Only reason anyone should have money on Bovada is for poker. Their sports book is easily one of the worst around(still don't have NFL week 1 lines up). As far as payouts they are usually pretty quick. My last payout by check took 5 days to approve (24 - 48 hours average), then 4 days to arrive. They have money g r am and ** as well as wire(min 3k max 10k). Appox $60 fees for western/ gram, and foreign exchange rate on wires which can be a lot, +bank fees. So check is def the way to go.

** is usually 24 hours

wow no NFL lines????

5 days to approve a check and another 4 to get there? that is craaaaazzzzzaaayyyy!

i guess i'll pass. I need mad wagering options.

I received two payouts in August, via check, each one took about 3-4 business days to arrive.

The first check was free, the second one cost $50, I believe.

I really only play poker there. Don't use the sportsbook much at all. I'm not sure what Mangokush is talking about though, they clearly have NFL lines up already.

word.

nice review Giant. How is the customer service? any bad attitudes ?

[The Giant]

They respond to e-mails pretty fast. I haven't had to do any bitch slapping.

[MangoKush]

Yeah they just put them up after I made that post. Usually they are great with their checks too, it was just this last one that took 10 days. Also, they consistently wait until late in the week (usually Thursday) to post the nfl lines during the regular season, and then they put red boxes around them which means you can only make a straight wagers on them.

[The Giant]

Interesting. I just noticed they don't have college lines up already. That's pretty pathetic.

[Bostongambler]

Giant I'm expecting Big things from u this NFL season. No, make that Huge things.

[The Giant]

Talk to me around October, BG.

I haven't placed a wager on a game yet. I need some more Intel.

[MangoKush]

Also no money lines on games with point spreads greater than 10 or less than 3. lol

[The Giant]

Mango, how do you like their poker? I love it. My favorite game is the $130 nonturbo double-ups.

They take about 45 minutes to an hour to play, but I've had some pretty good success, and they fill up relatively fast.

[MangoKush]

I play full time Giant, and I love it. I strictly play the double ups. Usually it is the $50 +$2.50 turbos, however I try and play the 130's late Friday and Saturday nights when all the drunks are out. Those, along with the other games, seem to be the most profitable at that time. I also got refunded $500 not to long ago for collusion. Its great to know that they actually follow up on reports of collusion and take it serious.

[The Giant]

$500 collusion refund? Nice. I wouldn't even know how to go about that. Did you report someone(s) or something?

I used to play those $50 turbos, but most of them just seem to come down to shoving at the end. Way too much variance. I find there to be less in the non-turbo ones, although obviously the play takes longer.

[jjgold]

Only way back in the early days maybe 10 years ago I'm not above Bovada fan anymore

Decent book and been around a long time though

[MangoKush]

When you report suspicious play all you need is the Hand #, Table #, and Players colluding. Just call them up and tell them. I've been refunded 4 times in 2 years. Yeah it definitely comes down to a shoving match at the end, and there is more collusion on the 50's for that reason. I like them better just because its easier to multi-table playing those, because there is less post flop play.....plus like you said they end much faster so you can get more games in.

they never have them up early, ever

[BIGDAY]

Negative.

I think you need to worry more about their reload options than withdrawal methods.

[frenchfry669]

good quick payout never a problem

[Russian Rocket]

any book that charges YOU over 4% to make a deposit is a fukkin joke
I don't play poker, so I can't really comment on that, but late lines, ridiculous juice and delayed payouts ...do we really need to say more?

Bear, you already have 5Dimes acct - that's the best possible option for your geographic location
If you need a second out, look into Bookmaker

[johnnystitches]

REALLY glad I saw this thread.....I am in the process on getting a withdraw from them now. I requested a wire this morning so I will let everyone know how it goes.

As for sports....I like their sports lines (not the way the book is run) because I am primarily a dog player. They ALWAYS inflate favorites, ESPECIALLY first half lines. I am really hoping this goes smoothly because the poker site is terrific---so many options, lots of players and good size games.

I do however, think its a complete joke that one of the largest internet books out there doesn't post college lines until 6PM on Tuesdays. There are a few games I really liked but the lines have moved already.

[TheLock]

Great book if you bet on mostly dogs.

[Gonz312]

Use them strictly for props...never had a problem

I've gained a large payout last 7 years, but this year all the logic, waiting and patience went out the window for me.

Smart is the guy who waits to gather intel.

Bovada was the worse book for complete lines on football out of the 4 offshores I've tried.

[johnnystitches]

Just an update.....its been over 24 hours and no confirmation or response in regard to my withdraw request
