Bovada Casino

Wolffering: I have nothing but good things to say about Bovada. At first I was skeptical just like everyone else, and I have never really gambled before. I deposited $500 and played roulette. I lost all of it. Deposited another $500 and lost it again. Just when I was about to give up I gave it one more chance and deposited another $500. Luck was on my side and made back all my money plus some. I withdrawed twice using bitcoin and received my money less then 24hr each time. I send in a copy of my ID and credit card and never had any problems. Also great customer service pick up right away. I only played roulette and I think it’s a fair game. So far so good

They locked my act once because I was working overseas and not in the US. It only took one call to set it straight

The game variety is good. Lots of different options. I don't wager on sports...just slots and blackjack.

The odds of Winning are too low. Blackjack is completely bogus and no way honest fair play. I average less than a 10% win rate in blackjack on their site which is ridiculous. In over one year of play and thousands of dollars, not one withdrawal. Just closed my account since this has only gotten worse over the last 6 months.

Forget them.With the way they do their bonus' vs. cash you will never be able to actually withdraw your money. Every loss is taken from your cash, every win is added only to your bonus; a bonus that you can't actually withdraw. If you lose a bet it's subtracted from your actual cash.If you win it's paid as a non-withdrawable bonus. Scam. It's worse than a sharecropper system.

The ratings here make no sense. I play a lot, many different places, and this is my favorite site in terms of sportsbook and getting paid in a hurry. Seems a lot of negative reviews are from people with 1-2 reviews that sign up to these sites merely to vent about losing, which is stupid. Stop bashing good casinos because you lose, just don't gamble anymore.

Of course people may have charts of sessions that show losing, it happens. I have gone into a live casino and lost 18 hands of blackjack in a row. The odds are astonishingly low to be so unfortunate, but it's part of gambling. I didn't look for some conspiracy or bash the dealer/casino on my way out, that would be simple minded and arrogant. I left only mad at myself for expecting to go in and win every time. I do not claim to keep track of every spin, but I do keep track of my $$ i/o everywhere I play and with about a 1/4 million played through over the last few years I am just over even (about 1k) with Bovada, obviously not including poker - back when they had it. (however personally I have a better i/o flow with their sister sites)

TLDR- Absolutely unmatched customer service and payout speed.

They just updated their bonus system, which is nice, but if I had to come up with a con it would be the lack of a smaller bonus that has unlimited redemption. They do have a 100% bonus 2x a week, but most casinos offer some 10-30% you can redeem infinitely, at least for BTC - those, 5$ transaction charges nowadays are getting pricey.

TLDR- Wish they had a small bonus with unlimited redemption (similar to their sister sites) for the purpose of smaller btc deposits.

I like all the gambling options. I won a couple hundred bucks playing their slots,betting $1 USD a spin. Very honest games, didnt feel like I was being ripped off! As a US avid gambler I will be playing Bovada AGAIN!!!!

I had to get cashed out through Bitcoin, thats not Bovada's fault (its our state laws), I just wanted a checked mailed to me, but I'll live.

I used to love this casino brand. Not anymore. Simple enough to deposit money. Might as well never try to withdraw though. It'll take a while.

I am a seasoned gambler. I've been playing at online casinos for nearly a decade. I know how things go. You will have more lossing sessions than you have winning sessions most of the time. (Playing slots)
However, the past 6-9 months at bovada, ignition casino, slots.lv and cafe casino (all owned by the same group) they have been absolute garbage. I am not stupid when it comes to the way I play. I have been logging each of my sessions for each game I've played and the results are absurd. An average RTP of less then 50% on most of the games? Come on. We know we are going to lose. But that's overkill. And it seems as if this has all really ramped up ever since the gaming commission license was not renewed. So go figure. No one is watching. lets just take advantage of all of our loyal customers and screw them over. Get lost. These casinos have seen the last of my money. Until they can get their license back.

I recently got into Online Casino's this past May and Bovada was the very 1st casino I was able to make an actual withdrawal!!
Definitely,
*Beginner Friendly*
-Great customized service
-Sports, casino, and horses! Not your average casino
-Generous welcome bonus'
-Manageable wagering requirements
-Rules are straightforward no hidden obstacles
-Fast withdrawal via Bitcoin (Haven't tried any other way)
-From what I've experience they genuinely care about their customers and go out of their way to clear any confusions or mishaps and make things right!

-Not a big variety of slot games. Though they do have my favorite ones, so it's all good!
-Free bonus' are rare

Easy credit card and bitcoin deposits
Incredibly fast Bitcoin withdrawal
Bovada customer services picks up after 2 or 3 rings everytime
Usually 2 or 3 Casino deposit bonuses a week
A lot of sports to bet on
NIce easy to use website

I'm writing this review because there are a lot of bad reviews on here about this site. I've been with Bovada for about 2.5 years.Since they've added Bitcoin withdraw it takes about 24hours to send my money from my Bovada to my Bitcoin wallet and about 1 day from my wallet to my bank account.It really changed my betting life... no more waiting for 8 days of pending and 3 weeks for a check only to blow your money during the 8 day pending period.

I actually turned a 20 dollar blackjack chip into about $250 and cashed out... I've NEVER come close to cashing out on a free chip in the 5 plus years I've been gambling online and Ive used A LOT of free chips from other sites. Seems like after that cashout though the blackjack has been awfully greedy... I suggest after you win a couple hands to just leave.

Other than when you sign up, there are NO sportsbook bonuses.I primarily bet sports so this was kind of an issue for me.
There is no Live Chat which I find strange for such a good site.

I'm under the impression that EVERY online sportsbook can mark accounts to win or to lose since its unregulated and they can literally do what they wish.There only trying to keep up with other corrupt online casinos so they pay and give bonuses and stuff but I will always believe that online casinos mark accounts to win or to lose. Why the hell wouldnt they!!! Thats just the Casino side of online casinos which I do play from time to time, but nowhere near as often as I sportsbet.

Bovada's online casino seems like they have a big enough customer base to where they dont have to be shady as f**k and mark accounts for loss like other sites *cough* PRISM CASINO and CLUB PLAYER CASINO *cough* and all of their cheating sister sites.

Remember... there are people out there that can hack into foreign government computers... there are people that run unregulated online casinos who only have to be as good as their unregulated competition... They all will cheat steal for profit because the only repercussion is a loss of a customer. Which they will get back because gamblers are addicts. I've been around the online casino gambling scene awhile... and it seems like Bovada cheats the least.. There at the top of the online casino industry as far as I know.

Bitcoin deposits and ease of depositing money. Easy to get money in.

Played craps. Anytime you increase bets a 7 is rolled. If you switch to DP the point is rolled, even if 4 or 10.

Controls are lousy and buggy.

Scam.

Hard to get money out.
