    Bovada slow pay doesn't warrant an A rating from sbr

    Put in a withdraw request which was approved 11 business days ago and when i called today told still no tracking number. I normally use dsi but thought I'd give bovada a try given the sbr endorsement. The restrictive policy on not allowing monday night games to be included in teasers/ parlays and the slow release of lines made me decide to leave. Their site sucks, multiple mistaken bets caused by faulty mobile app which they won't cancel even if you call 1 minute later days before game time. These issues can be understood since they exist to beat you, but when a player wins he needs to be paid ontime to justify an A rating

    Cashed out a handful of times on Bovada and never had an issue.
    they are 100% an A rated book.

    For strictly paying out, yes, they are an A book, But in terms of their sportsbook quality, they are absolutely terrible.

    I never got a tracking number until after FedEx came to my house. I was genuinely surprised. Hope that is the same case with you pal.

    you are delusional. They are the slowest book to post lines, they consistently mark games that cant be used in parlays and they pay at a old school 2 week pace. They are c+ at best and thats only because eventually you do get paid. Are you an affiliate?

    So many things can go wrong

    Don't know how hard you complained, but if you bet big enough and beef heavily, they will take care of you for the slow-pay.
    Buddy of mine has been getting bank-wires and checks little by little slowly cashing out 75k off of 1k investment (poker winnings mostly).
    They have been slow paying him big time, but he's eventually been getting the money, and they have given him tons of free plays and tournament entries for their slow payouts.
    The site is an absolute shithole for sports and I am by no means promoting that hindu-ran joke.
    BUT, my point is, keep complaining to them on a daily basis, and Habib will take care of you.
    They also just approved him for their new debit card and he's already received that, which lets you cash 2500 per week (cash is in hand within 48 hours of withdrawl). It's still in beta so may not be available to the smaller players yet. They told another buddy of mine who is a peanut bettor he wasn't approved for it lol.
    So that could be another option for you.

    And as for SBR and their ratings on books, you shouldn't put too much into that. It's whoever helps them out the most that is going to get a good rating obviously.

    I can confirm similar issues with Bodog as well. This 7 to 10 business days to receive a cheque AFTER it's been approved is terrible and that in itself should take them down from A grade. Also, there is limit on withdrawls of $3k which is another issue. I do appreciate the monthly free withdrawl and they have always paid which is comforting. As for their lines, their way too cautious in posting them. Moneyline wagers also get posted far later in the week on NFL games. Many "full juice" books exceed in this area. The reason I continue to play with them is their reasonable rollover requirement of 3x and the calculation is based on the money risked not money won.

    There are a couple books that pay fast. You need to do your research and stop just bulk posting useless information. Just cause Bovada is a nice moneytrain for SBR doesnt mean they should get an A for C service

    As long as Bovada is sending Lou edible arrangements, the 'A' rating will stand.

    Bovada is a payout machine. Unfortunately given the state of the industry, it may take a few extra days. You'll get paid though.

    also, don't gamble with money you need right away. Hopefully you didn't need this for rent

    I personally have never had a pay out problem with heritage so we can say its the industry which there is some truth to that but the other truth for me is I have had a lot of slow pay outs over the years at bodog/bovada and again me personally none ever at Heritage and some times even same day payout details!!! There will always be excuses like processor problems or I sent the check out last week so I don't know why you didn't receive it yet!!! My opinion is if your happy with a book then stay there. Payouts are the main reason to leave a book. If your not happy about the payouts then who really cares about the great lines you get?

    If you live in the US considering the options it's an A+ book.
    You will always have payment issues with us facing operations.
    If the delay bothers you start using bitcoin as a processing method.

    Bovoda sucks. Took me 2 weeks to get a check and then another week for my bank to clear it. I never went back after that, this was a year or so ago however

    Hi jumper,

    If you've not received an update from a manager on your payout, please file a complaint and we will ask for an update.

    B is the biggest target of the DOJackholes since the bodog Ayre days. Moving $ is a bitch for them but it always comes eventually.

    If we're considering reasons for downgrade payouts isn't the issue imo it's the slow posting of lines and generous circling they tend to do. The limits are already so low the circling especially is a joke. They're still the best poker site for the US players that can get on there but as far as sports they can't be an A.
