Bovada Ratings Archive

Beware of this casino (and Ignition etc.)! After winning big, i went to cash out into bitcoin, only to find that i must tell them my social security number AND my mothers maiden name (for security of course =]). HMMMM. i don’t think so. Take that info, along with the info given during sign up and you have a perfect recipe for IDENTITY THEFT! then if you read further down they say not to label your bitcoin wallet with anything that has to do with gambling (cause it could mean trouble for them). I told them to keep my winnings and to close the account, which they merely ‘disabled’ it in case i change my mind. hahaha. (You mean so that you can go back and skim my personal data!) BITCOIN IS ANONYMOUS and therein lies security. Not by giving out sensitive identifying information! Having said that, the software works great. There is a pretty good selection of games and pretty good account management/interface. (not that any of that is worthy of the info they want). so i guess we are all gamblers and taking risks is what it’s about, so if you’re willing to risk having your identity stolen by who knows who in who knows what country, then this is the place.

It’s been a while since I’ve played there but i enjoyed playing slots and poker there before.

Bovada has the games I like and occasionally they offer players a bonus. I like that Bitcoin deposits are available and withdrawals via Bitcoin are offered. They have an error on their Rival platform that Vegas Crest corrected in 2 days…12 months no fix on Bovada. You play in a game and the patterns are favorable…wilds showing up and bonus icons firing and RTP is in the 90%+ range. Continue to invest because hopefully the bonus fires and you will get paid out. For 12 months randomly an error occurs and they originally stated it was just me and my desktop…so I tested it. I received the same issue on mobile, same issue on tablet, and same issue on laptop. I even verified it was not a network issue by reproducing it in a hotel as well. When this happens here is what happens: This is the results of a live recent session on Golden Gorilla: 1. 91% RTP – Again running well…possibilities of a nice hit looking good. 2. Error occurs…bounces you out of the game. An error I have provided a screenshot that contains the exact error code. 3. Go back into the game: Wilds disappear…bonus icons hit but the payouts are less than 3x…every time. RTP drops to 64%. This is actually good…I have 330 screenshots and RTP data points tracked. ON ALL 330 sessions the RTP drops well below 70% with many instances of 20%. This same exact error…fixed in 2 days on Vegas Crest. Bovada…not fixing it because it obviously works for the casino. Completely unethical…if you play you not only have to defy the odds that are in favor of the casino…if you by chance begin to do well…this random error will occur on their Rival platform. They have a small selection of RTG games so you can play those, but they removed the BetSoft platform…conveniently after the jackpots were at record highs…everyone knew they would remove it before allowing them to hit. I can provide screenshots of both the data and the errors so please do not disapprove this as a claim with no facts. I have them. Every player should be aware that not only will they potentially receive this error in the middle of a well invested session, but they will be dealing with the most unethical site online. Again 2 days to fix when reported to Vegas Crest 12 MONTHS with DATA and SCREENSHOTS provided and NO FIX on Bovada. Completely unethical and completely impacts the integrity of play. Yes you can get lucky…if you do cash out and stay away from the Rival platform…They do payout. Sometimes they have delays with their processors, but I have found they are consistent with Bitcoin. They do have another unethical practice which is they do not allow the players to remove funds from their playable balance. If you request a withdraw…it stays in your playable balance until they process it…and they take their sweet time doing that hoping you will go back in and play. Again 330 sessions showing this error occur where RTP was normal and then dips well below the worst RTP online after the error occurs.

I like playing the slots here. Wish they had more no deposit bonus codes

I have been playing on Bovada for a little over two months now and I enjoy learning about betting on the horse races. They are very helpful. The only complaint I have is that they took away my favorite game. Virtual Racing. Otherwise this is a good site for beginners.

I used to play poker here a few years ago but never won enough to withdraw. Stopped playing poker for a while after that. Recently I’ve discovered how fun and addictive online casinos are. So I’ve taken to playing slots, blackjack, roulette etc. Bovada every once in a while would send me an email with a free chip to play with. Never turned it into anything. That is until yesterday. Managed to take a 10$ free chip up to 700+ USD$. Which to a lot of you may not seem like a lot, but that’s a great deal of money to me. So I immediately came here to see what the reviews said about withdrawing. And I was shattered. A 1. 88, I thought… sh**. I’ll never see a penny of that money, that I used a free chip to obtain. Well much to my surprise I just received a fat deposit into my BTC wallet from Bovada, THE NEXT DAY. So all of you complaining about not getting paid, I dunno what you’re on about, cause they were on the ball. I sent them an email asking about timing window, they stated, 48 hour review period, possibly more. Then once approved 15 mins for your BTC to be released. They shattered the timing for both. And I’m over the moon. So anyone thinking Bovada is shit, give them a shot, maybe now that they’re doing BTC withdrawals, it’s different. Hell, I’m gonna throw a little bit back in just cause I’m so happy they honored the payment. Sorry for the long winded review, but I feel they deserved credit seeing all the poor reviews here. Nothing! They honored payment from a 10$ bonus chip after wager reqs were met. If I had to complain about anything, it’s the idiots that chat in the poker games. Wish you could mute them.

they dont have live support on the internet you have to call and there only withdrawl options for washington is bitcoin now witch to me after researching i find confussing they used to be able to withdraw and have them put it on a credit card but thats no longer an option

I like the Bovada its very similar to Slots lv casino. Lots of options and if you want some sports betting this is the place to go. Not the best payouts I have seen online but average at best. Give it a shot, if you like sports!

I opened my account with Bovado an hour ago with thirty dollars, using my visa card. They did not charge me a fee to fund. I OPTED NOT to take any bonuses, and now have requested a check for 107.00. Will update how long it takes to receive. It says usually there is a fifty dollar charge, but they give you a payout free each month I guess…? They do quote 48 hours to review the request, and two weeks to process the check and for me to receive it- will update through the process. So far so good for this casino though, as I did win significant money with small bets =O)
