Trouble with verification process even though I did everything correctly

I played at Bovada for about a week and everything was seemingly fine. I went to withdraw my funds and was told I am not verified.

There was an automated verification system that popped. I attempted to pass the verification, with my real ID and even a selfie of myself (I tried it multiple times). They claimed they could not see my picture properly on the automated verification system, even though it was perfectly clear. The system will not let me complete the verification at this point. I am unable to withdraw because of this and Bovada has gone a week now without responding to my emails regarding this issue.

What is going on here? It feels like they're doing this on purpose for an excuse to steal my funds ($1,170.00). The following message is what it says when I attempt to withdraw:
"Unable to Verify Identity Your attempt to verify your identity online was unsuccessful. We will contact you via email within 24-48 hours with further instructions."

It has been a week since this happened, definitely past the 24-48 hour timeframe. No instructions were received. I have also emailed the verifications department about this issue multiple times, no response in over a week. Please help me not get scammed out of my money. Keep in mind I have put in hundreds of dollars prior to this issue and of course, there were no issues until I finally make profit.

Bovada has just recently responded to all my emails and cleared everything up. Sorry for this complaint but it has been resolved. I am not sure how to delete this so I'll just type this reply.

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 .
