Bottom line here, I wasn't trying to scam anyone or break the rules. I think this policy of calculating your own max bet is ridiculous too.
I'm trying to come to an amicable resolution. BMR won't help me. Bovada won't be reasonable. I suggested I get 1/3 of winnings. That more than fair. But...
I did receive an email from them telling me not to bet over the max. But I thought they would just cap the max and not allow me to bet more than they wanted me to. Thats what every other site does. If they don't want me to bet more than a certain amount thats fine. Just put a cap on my betting...
I've been going back and forth with bovada some more. I attached the email string below if anyone is interested:
But some of that money was won with my own personal cash. Not the bonus funds. A more fair solution would be to confiscate some of the winnings. Not all of them. You should let me...
Well after 5 months I'm giving up on this. Bovada doesn't respond to me anymore and BMR hasn't helped me in any way. Bovada stole 9k from me. Good luck to those still trying.
I would love it if this Lou person could please contact me. Bovada sent me an email saying that they weren't going to take my funds and just warned me about the max bet bonus rule. But they did take all my funds. I still think it could be that one department doesn't know what the other is...
Just messaged Matt asking for an update. Been almost 2 and a half months since Bovada decided to empty out my account. Tough to think I'm gonna see any of this money after that much time
Haven't gotten a response from Bovada in a long time. They are just completely ignoring me now. The least they could do is respond and say they are keeping my money. Right now I still don't know if they intend to keep it or if its all just a big miscommunication between departments.
I just got that 100 percent bonus too. These people have no idea what they're doing. I wonder if they even know that accounts are locked and money has been stolen.
Shout out to Matt from BMR who reached out via email and is now trying to help with my case.
Just to summarize and be transparent, below is all the info I gave Matt about Bovada stealing my winnings:
Hi Matt,
Thanks so much for reaching out and trying to help with this. Let me give you a play...
