    shame they are such shady characters because they actually have some decent poker tournaments compared to the other sites available to us in the states

    How can they have solvency issues? The poker rake alone there must be about 5k per minute.

    Why not just cash guys out and have happy customers?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Remember that bitcoin payouts were only recently added; this process will be more streamlined at Bovada soon to be on par with what you experience from other fiat sportsbooks. We've passed all feedback on to management.

    Bovada catches some rightful heat, but they're the best poker option for most US players and have always been a payout machine. I wouldn't worry about being paid.

    i don't think you understand bitcoin. we should've got paid at $450 not at $460 or worse.

    Far from an expert, but I understand it enough. This could just be a procedural issue since it's something fairly new to them. I do wish they would take the funds out of your available balance once you request a withdrawal...I don't doubt they hope people will say F it and head to the casino for some cherry master slots

    At least the option is available now.

    Hopefully they figure out how to speed things up in the future.

    It's surprising that Bovada of all books would give you a good number on the favorite.

    People must be clicking Miami like crazy.

    Wow 4.5 days for bitcoin payout. I did one at nitrogen other day at 3 in the morning and hat it hit my wallet at 3:04. Bovada has some issues. They even do the same thing with "rapid transfer" Pathetic.

    You ain't kidding about that. I used to use Bodog a few years back when I first started gambling, before I found this site and the better books and they bounced 2 checks on me back to back. I had to wait like 90 days to finally get paid and it was only for about $900. I'll never use them again. I don't care if they have the best poker for Americans or good dog lines. It's not worth the hassle, the waiting, the bad customer service, the errors on their end etc. Unless they ever figure out BTC and get legit with it like Nitrogen, Heritage etc. are. I'll never even consider using Bodog/Bovada again. If you spend time reading through threads on this site the majority of complaints are against that book. They don't care about their customers cause if they did they would've fixed all the errors and complaints by now.

    That's really shady and unprofessional. They should've at least given you a quote when you initiated the payout and honored that. Why should the player be subject to volatility in currency due to it taking them so long to complete a transaction? Other books get it right, why can't they? Mickey Mouse book.

    I don't think you guys have thought this through if you actually want to be given a btc price at the moment you request a withdraw rather than given the correct price to receive all your money at the moment of payment.

    There would be waves of complaints from players if Bovada tried to operate the way being suggested.
