Bovada "new" bitcoin rules

[Ant23]

I have noticed that in the past month or so when $$ is sent to Bovada from wallet address it's taking more time than in the past. They say nothing has changed but even when sending priority it still isn't in Bovada account as fast as about 1 month ago. I asked one of the so-called bitcoin experts at Bovada why the change since bitcoin transactions can't be cancelled? He assured me nothing has changed on there receiving end but he is full of s###.

How long usually do bitcoin transactions take at other A books? I waited 29 minutes today after sending priority and normal was only .08 cents!!! Since I got stuck for over $50 on a recent withdrawal AFTER they said it was sent and bitcoin crashed 24 hours later it seems like Bovada has not lived up to their "instant" deposits via bitcoin!!!

Why not play nitrogen if using bitcoin.. Been with them couple of years no short pays or short deposits.. Longest wait for withdraw to wallet was about 2.5 hours and it wasn’t short a penny.

Imoverherenow......but doesn't keeping your $$ in BITCOINS as opposed to USD just another gamble?

I don’t hold on site once I win I

Ohhhhhh I see, So you don't need to hold any bitcoin in nitrogen account in order to keep the account open? What's the minimum deposit and am I eligible to play here since I'm in the USA?

I opened an account there a while back. Made a small dep 0.5 coin. Unimpressed with the site overall (expensive 2 half lines in nba and no team totals in mlb) so I got out after a few wins.

The account is still open after I completely withdrew funds. I checked.

Just don't make the mistake some have and accidentally create multiple accounts.

I'm sure you can visit the site for minimum dep requirements.

Absolutely. Not only are you sports betting, you're essentially currency trading and taking a long position in btc.

After the degen fiasco with Fairlay, I stopped using them. But when I did, I'd make my plays, get out, and hold the funds in cash.

EvPlus.....thanks for the info. I read the degen1 fiasco as well but definitely not holding 100k or anything near that much in ALL my accounts offshore

It could be just slow blocks, if you check a btc block explorer you could probably get a much clearer idea of what is going on....and maybe save a bit on tx fees.
