the chat line. And that’s what has happened., Ask them why. Didn’t tell me anything not what’s so ever. Just wait till u get an email. I was so furious, I end up breaking my phone, it’s been 6 days now and they kept telling me the same thing wait wait. And still not telling me anything.

I have received an email saying that I’m verified, but why I’m being reviewed, that’s was the case right, but now I have to wait more time, I don’t understand the meaning of being verified in the first place. That’s was the reason. And now that I am. I’m still not able to get any answers from u guys or no solution, how much more time this will take. I never experience this never ending n my life I had to go though this hassle, never. It’s said right there I’m verified now. And still u guys find another excuses

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 not unlocked after being told it was verified

I submitted my documents on the 28th on 29 September. I received a email saying my documents will receive in my account is under review. I am still waiting for an update. I haven’t received one.

I was told it would take 24 to 48 hours this all happened because I tried to withdraw a little 1000 on my account and now my account is under review

I submitted everything that ID the selfie with the ID and the utility bill, I don’t know what’s happening and I don’t understand why I haven’t received an update in why I would lied to and told that we only take 24 to 48 hours and it’s been well over a week now.

Account disabled for almost 2 weeks after completing full KYC registration

I am filing this complaint because Bovada Casino has completely disabled my account and withheld my funds for two weeks despite my complete compliance with their identity verification process.

Timeline of events:

1. I initiated a crypto withdrawal request for $1,500 via Litecoin, which I later adjusted to leave a pending withdrawal of $1,250 and a remaining playable balance.

2. Immediately following the request, my account was disabled, and I was asked to complete a KYC check.

3. I have fully completed every single requirement requested by Bovada. I successfully passed the biometric face scan, provided my valid driver's license, and uploaded my proof of residence.

4. I received official email confirmation from Bovada acknowledging that they received my withdrawal request and successfully received my KYC documents.

It has now been 14 days with zero updates, zero communication, and my account remains completely locked. I have done everything asked of me. I am requesting that Bovada's compliance team manually review my verified documents, re-enable my account, and process my pending Litecoin withdrawal immediately.

Waiting for investigation to end

Hi,
My account was disabled on september 19 requesting for documents that were sent immediately and soon after i received an email stating the the account is under investigation.
It's 23rd september today and I have received no response from this casino or any of it's representatives

This seems to be shady behavior in order to not pay customers that won.

Please assist with this.

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.

Verification delay

I been waiting almost ten days for my verification after getting my balance over 64,000. I heard great things about bovada so I believe my money is safe.

But this process is absurd especially after I sent in all my documents asked for and sent in the right format. I just want my verification escalated please being that I’ve went through this process before but only after winning..

I even got a email saying I’ll know something in 48 hours it been over a week now. I fully understand the importance of identity verification and security procedures. However, I did everything requested of me and followed all rules. From my perspective, the only reason my account was disabled is because I won a significant amount of money. But I’ve lost more.

I am requesting that Bovada:

Provide a clear and specific explanation for why my account remains under investigation
Re-enable my account immediately
Release my rightful winnings without further delay

I am filing this complaint in hopes that AskGamblers can assist in getting Bovada to resolve this matter fairly and promptly, as I believe my account has been unfairly disabled despite full compliance with all rules.

Disabled my account and asking me to verify now giving me the run around

So I’ve been gambling with Bovada for close to 2 years straight. All I use is them. Minimum bets are 1k- 5k. Respectfully, I bring them a lot of money.

Never ever had a problem with anything up until just recently. I hit maybe 2k in 2 nights on live bets, and I’m up my 10k with them for the year. Out of nowhere, my limits were dropped significantly, even on ML straight bets. And when I went to withdraw, it wouldn’t let me. Literally the first time ever.

Waited a day, went back on, and my account was disabled.

I’ve been going back and forth with the customer service agents, and 1 out of 10 is helpful. The rest give you the same story. I’ve sent my documents 4 times, Bovada.

I haven’t violated any rules or tos.

I just would like to be able to work with you guys. Can you please help me???

It’s been since August 18th that I’ve been dealing with this, and nothing has changed.
