Scam not worth it
February 12, 2025

Unfortunately you deposit your funds with debit but they don't pay you back in the same currency. They don't even tell you this until it is time to get your money. I don't know how tf bitcoins and crypto currency works. I regret using them and never will again

Please use another book. Even if people have said they have had no problems, just don't take the chance. USE ANOTHER BOOK. I placed a bet on live virtual horse racing for fun...for 1 and 4 to show. 1 won but I DIDNT WIN! I was so confused so I went back to check the results...and they changed them. They literally just changed the results like I dont have eyes of my own. I was watching the previous races and the results were consistent. The live video showed 1 won, and the announcer said 1 won! So why are the results showing 6 won?! It truly baffled me. I contacted support and of course they are of no help AT ALL. They keep saying there is nothing wrong with the races. It's not about the loss. WE ALL KNOW WE LOSE! But this is ridiculous. Straight scamming. Not even shady bad odds, wrong totals... which they have done before too, but STRAIGHT UP REWRITING OUTCOMES! I feel so gaslit. Don't put any money on there. You are going to be frustrated at some point when they pull some BS.

Terrible App
February 13, 2025

Don't use. You will not be able to withdraw your money. The minimum amount to get back to your bank is $1,500 with $100 fee. Terrible customer service. Save your money use another app to play

SCAM SCAM SCAM
December 31, 2024

SCAM SCAM SCAM! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SPORTSBOOK. I haven't used bovada in 4+ years so they closed my inactive account. I had to create a new account in order to bet with them again so I did. I deposited $1000 and received a $750 bitcoin bonus. It took me a month to fulfill the 5x rollover but I finally did and just requested a withdrawal of $5,716.43 on 12/30/24. Today, 12/31/24 they terminated my account and are refusing to pay me because I had an account 4+ years ago that they closed out due to inactivity. They also sent me an email saying it's against their rules to bet your entire deposit ("all in") on 1 game. They are looking to STEAL your money and if you win they will make it impossible to collect. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS AND STAY AWAY.

Now i have read many reviews on here and seen some individuals that are pro bovada and for those individuals, I am glad to see someone enjoys the service. For me personally, I have bad nothing but hatred towards the organization and the service that is provided. The live scoring is a joke never providing accurate scores and the odds are based on this. As a better, you can't trust anything with international games with the exception of soccer. I've bet countless basketball games where the score is 70-70 in the 4th quarter with 5 minutes left and then the score is magically 75-73 with no time run off the scoreboard. If there is an issue reported on an in play bet, good luck. Their policy is adjustments cant be made to bets that aren't made before the start of a game. This isn't a post complaining about losing cause everyone on here has lost bets that's the nature of betting but the expectation is that when you are betting, you aren't at a disadvantage by betting on inaccurate odds and scoring. That is a scam in my opinion and we should all file a class action lawsuit against this shady platform.

Took my money.
November 2, 2024

I have had my bovada account for over 3 years I hadn't played on my account in a few months and had changed my phone number.I deposited money and played I got up to a point where I wanted to withdrawal.My old phone number was still tied to the account and it requires a code sent to your phone number to request a withdrawal.I went ahead and contacted support and was waiting with them for about 45 minutes just for them to say I was in a banned area and could not play.Never had any issues before but they suspended my account stating that reason.Terrible customer service would not recommend to anyone.
