Bovada’s new website: Players Chime in

[jjgold]

Many sports books claim now they take more bets via mobile than actual websites on computers

The European books are all geared toward mobile platform… But 365 mobile is better than the desktop version

[daneblazer]

I'm warming up a little to the mobile site. May be a pain trying to sort through 60-70 Ncaa games though.

I just want it so that when i hit 'View All', that all the games come up on my first try. Not on my third, fourth or fifth try.

I also want it so that when i do finally get all the games to show, that I don't have to worry about the page timing out and showing nothing, forcing me to have to go through the entire process over again. Or worse, when i finally do get all the games to show, having my session time out after 30 seconds forcing me to log in again.

I wait until like 5 minutes before game time to place a bet and I do it mostly on my phone.

So far there have been around 10 bets I wasn't able to place because when I was hitting "view all" all the games weren't popping up and I had to keep trying it a few times until they finally showed....then, when I finally got them to show, it timed out just like you said. So by the time I got everything right, the games had started.

Soccer wagering sucks now. It doesn't list the games in chronological order so I have to search by continent, then by country, then I have to go through the view all process and hope it doesn't freeze or time out.

Does live betting even work anymore? I've had trouble betting soccer totals and most of the time now you can't even bet.

Usually when there is a change like this, people get used to it. I'm not getting used to it and it's not getting easier.

Not a fan at all. Horribly slow to load and clunky menu. No way to view what my limits are through the bet ticket window either.

Bovada/Bodog's original interface was simple, elegant and recognizable... part of the Bovada/Bodog identity. This feels like new coke: trying to fix what isn't broken.

[werky]

Your right about the soccer, a big pain searching through all the countries. I loved the tab all todays soccer . Please bring that back!

add bitcoin as a deposit/payout option especially now that bonuses are for new deposits only can't use my balance anymore

[Kindred]

Only one of the slots I usually played is in the casino anymore. I thought for sure they'd be rolling out the rest of the games as they finished updating the website but it's the same crappy slots.
Download casino is missing, I can't find it on the website and upgraded my computer since last time I used the DL version of the casino. Really can't understand why a casino would consider removing slots to be an upgrade to the casino, seems more of a downgrade to me.

[akphidelt]

New site is pathetic. So hard to get live action done. Like it's still offering live bets for the Braves/Cubs game that has been over for 3 hours, hasn't graded the Nats/Brewers yet, doesn't offer anything on the current games. And this is not the first time, it is a usual occurrence. Just an absolute disgrace.

[jjgold]

looks like Bodog took a step back as far as software

[Stallion]

I tried to place bets yesterday; and I kept getting an error message and it said to contact customer service. I sent them a message and they still haven't got back to me. The site is still terrible but I was able to place bets today; without any explanation to why I couldn't yesterday.

[goblue12]

Down for maintenance for quite a while again today.

Site is becoming a joke.

[BigDofBA]

when will the site be back up?

[Boscoe]

Unbelievably horrific site.

WTF were they thinking? Need to completely scrap the new site and go back to old one and just call it a loss.

[Boscoe]

By the way, who thinks this new site is "responsive?" it is slower than Christmas. They obviously did not utilize any of the top front end frameworks like AngularJS or React. That's how you create a responsive site.

[mpaschal34]

Just got a 50% bonus offer in my email. However after reading this, not sure it's worth the trouble. May just go back to 5dimes reduced juice format. Site is very easy to navigate. Opinions out there of anyone playing both?

[bobbywaves]

It's my understanding Bovada charges fees for plastic deposits. Absolutely absurd, who does that?

[thetrinity]

are they still doing the survive the season and semester for this football season?

was nice to get 500 bucks in december

[RickyRoma]

Live betting looks like it will be a real hassle, not liking that, I love to bet quarter to quarter.

[jake2014]

be careful with live betting and a touchscreen computer

I had the quick bet on in live bets. When I go the move the screen, I accidentally placed 2 wagers. Not cool

Good warning.

Why has no one mentioned that they completely abandoned their live football and baseball betting? They used offer unique props for every single play and batter.They are now like 5dimes shit version of live betting. I tried to ask bovada but they give me a vague response. Does anyone know what the hell happened?

I asked them the same question. They said something about software upgrades, and that they hoped to have those every-play props available again soon -- possibly this weekend.

As far as I know, Bovada is still the only site to offer these every-play props.

The software is kind of laggy like the old cake poker software
Anonymous tables are kind of cool.
But so are having screen names.
There should be tourneys offering both.
More micro tourneys and omaha hi and hilo tourneys
In the sportsbook I can't find the results of my plays
In the poker room it takes too long to see the payout structure.
It would be cooler with screen names, and leaderboards
But then also have anonymous tourneys as well.
The site could be really cool if they made some changes.
The live betting doubles the bet sometimes, like one click, and then it clicks twice doubling
Too many satellites, the sit n go structures are too bizarre
Need 3 dollar omaha sit n gos
Double or nothing sit n gos are boring, too many superturbos, and gimmicks in the sit n go lobby
Bunch of call stations everywhere you play poker. I get three bet shoved on when I have the best hand.
Just today I got knocked out on the river by bad beat.
i have aj clubs 1800 in the middle
I have 2700 in my stack
board is j974 2 diamonds
I overbet shove the turn all in
player tanks for thirty seconds calls and turns over j10spades
river 8,
This is why poker is a game of chance because I played the hand perfectly, over bet the pot on the turn
pricing out, every draw. I knew my aj was good, which takes skill. I outplayed the player on every street and lost. This has happened so many times that I havent been able to profit in poker

[thetrinity]

anyone see that promotion they are doing for weeks 2 4 6 and 8 in football, must have a 5 dollar 7 team parlay to be eligible for 50000 bonus overlay? i lose this weekend and i got a 5 dollar bonus, they said 56 winners last week, it would be much better if the 56 winners would chop 50k IMO, thats what i thought they were doing, would be like offering around 280-1 on a 7 teamer

[Buffalo Nickle]

Tried to place a bet on Saturday with 5 minutes to spare and could not get the bet in because the site was so slow and kicked off script errors left and right. Must have hired the healthcare.gov company for the redo.

This site destroys any kind of browser I use like a T Rex.

Anyone else still seeing these sort of issues with script errors?


Wondering if you need an update of some backend software that all your browsers share Buffalo...

[Buffalo Nickle]

I think my browsers have something to do with it. I used to have lots of problems until I wiped the computer entirely and went back to factory install. Haven't had many issues since except with Bovada. The site must have Flash out the wazoo. I don't enough to fix these sorts of things.

Site is still a monstrosity regardless.

[Gonz312]

Don't have much of a problem with the new website...but their new mobile platform they set up to be similar to the website blows. The old one was boring and simple which was a good thing.

[ans61201]

Anyone else experiencing extremely slow payouts

[baharudin]

whats their player history? do they limit fast as bet365 or other?

[MS]

Anyone else experiencing extremely slow payouts

Been waiting since Sept 27 for my 1000

[DISTROYA]

Worst possible sb website ever. New layout gives me headaches. Closed account solely because of the nightmarish setup. They are stupid.

[kidk]

Nope they NO LONGER do any bonuses not even for poker any more !! You think with all the money they saved by not doing this they would of gotten a better website not a website that looked like a 7 yr old intern designed

No what they are doing is just paying u back what u wagered!!

[drthethird]

I flipping dislike it.

They perfectly set it up for junkie bettors who wait to the last minute, because it frustrates the bettor.

Very slow. Impossible to bet multiple sports via a parlay in a decent amount of time.
