    Bovada 12.5% withdrawal fee

    Bovada claims to have a policy of "1 free withdrawal per month", and a max withdrawal of $3000 by check.

    I've received free withdrawals via check numerous times in the past.

    Recently, Bovada informed me that I can only withdraw a maximum of $400, and they are charging a $50 fee (no more free monthly withdrawal). This amounts to a 12.5% fee, which seems ridiculous IMO (not to mention contrary to the disclosed terms of service).

    Anyone have a similar experience with Bovada? Is there anything I can do, either to get the fee waived, or increase the amount of withdrawal?

    I see they have a $400 max with P2P. Check policy still seems to be the same. I don't see any reasons for concerns looking at my account.

    If you make a request and they limit you, I'd file a complaint because it is in their Terms & Conditions that you can request the full amount of your account.

    Copy and pasted directly off my balances page:
    Bovada will send you one FREE withdrawal per calendar month by eligible methods.

    yea, they are telling me i cant get checks anymore. i can only do P2P and that has a $400 max with a $50 fee.

    12.5% withdrawal fee is ridiculous.

    This story seems a little sketchy. Why do they say they will only send you a P2P? What's gone on with your account? Have you spoken with multiple reps? Seems to be something that only applies to you.

    If you can't get it worked out, file a complaint. I imagine SBR can get it straight unless Bovada just doesn't trust you for some reason.

    someone probably cashed a check and then said they didnt get it like a complete sketchball. love the people on here who forget to tell the whole story and that play at books like bovada because real books would throw them to the curb in seconds

    Bovada needs to work on the CC Deposit "fee percentage." It's outrageous. If you aren't going to offer clients "other" ways to reup... as a business you bite the bullet on the fees. It's not the "client's" fault.

    But they must be satisfied with the income that their making. Otherwise they would of changed it by now.

    I just got a check delivered yesterday for the max 3k, probably requested it a week or so before that. If this is really their policy now it must be really new, and it's really shitty.

    they are telling me it's because i'm located in new york. but i dont understand why this would affect my withdrawal methods.

    any other NYers playing at bovada? would like to find out if this is truly their policy or if they are just trying to gouge me.
