Verification problems


1 year ago
Good afternoon,

I am reaching out for assistance in resolving an issue with my Bovada account, which was locked on January 31st. On that day, I received an email from Bovada informing me that my account was locked because I needed to verify my identity. In response, I sent a detailed email with pay stubs, my driver’s license, passport, and social security card. However, I did not receive a response that day, so I followed up on February 1st.

I did not receive a reply until February 4th, when I was told I needed to submit another bill. I sent the bill on the same day and waited for a response. Over a week later, I followed up with Bovada on February 11th, but still received no reply until February 13th. During this waiting period, I also tried to contact Bovada through the chat feature for guidance, but the responses were not helpful.

On February 13th, I asked if I could speak to a supervisor to get clarification on the required documentation. From my understanding, I had already submitted everything needed, but I continued to receive requests for additional bills.

I will attach all of my emails and documentation below. I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue, as my account has been locked for over two weeks, and I am still uncertain about the reason for the lock.

Thank you for your assistance.

I have been told several times that I would receive a reply within 24-48 hours and it’s been several weeks at this point. I would greatly appreciate your diligence in getting this resolved and that being communicated in the time frame that you all state in your emails.

I would like to clarify that I replied after your email on February 13th. I submitted a plethora of attachments and bills and again have not heard anything. I will attach a screenshot below of my reply to you. I also ensured all my files that were attached are private to only this conversation including the file that I attached to this message. Therefore, no one outside of this thread can see any of the photos or files that I attached.

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 .
