My Lifetime level of 3 nearly 4 was reset to Level 1 with no explanation or resolution. Said they needed a screenshot as proof. They have all the proof. Check your status!

They want you to spend all your money so they can fund their sorry $#*! 3rd world country. This casino is a scam and you have better luck going to a real casino. Every time i go up and try to withdrawal theres always some error keeping me from pulling MY money out. Do not use. Me and my buddies have all deleted the application and dont plan on going back!

This website is thoroughly and completely a scam. I spent two hours in a high-end tournament and was in the top three that was supposed to pay out 5000 and everything shut down and I was never given my my winnings and I tried to cash out what I did have I was told that there was a pay issue and I wasn't allowed to About this website is a scam I'm not even convinced that you're playing actual people all the time in any possible outcome you lose

I generally like playing here but as far as playing poker here it's a fu#$%^& joke. There is no way that 99% of the poker played on this sight isn't against bots. I have never seen so many bad beats in my life and I grew up with a poker player. It would take a lot to convince me that I am playing against more than 10% actual human beings. It's an absolute rip-off and everyone who plays poker on this sight should get thier money reimbursed by them for the sheer principle of the integrity of the game. If your looking yo play poker look somewhere else.

Finally gave up after months of trying. Always. The same results, ill do $1 a spin and nothing. Drop my bet to.20 a spin and wowww, a feature round that barely pays. Their RTP is trash, deposit $100 won $20 staked $120. Deposit $150, staked $500 won $350. And they always give you the same story "its RNG" but cant give you a real company who "test" their games. All over the web, 1000's of horrible reviews.

No real legit casino would treat his customers the way they do let's just say for instance if I lost $10,000 playing Baccarat, why would I need a casino bonus to go play a casino game when I don't even play slots. They have been doing this for a while so I am down maybe 80K in the past 6 months. I am not asking for much but 12 percent back in free play that I can play bacc with why would I want to go play a right casino game that you have to wager 30 times the bonus to win it's almost impossible to do. I can go to a real casino and get back 18% of my theoretical. If we don't come together and demand changes or leave it will never stop when I first started playing they would give points I could buy poker tickets but that has even stopped.

ÍBovada is a complete scam. Any money that you deposit on this website should immediately be considered lost for good. On top of that, do not expect them to honor their advertised deposit match bonuses because they are going to tell you that you didn't enter the correct promo code in the correct spot or anything else. It doesn't matter to them. They are a one and done scam.

My buddy won $1800 and when he tried to withdraw the money they put up hurdle after hurdle making it impossible to verify his identity to send him his money. This went on for two full weeks and they kept on denying his one year old "real id" state of Oklahoma driver's license told him to get his SS CARD which he went and ordered a copy of it and got a temporary verification form and provided that which to nobody's surprise was not accepted. This place is a one way money funnel. If you want to have at least a shot at winning something this is the antithesis to your efforts. You will not receive a dime from them and they straight up tell you they don't care about your reviews because we'll just look on here they are 99.9% complete trash just like the group of thieves that are behind the scam. You are better off chancing money anywhere else in the planet than Bovada. They are 100% thieves and happy to let you know about it.

Date of experience: April 06,2024

Tip for consumers:
Bovada doesn't operate under any US commerce laws. Nor do they adhere to any gaming commission standards. They operate with no checks or government regulations. Any money transfered to their platform is 100% gone for good. They could literally take your deposit and close your account immediately and you would zero recourse. No action to take against them. The only money you should give them is money you are otherwise going to set in the middle of the road and drive away from.

Products used:
This is an online casino if you could call it that although a casino implies there is a chance to possibly win some money. No such chance exists within Bovada. It is a 100% scam

I deposited $200 and played for about 6 weeks. I decided to move to another site that offered more games and had many more players. I had $147 left in the account and they refused to refund it. They said that I had not cleared the bonus. I was only asking for the return of the money that I had deposited and not a bonus. This site should be avoided.

Verified purchase

I've been on bovada for a while with no issues until recently. I deposited $250 to gain a $150 bonus and 2 weeks later my account which had $510 in it was reduced to $0 stating "bonus cancelled". When I reached out to customer service they told me the bonus had expired and that all funds associated with the bonus and the bonus itself were all a part of the bonus which I didn't clear by the expiry date.

How bovada can justify stealing my original $250 deposit is asinine, but it's also extremely wrong to only give 2 weeks to clear a 20x play requirement bonus.

The website itself is great but the odds in sports betting are rarely competitive and their bonus process is clearly corrupt. Would recommend moving your business elsewhere

Worst Casino app i have ever played by FAR, not even close. I wish someone would take down their criminal casino sight. I play my fair share to leave this message for others to stay away from that site. Good luck everyone.

The live bets are not legit, the dealers already see which side will win but pretend they don't know. The support will block you from the chat for 30 days if you notice their fraud and say something. The card reader knows all cards before they are even pulled. It was once that all four cards was already on the screen before she pulled them. Be aware and careful

I had a 12 pick parlay in which I was winning. Bovada cashed me out early. When I reached out to the live chat which is horrible BTW. I was told there was nothing they can do. They will cash you out early if you are winning to keep from paying the big win. Be very cautious. I would not advise anyone to bet here

I got itchy to play online and created an account on bovada. Either I am the unluckiest person in the world or I am being cheated. In a week I have been hit with the worst bad beat over and over and over and all happening on the big hands. Stay away i think the fact that player poolsnames not being shown make it easier for the site to cheat.

I did 100% match bonus and as I earned a lot of earnings I decided I didn't want to do the match bonus. They took their money back and plus all my earnings. Do not play on this website data worse of the worst. I tried to talk to the customer service I tried everything they was not trying to understand my problem, so I had to report them.

The sportsbook is a sportsbook and you take your chances. However, their casino is so rigged that the people running it should be arrested. Don't spend a dime here. By a slim chance you win anything they make you jump through hoops to get your own money. Stay away from them.
