Verification taking almost 3 months, funds stuck


3 years ago

I'd like to start off by saying this is crazy. Never in my life have I experienced something like this. This is what has happened thus far:

After winning a bet and withdrawing some of my funds about 25% approx. I continued playing and was waiting for the UFC matches coming up to bet on, to my surprise my account got disabled and I was asked to send in verification documents in which I did. I sent in some mail, photo ID and a selfie holding my photo ID (This was on Oct 1). No reply for almost 4 weeks, I emailed again asking what was there anything else I can do and received a typical "We will email you once investigation is done".

Once again no reply for another 2 weeks, which I then resent my verification documents again. (Nov 18). I then sent in utility bill (Nov 30). I was then sent an email asking to contact customer support on Dec 1st, I didn't see the email originally. Which when going into chat was asked for an updated selfie holding my photo ID which I sent in the morning the same morning of Dec 3rd, and was told it can take up to 48H to verify. It is now about 2 weeks later and still nothing. We are approaching the 3 month mark and it seems to me like they are just trying to keep my money. Please help.

Thank you, still getting the same reply from Bovada, that they are "investigating". Its been 4 months. I've sent them everything they need to verify.

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.
