    new user at Bovada; Wish my luck; Account Verification in progress

    Hello everyone,

    I am Moony, and I have been using this site for ages, but only created this account very recently.


    Coming to the actual reason of my post here:

    During the recent notice to move out of 5dimes, I opened an account with Bovada. I had an account with Bovada back in 2014/15, but my activity there was almost zero. My old account was closed as it was inactive for mroe than 18 months.


    Since this new account (opened in September, I think), I deposited over 90k USD using bitcoin. I was down to my last balance of $10k, and I hit some parlays, and started playing their live dealer. I am now back at $80k ish.

    The account verification is in the process right now.

    I hope it all goes well. I have no issues at this moment....but just thought it would be good to post in here, and say Hi to the fellow folks.

    I think you all should try the live dealer on their website. Sometimes, it feels rigged, but I have been making good money with the early payout blackjack

    As long as your account isn't in the positive, you should be alright with offshore books that are A rated. Though even if you're in the negative the worse ones might take your big win even if your account is in the negative.

    So does this mean that you are guaranteed to get paid now when you request a payout ? What are all the advantages to completing the verification process? What documents did they ask you for?

    I plan to request a withdrawal soon and may as well get verified as well.

    That's not how it works. You don't ask to be verified. You just request payouts, and they tell you whenever they require verification.

    I think casino's are dumb as penetrate and no one has a real 'edge', no matter what they think. A very high majority of people will lose. Gambling, in general, is dumb. Wish I weren't addicted.

    Are you a bodog shill? You sound like an advertisement trying to put a positive spin on two things:
    1) bovada's verification process, which they use to steal funds from some players
    2) making it sound like the casino is a great way to make money...you acknowledge that you are losing some money, but then making it back by winning even bigger. For 99.9% of people, the opposite will be true. Casinos are a surefire profit center for any online betting site -- they can lose on sports, but can't lose on the casinos since they are rigged (yes, they are. don't try to tell me they aren't).

    1) I just shared my experience here about the verification process.

    2) If I end up having trouble with withdrawals, I will definite post about it. But before doing that, I will discuss the issues with Bovada CS directly.

    3) They seem to have a shuffle pattern that increases odds of house win...... I totally agree. I only didn't lose money till now as I keep taking early payout on 20s and 21s irrespective of the dealer's card. I end up losing 5% - 30% of what I would be making, but I will not risk pushing/losing to dealer making 20/21.

    Hey Moony, since you deposited $90k via btc, then I highly advises you to join their bitcoin exclusive program. Each week you get 50% cash on btc deposits ($500 max so not much for you... lol): 25 free casino rolls (once again, not a lot for you); and 15,000 rewards pts ($15 value). Ofc, some restrictions, but the amount you btc deposited and gambled, then it shouldn’t be any problems.

    I’m Hall of Fame - Red Room rewards level and took me years to get that level. Just curious with the amount you have gambled, what’s your reward level right now? At best, I’ll deposit $90k for 1/2 year. Very impressive.

    Admin - this guy has got to go. He's a Bovada shill that's trying to manipulate people into:
    1) Playing the casino - highly profitable for Bovada
    2) Betting parlays - highly profitable for Bovada

    He's also trying to make it seem like the verification process is a normal thing and people shouldn't fear it, and now he's asking about information that is CLEARLY available on their site like the Hall of Fame and Red Room Rewards.

    This is a giant advertisement/propaganda post from one of that skeevy little perv Calvin Ayre's minions.

    Are you kidding me?? I lost the parlay thanks to the bad Bublik.

    1) I only said that I LUCKILY made and managed to make good profits on the early payout live dealer BJ.

    2) I have been playing parlays since 2018. I made some good money, and lost money too.


    The verification process in my case was not as simple as you think. I submitted docs; they asked for other docs; I re-sent them. I was approved.

    I have no idea who Calvin Ayre is, tbh.

    It's just a higher level in the rewards program. I think you get better ratio on $1 = 1 point, or something. I don't pay much attention to it as it changed about a year ago or something. As far as I know the hall of fame - red room is the top tier. Haven't seen much difference but one thing is nice is that bovada been recently randomly sending "another gift" of rewards. I received this message (see below) a few days ago that came out to $186. But I converted $150 rewards into $300 bonus cash (5x r/o) which was cool.

    Heads up, we just dropped a gift of 186138 Rewards Points into your account!

    Head over to your Rewards Dashboard and click on the OFFERS tab to see what's available.

    Have a great day,

    Sincerely,
    Bovada Customer Service

    I think you need to chill. I can't verify whether he's a shill or not but the info he's saying sounds legit. There are some claiming huge winnings in B. community section. Don't know whether it's true or not but there are some players selling vouchers nonstop in there.

    We don't like shills.

    But saying someone who wants to be positive about a book should be banned, whilst thinking it is just fine to check into multiple other people's threads to abuse a book about who it's owner was a decade ago, is a weird double standard to be arguing.

    Thanks, HeadsterX and Optional.

    I didn't mean to SHILL. I just, for the sake of all the folks, shared my young experience about Bovada here in SBR.


    BTW, just got my second installment of $9500 sent to me via BTC.

    Hucakz loss today to Sonego hit my parlay and round robins pretty hard. But the good thing is that the lost $$$ are reflected into my VIP points. I am very close to reaching the HALL OF FAME level.
