Withdrawal Problem

I opened an account with Bovada Casino a few years ago. At that time I used my credit card to make the deposits. Besides the fee of about $50.00 per $1000.00 deposit, there was difficulty with my deposits going through. I called Bovada's customer service and was advised to tell my credit card provider that I made purchases online internationally in order to get my deposit approved. After losing about $4000.00 playing poker and having to deal with the difficulties associated with depositing money into my account, I simply quit playing. Recently, I came back using Bitcoin to make my deposits. I played BlackJack with the Welcome Bonuses. There were three bonuses with 150% match each. I deposited $1,000.00 and was matched $1,500.00 each time. I lost a total of $3,000.00 on the 150% match. Next, there were also three bonuses with 100% match. I deposited $1,000.00 and was matched $1,000. I was lucky with this deposit. I reached about $9,500.00 after meeting the play-through requirement. I requested a withdrawal on 02-20-17. I provided my personal I.D. and a bank statement for verification as Bovada requested. Bovada still has not approved my withdrawal . On 03/15/17, I called Bovada. I was asked questions like what games I play and about my betting patterns on BlackJack. Bovada asked me if I always "bet big" playing Black Jack. I told Bovada that I played BlackJack using the basic strategy according to tables published by Wizards of Odds and my betting depended on how I felt at the time. Did they actually think I was counting cards, even with the cards being reshuffled after each hand? It has been more than a month and Bovada has only told me that my account is still under review. No time estimate has been given to me. Please advise me on my options.

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.
