After speaking with a friend he said to give Bovada a try. I tried depositing through a CC and was lied to by Bovada. Horrible customer service and they want to charge a 6% fee on top of the deposit. Fuq these trash clowns!

[Kike Anderson]

What was their lie?

They have my account on hold for an 'investigation.' Genuinely have no clue what it could be as I generally don't even take bonuses with them. Said it should be 48 hours to investigate has been almost a week. Needless to say I am questioning whether I will deposit with them for football season as they can just put your account on hold for "something similar" occurring with another account. That is all the info she gave me.

Blowvada

[hubie69]

So I also have a Bovada account. It evidently was "compromised" this weekend, along with SEVERAL others. My account was reimbursed for what was spent/taken and a new account was setup. They had it straightened out within 24 hours. They did right by me, however, it sounded like, from their customer service, they had a major breech last week. Take it with a grain of salt, it's hearsay from a customer service rep but be warned....

[mrpapageorgio]

Considering their Twitter was also knocked out, something happened. Just got an email to follow their new Twitter.

[A4K]

CS told me a cc was declined when it wasn't even attempted. When I caught them lying they made some other story up. Basically wanted BTC only. Screw them. Back to 5Dimes 4 me.

[SBR Drew]

Bovada has been and continues to be a solid book. Like most books at time they can have deposit delays.

[jjgold]

I have not played their in over 7 years, I rarely here negatives

[cx89]

They grade fast, (instant for esports which is literally insane compared to other books).

I feel like my money is the safest here (never got the sense they are trying to squeeze anyone).. Bonuses have low roll-over requirements.

Odds/selection are very competitive on everything but reduced juice books are better for spreads and totals.

Rarely ever goes down, and customer service is actually helpful and somewhat nice to you. Really underrated book.

Bovada solid. Get bitcoin if you don’t like the cc fees

[Daddy89]

I hate Bovada...

[sNoWmAn2169]

Yea, once I started using Bitcoin I never looked back. Sooooo much easier.

[Pr0ph3t]

I used Bovada a few times with Bitcoin. I raped them. They paid. ZERO issues...

[Itsamazing777]

Bovada paid me when collusion was discovered about a month later. Pretty cool. That being said it's for poker only. Its a.square sports site

[mrpapageorgio]

The juice on the spread in general sucks at Bovada, and generally you get less favorable ml on the dogs. However, the juice on ml favorites I have found sometimes to be much better than other books if you shop around. They also sometimes have decent *odd* props I can't find at others.

It's not my primary book, but they are on my list to consider.

[Venom72]

My only issue with bovada is the payouts, theyre are usually within a few hours or a couple of days, usually the latter...no reason why a btc payout should take days when you other sites that can do it in a few hours almost every time

[Headsterx]

They do have some problems especially with payouts. Last year it would sometimes take 3-5 days to receive it. But currently it's been a few hours to process them. And some odds are the worst.

I might have stopped using them but then came out with their reward program which is cool. I've been at Hall of Fame level since beginning of the year and hoping to get VIP by invite but so far no invite. It's not on the level as Heritage but overall it's a decent book. Do have wider selection of live betting games.

Why use CC in first place, wouldn't you then need to jump through verification hoops to cash out? Bitcoin easily best way to fund/withdraw, nobody asks who you are or to prove it.

Either A.) You don't have cash and want to bet on credit. or B.) Because nobody wants to take 5 minutes and go on Youtube and learn how to do it. With Cash App now widely selling Bitcoin in the States (I don't know if they expanded beyond that), there's no excuse why Bitcoin can't be used by everyone here (barring the one who got their Bitcoin withdrawal privileges revoked).

What ???

It is known that dogs at Bovada are $$$$

When I have comparison line shopped, I have usually seen the dog + money always lower than the other books and sometimes the favorite money being good. YMMV, but I'm just saying in general I avoid them for spread bets, however I will check them out for ML bets since they can be better than other books.

That's the thing with Bodog/Bovada, they are very thoroughly bankrolled. They may boot or cripple-limit you but they ALWAYS pay out.

Don't you have to jump through the same hoops to cash out Bitcoin? Not sure, haven't done it yet. GL on your bets today

Dog ml are usually shit but NFL you might get better juice or 1/2 pt better at bovada on spread.

Nope, I have never had an issue. Bitcoin is as good as cash.

[DeathAdder]

Bovada top notch sports book. Solid lines for dogs, instantaneous payouts, overly generous bonuses
Been with them for 15 years and counting and haven't had 1 issue in that time. Top tier sportsbook imo

[hubie69]

Well yeah, going to bitcoin, but moving that into actual cash, isn't that a pain?

I mean from Sportsbook's perspective. Less measures required for Bitcoin users because there are no risks like with ************, such as chargebacks. As for converting after receiving, can withdraw instantly from regular ATM with Bitcard.

I guess that's my point, regardless of how you want to get money out of the sportsbook, it's always been a pain. I've had good luck with getting checks from Bovada, sure it takes a week or so, but if you're so hard up you can't wait a week you shouldn't be gambling (Not you specifically LT, just whoever).

Bitcoin or getting out of the casino, it shouldn't require such legwork. I'm looking forward to local sports betting getting legal. Just cash a ticket, get cash. No bullshit.

[5918mike]

They closed my account after a CC transaction said it was declined. I noticed it went through on my CC account so I logged back in to find the balance was there but the bonus was never applied. I asked about the bonus and they just send me a link to their offers but won't address it specifically and now my account is closed.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Does Bovada have 10 cent MLB lines anymore? I am only seeing 20 cent lines.
