I finally threw in the towel on this sports betting site. They had nice bonuses throughout the pandemic so I could put up with their rude customer service (often keeping you on hold for 10 to 20 minutes). Unfortunately, they are inconsistent in how they apply their bonuses and more importantly, there's no transparency. Their Bitcoin Exclusive program is now only for what they deem as "recreational" players (so not a "welcome" bonus but rather a bonus every time you deposit until they deem you a full born degenerate and then you get nothing regardless of how much money you've deposited with their site). In addition, they would periodically throw a bonus your way, but without knowing why, the whole thing just seemed arbitrary and that doesn't give me a lot of confidence that the process is fair. Quite frankly, I'd like to know why I'm getting a bonus instead of this sporadic "hey we just dropped a gift into your account". I just opened an account with Sportsbetting.ag today and feel I will be much happier (especially with their 9% racebook rebate with no rollover).

Scam Casino. Fake jackpots, fake bonuses, fake customer service.
This site is a Unlicensed Unregulated Scam Site. Uses other sites with same games to multiply its scamming of players.
If you read a positive review, it was posted by Bovada employees not any players. I checked, nobody I contacted has written anything positive about these Scam Casinos.
1.2k friends on FB. Nobody trusts these fake reviews. Slots are manually controlled while your playing.
Stuttering slot reels are one sign they're cheating you in real time.
Those "Random Jackpots " are fake.
They will let new fish win at times to get their money and Credit Card info.
Which you'll end up with fraudulent charges on soon.
In review:
These sites are a dangerous fraud and scam site run by thieves that steal your money one way or another.
STAY AWAY! REPORT THEM TO LAW ENFORCEMENT IF THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY!

If you are interested in playing online poker, to where you can consistently lose tournaments or cash games, when your odds are 85 to 90% in your favor until the fifth card drops, then you definitely want to play on Bovada's website. I've played poker for over 40 years and never lost dozens and dozens of hands when I had a 92-93% chance of winning the hand until the fifth and final card drops. I actually believe that in some cash games and maybe tournaments also that you are playing against a computer generated player instead of individuals. I will definitely be looking for somewhere else to play online or go to casino because then at least you only have beat the house not a computer. Yes, I have won tournaments. Yes I have won large amounts on cash games but the only way I was able to accomplish this was to play hands that I would never play live. In other words I would break my pattern of play so computer would not be able to trend my actions and I would win. Example: I have thrown pockets aces away cause they were losers when hand was dealt and thrown pocket ace/king combos away that would have lost repeatedly but I would win on the next hand on a two and seven off-suit because computer had not profiled me to play that hand. Those are just a couple of examples of what I have learned to be the truth on Bovada.

They take your money!
September 17, 2022

When you win and want to collect, they offer their own coins. To get those coins, you need to set an account with them... In the end, you never collect!

Funny, betting small amounts like $1 to 5, you have a chance to win but bet larger amounts, Bovada seems to always have 19,20 or blackjack. Everytime!Everything! Beware.

Bovada wont allow you to cash out.
If you win twice in a day, they will not allow you to cash out. The purposefully hold, funds for a period. Until you cancel the withdrawal.

I opena Bovada account in October 2022
I opena Bovada account in October 2022. I did very well and one day my account was inactive the following day it was active but all the funds I had were gone. I contacted customer care for about a week before I was told my bank had created a "charge back." Once I contacted my back they stated that they had not request a charge back and that they would either have e funded the account or not from the beginning. Here we are now December 12,2022 and Bovada is asking me to give them my bank account information to show that I ha e not yet received the funds they took from my account. My bank suggested that I never give me baking information to anyone in order to maintain a secure account. I expressed this fact to Bovada and now they are telling me this is the only way. They have record of the funds they took from my account so I asked them to show proof that my bank requested the charge back so that I could maintain a safe bank account and get to the bottom of this situation. Bovada is not a reputable company and they are not going to honor a winning account. I believe their strategy to be to make it difficult to withdraw so that you never make a substantial withdraw. If you or someone you know has made a substantial withdraw please contact me.
