    BOVADA becoming a SCAM BOOK!?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one to get caught by Bovada's new deposit bonus trick... 7 day expiration. Meaning after you deposit you nly have 7 days to complete the 10X rollover. They got me but looking back at it I saw that it was part of the fine print in the bonus description so I couldn't dispute it when my $ vanished.

    In an effort to "win it back" I made another deposit ($300) to get a 50% bonus but this one stated I had 21 days to complete the rollover. However, it was closed after 7 days and my account went from over $300 to $0. I called and did my best to dispute this and have the $ reinstated but the refused.

    I had them permanently close my account and suggest you do the same if you're still playing Bovavda. These offshore books are sinking and getting desperate.

    Rollover very short time periods. Must read the fine print on Bovada.

    Well I deposited a couple hundred and got a 100 bonus and it expired after 2 days and they emptied my account completely on Bovada because I didn't meet the rollover in time. I got on the phone and raised hell.

    They awarded my original $200 deposit back. I had won bets and they wiped that money off my balance also. I didn't read the fine print. My fault.

    Becoming a scam book? They've been one for at least a decade.

    Wow, they are still doing that BS? I dropped them 10 months ago for the same crap. I asked CS about it, and they said that's always been the policy. Bull. I had bonus rollovers working there for months and never had a problem. Looks like I made the right move getting out of there.

    When I logged in one day and saw my funds gone, I couldn't believe it. Incredible anyone plays there.

    Bovada has never stiffed me on a payout. Been on that book for years. Just saying. Crypto payouts are fast too.
