they never tell me why my Red Room Hall of Fame was taken away. took me over 14 years to achieve it, they game it to me and a HOST name Ray. After about 2 months Bovada took my Red Room Hall of Fame away. I have written to them asking for a reason.

Bovada Sportsbook is pretty damn good not going to lie ... Of coarse there are ways to improve it but definitely for the most part they do good work ... Not gambling site is perfect but since I been with Bovado over the few years it has been good to me and I'm not going to complain... They have giveaways, trivia which gives you a chance to win some free money of coarse there is a rollover but I'm satisfied with the challenge and offers they provide ....

Reliable, Easy to Use and Fast Payouts
I’ve had a great experience with Bovada. The site is easy to navigate, there’s a wide variety of betting options, and placing wagers is straightforward. Deposits have been simple, and withdrawals have been processed reliably in my experience. I also appreciate the range of live betting options and promotions available. Overall, Bovada has been a convenient and dependable platform for me, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an easy-to-use online sportsbook.

You can trust Bovada to pay out in a timely manner. They generally correct any issue you have. Just stay away from their deposit bonuses. They are a joke, if you claim a 200 dollar match bonus, you will have to spend 10,000 dollars in slots or 4500 dollars in sports bets to cash out any money you won off that 200. Everything else is great, just hope they change that bonus crap.

Whats the point im telling you I got live feed i watched my girl play four deposits of 300 or more and not one single hand was won. One more time not one single hand was won. If you don't pay attention to me you gonna wish you had. To my gamblers ask yourself where you been playinf cards and have not won single hand. And they offered nothing. At least in real casino you get a drink and some food. Come on people better wake up they not in the U.S. so if thet want get you they can. Once again thet are not regulated so fairness is questionable so pay attention close to the script they post. I am trying to be helpful

I switched to Bovada & will never go back
I switched over to Bovada so I could do prop parlays and take cashout offers on my sports bets & ended up having some amazing luck that locked me in for life. Even if sportsbetting was 100% legal in my state, I would never switch to the mainstream brands. Bovada typically better odds on sports than those platforms as well. Overall highly recommend. Personally never had any issues, and I've withdrawn thousands of dollars several times with minimal wait times.

I was playing a bonus reward and the play through was supposed to be 20% and I wasn’t able to withdraw until well over the 20%.

The RNG is not real on this site!
The RNG is not real on this site!! You can try it for yourself, they say blackjack "doesn't" count towards your bonus fulfilment.. but they dont stop you from playing it with your bonus funds. Now if the game was so RANDOM, how would it know to win every hand in blackjack only on bonus funds?? Their exact words were you cant manipulate the games..so that alone tells that it IS NOT RANDOM GENERATED NUMBERS!! They give these lil BS bonuses to HALL OF FAME STATUS, so if you trying to achieve that dont waste your time!!! The bonuses get smaller, no free spins, and they customer service that claims real people, have the same exact prompted responses!!! Marie tells me she working to get her mother a gift for her Birthday..Ricardo mom just happens to have a birthday next convo, hes working to get his mom a gift,,Jose next time, he is working to get his mom a gift, yea ok, real people yea ok... screenshots for months were no real help or real activity from customer service! They only response with excuses here to try and protect business!!! IF THERE IS ANYONE WORKING TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS SITE, PLEASE POST INFORMATION ON HOW TO JOIN AND GET THIS SITE TAKEN CARE OF AND OUR MONEY BACK!! THERE RESPONSE: THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW OF OUR SITE, YOUR ETC. THEN EXCUSES...STOP STEALING PEOPLES MONEY AND GIVE FAIR GAME PLAY.. 15 CONSECUTIVE LOSES IS NOT FAIR OR RANDOM GAME PLAY, STOP LYING TO CUSTOMERS!! NO ONE IN THE WORLD WILL LOSE 15 CONSECUTIVE HANDS AT BLACKJACK, AND NOT TO MENTION NOT EVEN GET A BLACKJACK HAND(21)!!! YOU CAN DOUBLE DOWN AND GET A 20, THEY WILL FLIP 6 OR 7 CARDS JUST TO BEAT YOU WITH 21, 18 THEY HAVE 19 15 CONSECUTIVE HANDS AND THEY SAY RANDOM?? THEN COME TO THIS SITE ATTEMPTING TO JUSTIFY 😡 BE BETTER IF THEY KEPT THE LYING RESPONSE THEYRE ABOUT TO GIVE TO THIS POST IF THEY DONT FLAG IT FIRST

629,773.84 Lifetime Points. All-Star Level 3. And my advice? Turn around.
With 629,773.84 lifetime points, Bovada considers me an All-Star Level 3 customer.I’ve made it through Starter → Rookie 1, 2, 3 → Pro 1, 2, 3 → All-Star 1, 2, 3.And I’ve done all of that in about one year.In other words, I’ve walked a pretty long way down the road with Bovada in a relatively short amount of time. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time on their site, played an enormous number of hands, deposited a lot of money, and watched their bonuses, promotions, and overall customer experience change along the way.And after walking that far, my advice is simple:Turn around. Go somewhere else. Save your money.What started as a fun gambling experience gradually became something that felt very different. Over time, I found myself depositing around $1,000 a week, sometimes watching $100 disappear almost immediately, and increasingly questioning whether I was having a fair and worthwhile gambling experience.I’m not going to claim that Bovada is intentionally making it harder for me to win. I can’t prove that.What I can tell you is what I’ve personally experienced.The bonus system is where things really started bothering me.For a good portion of my time on Bovada, I regularly received free, non-deposit bonuses. Sometimes they were offered daily, generally somewhere between $10 and $70, with around $30 being typical.Did I usually lose those bonuses quickly?Absolutely. 😂But that wasn’t really the point.Those little bonuses gave me something that became increasingly important the longer I played: hope.Even if it was only $30, it felt like another chance to get back in the game. Another opportunity to turn things around. Another little shot at getting myself back to where I wanted to be.I knew I could lose it five minutes later, but for that moment, I felt like I had some level of hope that I actually had a chance.And honestly, that feeling mattered.Then I started noticing something.If I had any existing bonus balance—even something as ridiculous as $0.01 left from a previous bonus—my request for a free, non-deposit bonus would be denied.So I tested it.I’d request a free bonus and get denied. I’d then forfeit the remaining $0.01 bonus balance, immediately submit another request, and the free bonus would be approved.I did this multiple times.I’m not guessing about this. I tested it myself.After dozens of denied requests and repeatedly seeing the same thing happen, I eventually figured out that having even a tiny amount of an existing bonus sitting in my account could prevent me from receiving another free bonus.And then the promotions changed.The $1,000 deposit offers are a much more recent development. One I can’t forfeit unless I make the deposit. I didn’t see these throughout my time moving through the lower tiers. They only started appearing once I reached the higher All-Star levels.I’ve now had this type of offer appear three or four times.The offer is essentially a 100% match on your next crypto deposit, up to $10,000, with a minimum $1,000 deposit.On the surface, that sounds generous.But after everything I’ve experienced on Bovada, it doesn’t feel particularly generous to me.For a good portion of my time on the site, I received small free bonuses that gave me another chance to get back in the game.Now I’m increasingly being offered promotions that require me to put more of my own money into the account.And when the minimum deposit is $1,000, that’s a very different proposition. Not to mention the enormous $20,000 play-through requirement. Maybe there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for how Bovada’s promotions are generated. I don’t know.But after experiencing these changes firsthand, the overall impression I’ve been left with is that the emphasis has shifted from rewarding an existing customer to encouraging that customer to deposit more money.At some point, I stopped feeling like a gambler and started feeling like a fundraiser or sponsor for Bovada.And that’s ultimately what changed my opinion of the site.It doesn’t feel like loyalty being rewarded. It feels like loyalty being monetized.I’ve accumulated 629,773.84 lifetime points in roughly one year.I’ve walked through Starter, all three Rookie levels, all three Pro levels, and into All-Star Level 3.I’ve given Bovada an enormous amount of my time and money.And after walking that far down the road, I don’t feel like a decorated or appreciated longtime patron.I feel like a dollar sign.Maybe your experience will be different.Mine wasn’t.And that’s why I’m writing this.If you’re still early in your Bovada experience, seriously consider taking your money somewhere else before you’ve walked as far down this road as I have.629,773.84 points later, my advice is simple:Turn around. Save your money. Go somewhere else.
