    Curious on thoughts on this transaction.

    I had a friend sign up for bovada as he was looking for an online book for football. Sent him a referral link. It was also his birthday so when he signed up I transferred 50 dollars to his account as a gift. He then deposited 500 bitcoin and I was told my customer service I could not receive a referral bonus since I gifted him 50 first. Does that seem right??!

    On their end it must look like you may be trying to set up another account for yourself.

    Yes, I totally understand why they wouldn’t give you the bonus.

    I usually buy scratch tickets as gift for my friends. Better luck winning a prize than gambling it all way on chalk.

    I would think that with my current balance and how long I’ve been playing with bovada. Highest vip level they would see I wasn’t trying to be shady. But whatever

    Well damn. If he deposited 500 bitcoin, I'm pretty sure he could afford to toss you a few bones.

    What is with cats transferring money to other players accounts? Just seems like your asking for trouble. So what if they “allow” it? They also hang dog shit live lines and let you bet those and lose.
