Page 5 – Player Reviews for Bovada Casino

Stay away from Bovada!

It is worth driving to a nearby casino to get your slot or table fix, even if it is 3- 4 hours away. Bovada will never admit to tightening up the slots, but they have done it. Maybe it has something to do with all of the recent website shutdowns, or just plain greed.

I started playing at Bodog several years ago, and I enjoyed playing in their casino and sport and racing books. I played in the casino here and there, with the feeling that I might have a chance to win a little. After the Bodog to Bovada change, that feeling is long gone. Do not play at the Bovada casino! The odds are extremely stacked against you. They used to post several third party regulating certificates on their site. What happened to these? The certificate they have on there from the gaming commission is outdated and franky looks pretty shady. Get out, get some fresh air and exercise, and go to a live casino. It will also keep money in your local economy. And if you have any problems there, you can actually speak to somebody that has English as their first language. Oh, and you don't have to wait a month or longer to get paid.

I'm still waiting on a payout from Blovada.

I have a complaint on here, that I cashed out 3000 and never got it, but guess what? On Thursday my check for 3000 came via FedEx and cleared the next day. Yes, it took 2 months to show up but I'm glad it finally did.

I'm still mad that it took so long so I'm walking away with every dime and making no further deposits.

Hope everyone else will get their money also.

Do not deposit money onto Bovada if you ever want to cash it out. I requested a payout April 27th and almost 2 months later I have not received my payout. Every time I call it's the same response: Just keep checking your messages for the tracking number. It says at the time of deposit it takes 15 days, well that turned into 25 days. Now that it's been over 25 days their response is just shut up and wait.I guess I am supposed to just blindly trust a guy in the Phillipeans telling me my check is coming.

BOVADA = SCAM

As big as Bovada customer service is, does anyone else think every complaint here is unresolved, because everything is true, so they don't answer questions.

Just read the complaint of the man who has been waiting 45 days. What he has stated is 90% the same as my experience with Bovada.

4/3/12 I was approved for 3,000 payout. Today 6/9 I still haven't received anything but, corporate lines and lies. According to Bovada, they will never research a non payment, just trust them, that even thought they have miss-lead and lied to you, you will get paid (but not guaranteed in your lifetime!) I think this Indian operation speak with a forked tongue!. People need to start contacting the parent corporation, and find out if their statements are miss-leading and false, and how they are the only business I ever heard of, who won't research a problem. The only difference is I confront each and every one, and have a listing of agents and so called supervisors.

The manager has the best job, always off for the next 2 days, no matter what day of the week you called. Since this has started I have everything documented and recorded. Those of you in similar situations can contact me. Only by working together will we get results.

Got to let people know what I'm dealing with.

Bovada had sent me a couple checks in the past. Always here on the 15th business day. Not anymore! I've been waiting for 45 days. They told me 15, then 20, and then 25 business days! Now they are making all kinds of excuses p, plus telling me that now there is no time frame now, but they promise me that I will get paid. BS! They say they have no manager every time i call. They say they have never missed a payout in 15 years. Basically every thing they say is a lie!

Cannot begin to tell you how dissapointed that I am! I don't expect to get paid anymore. They have lost all of my trust! Terrible customer service. It's very obvious that they won't be in business much longer. You can't rip everyone off, and act like that's acceptable. I will never trust another online casino!

I cash out for 600.00 shortly after 2000.00 still no tracking 6/1/2012 lol should I be worried. gino

Hi those guys are not reliable at all. I never got my check and even tracking nothing.
I played and I wanna warn people before they loose money .

You'd have to be a fool to play their online Roulette and Blackjack!

I found out that the Bovada Casino was rigged early on an have managed to steer clear of table games they can manipulate. I used to play roulette and about 10 times I have experienced about 8 red or blacks in a row and a couple of instances of consecutive double 0.

I still do play the sports book and find these problems with the Bovade experience. When depositing I am being overcharged by Bovada an average of 11-21 cents per the minimum $20 transaction on top of their 4.9% fee and the bank international transaction fee. They blame the bank the bank says it's the merchant and when I call Bovada to question their practices they play dumb as they did when I question the fairness of their table games and yes. Bovada is currently taking an average of 20 business days to payout.

When I first joined Bovada coming from Sportsbook.com payouts were being completed in about a week and I was recommending people to their site. Bovada sports spreads are also over inflated (-140) when Vegas has something at (-120) and if the Spurs are -8 Bovada will surely have it at 8.5 and more often than not 9. Not enjoying the online gambling experience right now at Bovada.

I too was quite frustrated with the payout time. I requested a payout of $1700 (my largest to date) on April 2. It finally arrived via regular mail on May 14th. They did notify me on May 3rd, that the check had been cut and was being mailed, since I have a PO box.

Even though I am ahead on profit/loss, this experience has left a tarnish on the Bovada. I will probably save my money to play on land based casinos. It is nice to walk out with cash when you win. If you haven't received your money after 30 days, then start hounding them. The customer service improved at that point.

I won 3000 over a month ago and every time I asked for my payout they say 15 business days. Then it went to 20. Now it is over 20 and still no money.

I like to play roulette and like other people when start betting large amount it would come up red or black 8 or 9 times in a row or double 0, 2 times in a row. Seems like it is being watched to ensure you never hit large amounts.

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.

As a US player, I was just happy to find a place that actually accepted me with a real deposit option. It hasn't been easy for a while (finding legit sites). They have all the same games I'm used to though I wouldn't mind seeing some additional games.

I was able to make two payouts and received the first (check) within a couple weeks no problem. They do charge $50 for more then one payout in a 30 day period. Since check is the only option for a US player, this kinda sucks but no different then Bodog was in the past.

Overall, I will be playing at this site unless something unusual happens.
