Bovada Slow Pay (Or No Pay?)...

[Ace7550]

I did receive an initial email 2 weeks ago asking if they would like me to reach out to Bovada. I said yes but that was the last I heard. I dont know how long these things typically take so maybe this is a normal timeline for BMR? I dont want to disparage them if they are working behind the scenes. I hope they are truly.

I don't want to disparage them either. It is a free service after all. I just seem to be seeing a lot of users with open complaints and little to no communication.

Not sure what is the exact issue you are dealing with.... Sent a payout request to Bovada for 5k and was paid in less than an hour

I can communicate with their "Help Center" if anyone wants

It seems Bovada is cracking down on bonus-takers whose bet size exceeds the max bet size from the bonus's terms and conditions. I gather that Bovada didn't used to enforce this rule and cracked down rather suddenly.

I always used that "MAX BET" icon whether I take a bonus or not and haven't had any problems so far ...

I’m sure this point has been made in this post but I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of dollars Bovada has made letting posters make a deposit, take a bonus, bet over their limit and go bust? I would argue they can’t have it both ways

Actually that point has not been made. And it's a damn good point. I don't think they locked up anyone's accounts while they were busy losing. I believe that's called free-rolling your customers...

While I hate this rule as much as anyone else I was very conscious to make sure to stay within the lines regarding this. Always bet 50% of my deposit as a max bet. I would just deposit large enough that it would never be an issue, even if that meant my rollover was higher than it should have been. I cleared them all anyways so it didnt bother me.

So you didn't even break the max bet rule?

Not once. They have yet to provide any reason why my account is under investigation for 3 months.

Good god that's terrible. I can't believe a book as big as bovada would act like this. Don't they know reputation is huge in this business?

BetUs is now turning into a "deposit only" shop.

Agree, and something needs to be done with sportsbook ratings on this site IMO

100% agree. Players are being steered in the wrong direction at times. For example, Bovada's rating should be suspended until all these issues are resolved.

Today is officially 3 full months of investigation with 0 response from Bovada for me. Over 12k in funds in limbo.

Yesterday they called me to make sure I was ready to bet on the superbowl. I was like, "You guys have my account locked and you are holding people's money ransom. What the hell are you doing?!"
The dude stuttered and then said, "sorry sir," and hung up
