My uninformed guess is that they use a broker for bitcoin deposits/payouts, so it is probably subject to the same type of 3rd party risk that other methods have. The broker may make a mistake, information isn't relayed as fast as it should be, or worse the broker may run off with the funds just like some of the more traditional payment processors have in the past.
That being said, it seems that Bovada always
eventually makes it right when it comes to processing errors, no matter what method is having the problem. If there is ever a point where someone never gets their coins/checks/vff/wire, and they refuse to refund the money, then I think it would be legitimate to be worried but until then I think its the same old deal and we should expect issues occasionally when wanting to send/receive money to an offshore gambling website as a US customer.
