Blacklisted

AskGamblers have been notified that Bovada casino is operating without a valid licence issued by a regulated authority. As a result we issued an official warning hoping that the operator will manage to solve the issue. Unfortunately, months afterwards, the casino is still operating without a valid licence which basically means zero protection for players in case of a problem with the operator and that is why Bovada is being added to our blacklist.

Bovada Casino is an online casino derived from Bodog Casino, one of the largest brands in the Internet gaming world. The casino's licence by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission has been terminated.

Security and Fairness

The Internet can be a dangerous place, so Bovada Casino has put into place several protocols to make their players completely secure. First and foremost, the transmission of any personal or sensitive data is safeguarded with 128-bit SSL encryption, which prevents anyone from accessing your information. Bovada Casino's privacy policy also guarantees that they will never sell or give out your information to any third parties.

Genuine randomness should be something that all online casinos offer. Although Bovada Casino has apparently given sufficient proof to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, they do not currently have any third-party audit seals posted on their website. Nonetheless, these are the same games that have been verified at the Bodog website, and we have no doubt that they are fair.

Bovada Casino - Delayed verification and account disabled with no response
Casino name: Bovada Casino

Complaint type: Delayed verification / account disabled – no response

Complaint details:

I am filing this complaint due to an unresolved account review and lack of communication from Bovada following a withdrawal request.

On January 3, I was contacted by Bovada’s Investigations team and asked to submit verification documents, including a photo ID and a selfie with the ID. I submitted all requested documentation the same day.

On January 5, I received an email stating that they received my documentation and that my account was under review and that I would be contacted once the review was completed. Since then, my account has remained disabled.

As of today Jan 20th, more than three weeks have passed since the documents were submitted. I have sent polite follow-up emails and contacted live chat. Live chat confirmed that the account is still under review but advised that there is no estimated time frame for completion. I have not been informed that any additional documentation is required, nor have I received any explanation for the delay.

The funds in question in total is 24k that were obtained after meeting all wagering requirements, and I complied fully with the verification request. The only mistake I made was not using my real name when signing up because I did not know that I had to use my real name which I explained in my original response to the verification team. A simple mistake that can be corrected with the verification documents that I provided. I am simply seeking confirmation that my review is progressing and resolution of the account review so I can access my account and withdrawal. I do not understand the purpose of this delay or why this is taking more than 3 weeks to resolve.

I am requesting Bovada’s assistance in completing this verification process and providing a clear update on the status of my account.

Thank you for your help.

Bovada Casino - Account temp disabled with funds locked of 21750
I am submitting this complaint regarding Bovada disabling my account and placing it under investigation immediately after I won approximately $21,750 on blackjack.
I have been an active Bovada customer for the past 4-6 months and used the platform daily without a single issue. I have never violated Bovada's terms and conditions, nor have I engaged in any prohibited or suspicious activity.
I have consistently deposited and withdrawn funds without any problems since joining.
On the previous week in question, I successfully withdrew $4-5k from my account without issue.
I then continued playing, deposited additional funds, and got free bonus this recently Sunday 1-4-2025 free play for $500 that was available on my account. I fully complied with all bonus wagering and rollover requirements, placed multiple bets, and primarily played blackjack.

While playing through the blackjack, I won approximately $21,750, mostly on the same game. After successfully completing the bonus rollover and attempting to withdraw my winnings, my account was suddenly disabled and placed under investigation.
Bovada later requested identity verification, which I promptly and fully provided. My identity has since been verified by Bovada's verification team. Despite this, my account remains disabled, and my winnings remain inaccessible. No clear explanation has been provided as to why the investigation is still ongoing or what issue, if any, exists with my account.
I fully understand the importance of identity verification and security procedures. However, I did everything requested of me and followed all rules. From my perspective, the only reason my account was disabled is because I won a significant amount of money while playing blackjack .

I am requesting that Bovada:
1. Provide a clear and specific explanation for why my account remains under investigation
2. Re-enable my account immediately
3. Release my rightful winnings without further delay
I am filing this complaint in hopes that AskGamblers can assist in getting Bovada to resolve this matter fairly and promptly, as I believe my account has been unfairly restricted despite full compliance with all rules.

Top reviews from our players

I won $1500 on April 13th. I asked them what the status was on this and they said it was not the 15th day and they would send me a tracking number. The also said just because they say 15 days does not mean that is when you will get it and they told me to cash the check at a check casing place or a smaller bank rather then my own. Now that I'm reading that some checks have bounced, I'm sure this will happen with me.

Never have had a problem with any other casino getting my money. Normally its direct deposit into my account. So here I wait for a imaginary check and if I do get it, more than likely will bounce.

I have enjoyed the little time I have played at this casino. I enjoy how they still have the single deck black jack and how fast the customer service responds to you. I now see why everyone always talks about this casino. I also easily worked my way from the $20 deposit up to around $80.00 on the blackjack table but then somehow as it always seems to happen I eventually lost it all. If you are looking for a great and trustworthy online gambling site and are located in the United States I would definitely direct you to this site. This is one of the few casinos that I find trustworthy available for online gamblers in the United States.

If I try to look for the downside of the casino I would have to say I feel as if when you bet on higher stakes the odds might not be as favorable for you as if you were betting on a lower stake. I didn’t really consider this at first as I thought that it might be just be all in my head however after seeing some of the reviews about this site around other places I might still think this has a possibility of being rigged when it comes to betting higher however I still remain skeptical but felt it was necessary to point that out there.

Another Con I find with the site is that it charges you a minor fee to deposit and I have never seen this before and find it silly and unnecessary. Now that I have criticized the site’s few problems I want to end on a strong note saying that I still feel this might be the best option for U.S. online gamblers so give it a shot if you are thinking about trying it out.

I recently got a good raise at work so I decided to do some fun gambling at Bovada. I started to realize how easy it is to make money at low stakes then as soon as it hits high stakes.. odds don't exist anymore, everything just goes the way of the house. Roulette is where I tested my theory.

I started with $200 and built it up to $1000 and as soon as I started making large bets, I would get red 6 times in a row, or double zeros way too consistently. As I started to see what was happening I documented everything and invested $700 to figure all this out eventually I realized that during stakes where bets are $25 or less the odds seem fairly normal.

Once you are betting $100 or more.. everything goes the way of the house by a whopping 88% fail rate. This means once you start betting high amounts you immediately lose money. Note I also tested this among time, if you are betting more than 25 min straight, the odds go in favor of the house. I won't bore you with details but know that I have a masters in mathematics and used some of my knowledge to map out statistics which show that Bovada essentially will let you "win" while you bet fast during a short period of time, then suddenly the odds change to be roughly 88% in their favor until you lose all your money. Once you purchase more chips and enter a new table, your odds seem to reset, but I can't be sure by how much. Not sure what else resets the odds, but basically I quit playing Bovada because from the information i gathered, it has to be a calculated scam to make money of unsuspecting gamblers.

Don't be another statistic. Do not play at Bovada. After seeing the shocking results of my testing, I completely support the government banning all online gambling, because if it's all like this, then it is a complete scam.

I play Blackjack regularly on Bovada, and have had pretty good luck. Yes, it take a couple of weeks to get your checks, but I have never had one bounce. Remember that they shuffle the deck after every hand, and that you are getting 5x more hands dealt per hour than a live casino.

No matter how you play, the house still has an advantage. I wish that I was able to cash out easier. This would probably cut down on losses. I still prefer a brick and mortar casino, but in between trips, Bovada works well.

As a regular casino player, I understand that the house has the odds against you but playing a few hundred dollars here and I can tell you that these aren't normal odds. In black jack, I would lose at least 4 out of 5 hands, and in 3 hand poker, the dealer would always have either an ace or a pair in their hand! The games are rigged, don't trust this website. I can't believe I wasted so much money here, I played slow, I took risks, I chased bets (multiple times) thinking that my luck would change, but it never did. In Bovada, there is no such thing as luck, just a computed scam.

I had made a few deposits at Bovada, and almost one $500 till I got typical and chose not to cash out. You can only imagine what happened next :(

I can't say with real money but the blackjack is a rigged game and so is roulette. I will not risk real money here.

I have played at both casinos and cashed out and checks were good no problems with this at all.

Seems everyone has the same problems, they don't payout and when they do the check bounces. I have been waiting on a payout for over the 15 business days they tell you, going on a month now. I have contacted them and they give you some bs about sending a tracking number and it is being processed blah blah blah. I fully expect when I finally do get a check it will bounce like everyone else says.

I googled and this was the highest rated site that came up after the search, wish i had done more research before depositing money with these guys. Don't make the mistake I made and play here, find another site. If they do finally send me my funds, I will update this post however I could not recommend Bovada.

They sure do hype it up make it sound real good to play there but honestly the b for bovads stands for bullshit. I find it **@%#? up and pretty pretty shameless on their part that you can play for fun and win and win jackpot jackpot big money but is soon as you deposit your own money but were not talking about 50 dollars r e I were talking a couple 100 dollars in a few hours you cannot win anything I'm honestly very disappointed an online gaming of programs and the way these people conduct themselves.

Nsa or Mister red storm it's at all based on a computer software you must be having bad luck I can walk into an Indian casino California and not have this bad of luck. New potential users I would stay away, save your money, take a bus to a real casino and at least you know you you're sitting here looking at a machine, you know you lost to it, you're not looking at a computer lit thinking.
