    I give Bovada a C rating. PAIN IN THE ASS
    What a pain in the ASS! I won money from them and called and said I would like a check sent to my house. They said your account is not set up for that. I asked to be set up for that. They said they couldn’t do it. I asked why and they said because they couldn’t do it. They wouldn’t tell me why. At this point the customer service agent was getting pissy. I asked to talk to a manager. After waiting 10 minutes she gets back on and said they are too busy. I then asked to explain how bitcoin works. She quickly went over it and left it at that. I WILL NEVER USE BOVADA AGAIN. They are a pain to deal with and I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE THINKING ABOUT USING BOVADA......DON’T.

      i am not crazy about bitcoin but i use it. simplifies things somewhat but the fees with coinbase add up. it doesn't excuse their response to you.

            Even after waiting nearly 3 hours yesterday for my bitcoin deposit to get a confirmation and funds to be put in my Bovada account I still would advise anyone to use this option. The payouts are FREE and arrive much quicker than a check that you will have to wait on the bank to clear since it will be drawn on a Canadian account. I've been offshore for 20+ years and I reluctantly got on the bitcoin train about 9 months ago and now I wonder why the hell I waited so long to do so.
            Bovada has a "bitcoin advisory team" that will take as much time as you need to help with deposits and even with withdrawals. Try them......thank me later!!
            GOOD luck........let's go Chiefs for SB!!

              I deposited there yesterday using bitcoin. Took about an hour. Not their fault. I understand they have to wait for the network to have a couple confirmations. I haven't had any negative experiences at Bovada.

                They ALWAYS pay. As long as youre not angle-shooting they will pay you. Get to them with any frequency and they almost certainly will boot you but they will settle up with you as you're being shown the door. Can't say that about too many shops. The multitude of fresh threads every day on these boards is testament to that. If people want to wait for a check or risk Munnneyygraaam/ dubya union they should still be offered that option.

                  agreed. if someone wants a check and accepts the risk of the check not arriving so be it, that is their choice.

                      There's clear reasons that they are a must-have out ...

                          Did they give you a reason? How much did they limit you to?

                            no reason just book manager decision/ careful consideration/ decision bullshit message. Promptly after I dumped a huge loss on a CBB game saturday.
                            games went from 2000 to 200; across the board 10 x reductions. Some games can only bet $25-50 bucks. And they gave a bonus now a pain to calculate rollover; had no problems with the regular limits. Such a shame. Great variety thats why I signed up, and they pull this shit. I'd hate to see how they treat their winners. Anthrax delivery through fedex to your door perhaps?

                              You must have scared them somehow. You would not be limited if they thought you would lose long term.

                                That's pretty F'ed. Especially when you are down.

                                  Surprising. I like Bovada. Never had a problem. Do they have a history of limiting people?

                                      I don't think they are super fast to limit compared to other rec books, but they do limit sharp action or steam chasers.

                                          You must be better than you realize.

                                          Doubtful they did it without a mathematically backed reason.
