Withdrawal still under review with no update after a week

By Latini P.

I submitted a withdrawal on the early morning of December 7 2019. I only started playing on this site because friends said they are great and on time with payments. The withdrawal review window is stated as 24-48 hours. After72 hours I asked a rep via chat if there were any updates, to which they said its still being reviewed. After a week, I asked again a chat rep and was told my withdrawal is still under review and that they have 24-48 hours to review it. They said if its been longer than that, then let them know. I emailed and was told they are still within their 24-48 hour window which was false, and so I said it was well over the 48 hour window, and still no response. I contacted Bovada again via chat I was told again yesterday that they have 24-48 hours to review it and once again I stated it was well past that window. The rep just told me my withdraw is under review. The withdraw is for 1000$ via BTC.

The funds have finally been cleared. Case resolved. Their 24-48 hour response time is not accurate, as it is actually 10 days response time in this case.

My 20k sitting in account and my account is disabled

I am new on bovada, i have deposited around 5000 in bitcoin into sports betting. Got some wining strikes. somehow i have managed to raise my account total up to 20k. I tried withdrawing $9500 on 8-15th, with the request being eventually denied. I got locked out of my own account. I'm sure you guys are familiar with their process when they do this, but they proceeded to ask me for identity verification. I submitted all the necessary documents, and soon the verification team emailed me saying the requested documentation has been received.

Please help. The money that they're holding in my account would be super impactful especially right now. I've pleaded with them and they just keep saying be patient. I don't know what sort of investigation could potentially take this long but I need answers.

Account in review

Hello,

Account balance: around $2800
documents submitted: id, selfie, utility bill

It has been two weeks since I have sent all the required documentation to this company and every time I reach out to them they ask for more time to review the account and it is under investigation.

how can this be ethical?
would appreciate more clear timeline and release of money

Account still disabled due to investigation since May 24 with 11000

So during May of this year I went on a pretty good run with my baseball bets, and I ended up getting my account balance up to around $8,000. I tried withdrawing $4,600 on May 23rd, with the request being eventually denied. I'm sure you guys are familiar with their process when they do this, but they proceeded to ask me for identity verification. I submitted all the necessary documents, and soon the verification team emailed me saying the requested documents have been received and verified. I logged back into my account and placed two more bets on two different baseball games ($750 each which made over $1,000 profit on each) and submitted another withdrawal attempt, also I'd like to mention that once I logged back in, I noticed they placed betting limitations on my sports bets. I went to sleep and woke up to both of my games hitting which was super nice, but when I tried to log in I got the dreaded "Your account has been disabled, contact customer support." Of course the withdrawal I placed after submitting my documents got rejected as well, and now it is July 16th, with no conclusion and each time I contacted them, I'm given a similar response. They ask for patience, which I've tried my best to be but honestly that kind of money could make a different for me big time. I'm aware of the situation because it happened to my friend's wife's account but her account got resolved in around 4 days. It's almost been two months with my account.

Please help. The money that they're holding in my account would be super impactful especially right now. I've pleaded with them and they just keep saying be patient. I don't know what sort of investigation could potentially take this long but I need answers.

Bovada Account disabled after completing verification

Hello,

I’m filing this complaint against Bovada because they disabled my account, and despite providing the requested documentation, they keep it locked.

I deposited and played over the course of the last several months and successfully withdrew before. Recently, I won roughly $18,700, my biggest win ever and I tried to make a withdrawal.

On July 2, 2026, they asked for documents to verify my account, which I provided the same day. On July 3, 2026, my account was re-enabled after my documents were reviewed. Then on July 8, I got my account to 18.7k, and before attempting my withdrawal, I updated the phone number on my account because I was having issues receiving text messages. However, on July 8, when I tried to withdraw my winnings, my account was disabled again and placed under investigation. I received an automatic reply that my account is under review and have been told by live chat that I would receive an update within 24–48 hours, but that time has passed and I still cannot access my account or my funds.

I contacted their live chat throughout the process.

This is very shady. I hope this can be resolved and not take months like some cases, as I see so many cases like mine where people feel unsatisfied or scammed.

Withdrawal Declined and no reply

I have been a verified account holder on Bovada.lv and made a deposit of approximately $4,000 in May 2026. When I attempted to withdraw my winnings, my account was suddenly disabled for review with no explanation provided.
This is actually the second time this has happened. My account was previously suspended in April 2026, at which point I completed the full verification process and was told my account was in good standing. I even confirmed this with their support team before making my deposit, and was explicitly assured I could use the account without any issues.
It has now been over two weeks since my withdrawal was blocked and my funds have been frozen. I have received no timeline, no explanation of what is being investigated, and no resolution. I believe Bovada is deliberately delaying withdrawals to avoid paying out customer winnings.
I am requesting that my funds be released immediately and that Bovada provide a clear explanation and timeline for this review.

I have also filed a consumer complaint and my next step would be to provide this information to FBI for investigation in this company for not releasing our money.

Refuses to respond

Months ago I got back into betting hang my Bovada account which I’ve had for years and never any issues, I was offered a bigger bonus which I accepted and then did the rollover betting on various events and specifically tennis, I ended up getting lucky and doing pretty well and went to withdraw and was asked for my ID and proof of address which I sent in right away. Now after 6+ weeks I still havent gotten any response or communication into what is going on or why they refuse to let me withdraw.

Seems to be when I was a loser they let me withdraw just fine but the one time I win I now had to jump through all these hoops and they are refusing to let me withdraw.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Account disabled with 8200 declined withdrawal

Bovada declined my withdrawal of about 8200 and disabled my account on May 23rd, 2026. They sent an email stating I need to send in my ID, front and back, and a selfie holding my ID, also a proof of address which I did. I sent in a gas bill. They said it would take 24-48 hours to resolve my issue. It has been longer than that and the customer service chat is no use. They say there is no time frame which I find insane that they would close my account and tell me to send in my information, then proceed to tell me there is no time frame to get this resolved. I have seen the complaints on here and I have to say I'm worried about sending in my information to them.

I'm asking for help from ask gamblers to hopefully get them to speed up the process so I can continue with my withdrawal. Honestly this whole thing is making me not even want to use their site anymore and seeing these complaints on here has made me have doubts about this company. Ask gamblers can you please assist so I can withdrawal my funds please.
