Bovada will Accept Deposits in BTC but will not Pay in BTC? Are they for real?

[BrickJames]

Is this a joke?

[smittyallsports]

Excuse me for being a moron... but wtf is btc?

[BrickJames]

Bitcoin

[Russian Rocket]

Bovada is a "waste of time" book

not sure why people still gamble there

[SBR Forum]

Update: Looks like Bovada have added bitcoin withdrawals but the option appears only if you have previously deposited with bitcoin.

Not much choice if you play poker.

I play poker, bet sports and ponies and play double double bonus VP so really no other option for me.

[BrickJames]

Correct, it is a deposit only option for now: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/spor...eposits-71320/

We do know Bovada plans to offer payouts in BTC but there is no established date.

Thank you. Please keep us updated.

I'm not that familiar with a poker side of things with these books, but try Nitrogen (Bitcoin only book)...I heard some folks liked their poker tourneys

I play at Nitrogen and Betcoinsports for poker. Both have free rolls.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

ummm... they added bitcoin option. i just cashed out using bitcoin option last night. it said it takes up to 72 hours though. we'll see how long it takes. the funds are still not taken out. just waiting for me to lose before the 72 hours probably. i had the worst of the worst beats in poker last night. the dreaded doom switch was turned on, no joke... these bastards are shady as fukk.

[eidolon]

Kinda odd.
If they are only accepting deposits, WTF are they doing with all the Bitcoins? sounds pretty fukking shady to me.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

they do have bitcoin withdrawal option but you must first deposit using bitcoin or else that option doesn't show up.

Kahn thank you. you are absolutely right! this must be brand new!

Nitrogen is cool and i have played there but they have NOTHING on bovada as far as steaks and sheer # of players.

[BrickJames]

mods please delete thread. sorry for confusion

[Courtesywipe]

This sounds like a lot of the wanna be sports books. hrwager, bet mania, betphoniex, skybook, ect. These places will except intstant deposits, but will not pay out with bitcoin. Really no reasons to play at shops like that anymore.

[themike78]

Bovada has been slow paying customers since 1999 when they were bodog. Most overrated book ever. Fuk them.

[TheMoneyShot]

They want money coming in

No money going out though

[SBRMAN23]

THis book i tell u keeps blowing me away and not in a good way

[QuantumLeap]

They are the Roach Motel of books. Remember that commercial? Roaches check in but they don't check out. Except with Bovada it's money gets checked in but doesn't get checked out.

almost 72 hours now and funds still in acct from a bitcoin payout...what a joke

[JAKEPEAVY21]

just pathetic...all they gotta do is hit the button

obviously trying to slow pay, so you lose your money without ever getting anything back

[jjgold]

These regular books got to learn from Bitcoin books on how to do it

It cannot be hard

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I know and it is pissing me off now...now they are telling me 72 hours to "review and approve" a payout is just a time frame and sometimes takes longer. penetrate these snake oil salesmen...no wonder they are rated so poorly..my mistake for giving them another chance after not doing business with them for years.

[vividjohn45]

Doesnt bitcoims flucuate in price? So not only to come out a winner you have to beat book or casino odds and then hope bitcoin prices dont swing downwards on ir bankroll or winnings. Pass.

When the bitcoin is added to your account it is credited as US$ so you are not concerned with the price changes.

The time between buying it and it being credited. And the time between being paid out in bitcoin and you converting it to US$ is when you are affected by price changes.

yeah my withdrawals still in my account also. usually they approve it within hours. these aholes are just letting it sit there. why? my only guess is so that you'll lose it somehow. we shouldn't get bitcoin price at 3 to 4 days later.

[BrickJames]

They jerked me around pretty good a couple months back on a **** Fast Funds withdrawal.

[BrickJames]

.....and I mean over a month. Fast Funds my a$$

well i left $500 for poker and got great starting hands that never connected hand after hand. i almost dipped into the original cashout amount. argh... not touching it though. i almost fell into their trap.
