Bovada 9.5k withdrawal 8 day still review - How does BTC price effect things?

[Lord_Mar7]

Hi - new to SBR and BTC. Been using Bovada for 4 months.....so far so good. Won 10k recently on the World Series. Initiated a BTC max withdrawal of 9.5k on 10/31. I contacted their customer service and was told there was a delay and to be patient. OK.

My question, 1x BTC was around 9.25k when I withdrew. If it goes to, say, 8.5k for 1BTC once they process, will I then have approx. 1.11 BTC in my wallet? Or would it be 1.02 BTC (from the initial withdrawal)? Or less?

Thanks for your help - really wish it didn't take this long, especially if I'm going to lose (or gain?) BTC in the process.

The plan for the future is not to make big withdrawals like this. Everything I'm hearing is that Bovada always pays, but the delay seems a bit too much. More curious as to the fluctuation in BTC price.

its determined at the time they actually send the btc, not when you requested it

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from my scenario above, I would actually have more BTC in my wallet (i.e. 1.11 as opposed to 1.02) at the equivalent $ amount. I wouldn't be losing any money, just a fluctuation of the actual BTC count.

Thanks for your help.

Yes when they send, they will send 9.5k worth of bitcoin. The fluctuation from when they actually send and you receive it will determine the final value of what you receive.

Awesome - great info, thank you!

Please let us know when you receive the funds so I can be confident in Bovada for future withdrawals. Thanks.

Will do. I'm seeing people say 1-2 weeks for newer clients/bigger withdrawal amounts is typical for Bovada. Smaller amounts and long term clients is quicker.

Nonetheless, they don't seem to be in any rush.

first withdrawals always take the longest after the first one it is smooth sailing. they are checking if they have any reason they can stiff/deny you (multis/cheating)

11 days still no payout. Can you explain what multis is? I put a 360$ bet on the Nationals and 1 other MLB team to win it all in July. Stroke of luck, if you will

Please submit a sportsbook complaint form with your details and SBR can ask a manager to check on the long delay for you

You have way more patience than I would have.

I appreciate that lol. This is my 1st time withdrawing so I'm trying to be patient.

Do personal books have this much of a grace period? lol

[PaperTrail07]

I will call them on the 13th.

Emailed them twice - 1st response was "be patient, delay in withdrawals". 2nd response was general. I already told them if it takes this long in the future they will lose my business.

[PaperTrail07]

They could care less LOL....in the future----jump the hoops they want jumped---then play ball.....just my 2 cents...... Gl with your cashout

They are often slow on the first one.

Check the official payout reports thread to get a real idea how long it takes normally

I checked back a few months - most seem to be within 72 hours. We'll see what Bovada has to say to me on day 13.

[Lord_Mar7]

Contacted Bovada via phone - was told there was a lot of transactions in the queue. Day 13. The rep told me to wait another day or 2. She was nice at least.

Hopefully by Friday?

[Lord_Mar7]

If I can get an assist on the SBR complaint I filled out 11/8 that would be fantastic. Thank you.

Would you please reply to the complaint confirmation email and ask for an update?

That goes directly to the right person.

Email sent. Day 15. Still winning $$ with Bovada. Am I ever going to see any of my money? lol

[Lord_Mar7]

Day 18 no payout

[DroopyDog]

This is disappointing on 2 fronts, Bovada simply stalling and slow paying..... did they deduct the funds from your balance? or have they left it in there hoping you lose it?

And secondly, SBR seemingly doing very little with a long time sponsor

Funds have been deducted from balance.

Day 19 - still in review and no word from SBR. I am not placing any further bets until the majority (or all) of my money has been released to me.

Thanks for your help.

F.u.c.k them, they loss my business vicariously through you good job Bovada (not).

[Lord_Mar7]

Any help from SBR would be appreciated. Thank you.

[bitcoinLuke]

I'm not sure which is worse, that Bovada is on day 20 with no payout or the SBRforum is on day 13 with no help to this guy after he filled out a complaint form.

Like seriously, what takes two weeks to get this guy some help? I bet it didnt take two weeks for you to respond to their sponsor inquires

[Pinoy-T-X]

Wow! That’s some Fooked up shyte!

Back in the day Bill Dozer was in charge of the Sportsbook complaints & it always felt like he was our lawyer representing us offshore. Now it’s like a shit for nothing public defender.

Well, SBR doesn't owe me anything. I am planning to go Pro, ideally, if this gets resolved.

Bovada DOES owe me.

[DroopyDog]

Lord Mar, again, sorry you are going thru this. I would be going scorched earth by now if it were me.

Hopfully you are paid soon, and you'd be smart to find a better sportsbook to play at. I recommend Bookmaker, Heritage, 5dimes... forget bovada
