Awww man, sorry about that. Didn't mean to get your hopes up. I'm wondering if they sent that to me because of my deposit issues. I've been on the phone with them multiple times in the past couple weeks (NY player)... they probably know I can't deposit so they're offering it to me knowing I can't take advantage of it LOL

Are withdrawals put back on to the NS card or check? Can you do wires? I don't really care that much about getting money on, it's getting money off that matters most.

Also how long are withdrawals taking on average?

checks would be your option for payout...3-4 weeks timeframe

If deposited via NS, your withdraw will be via check. If you deposit via WU/MoneyGram, your withdraw will be via WU/MG. I've been able to pick up WU/MG's literally within 24/48 hours. Checks, depending on where you reside, will usually take 2 weeks to arrive. No wires are accepted (at least in the states).

One thing you can't say bad about Bodog/Bovada is their lightning speed payouts.

Is there anything bad that I should know?

Well if you aren't familiar with Bovada, their tables are anonymous. Meaning no players names are shown at the tables. This can be good or bad depending... Good because no grinders can access your info with a HUD and have an upperhand. Bad because it opens the door for casino-side shinnanigans as well as player collusion. (no one knows who or WHAT is sitting next to you).

Besides that issue, I like the site. I've done fairly well there. There's a decent amount of soft players. The customer service is top notch. You can always call and get a live person. More traffic would be nice on the sng side but its a good site all around for the U.S. player.

Perfect. I actually like the anonymous idea. If the sites do their job there should be no colluding anyway. Can you track your own stuff like HH and ptr stats? I would think with the anonymous that would be a big no.

Thank you for the hasty replies.

I never got that email regarding the deposit bonus getting a free tournament ticket, but I definitely sent them a message about it because I want to play in that HU tournament and loaded money for sportsbetting..

Will be interesting to hear their response

same here let me know

I emailed them and got it credited

No more Bovada for NY players.

I just received the activated netspend visa card (with my name) in the mail. Tried depositing up to the 10 tries and no dice. I called CS and they said they discontinued accepting any deposits from anyone in New York state a week ago. WTF. It would have been nice to receive an email from them about this...

They even emailed me with a free ticket into a $100 HU ticket yesterday with a deposit of $!00 or more. Why the **** send that to a NY player when you know I can't deposit. Such a dick move.

Pissed.

Now you know for sure; and I'm sorry to hear it. I was keeping my fingers crossed for ya. I really find it unbelievable that customer service couldn't tell you that a week ago. It could have saved a lot of hair from being ripped out of your head.

Thanks for all your help Bob. Ya kind of a dick move on their part but oh well.. As you said, at least I know. I'll be shiftin over to ACR (fml). If you play there, pm me your name and lets play game or 2!

This is correct...I bought a Netspend Card ages ago when Bovada was actually Bodog. Bought and loaded the card (plus a 3.95 activation fee), and 20 mins. later I was good to go and playing.

FWIW when I did recieve my Netspend Card in the mail I cut the other one and started using my permanent card for transactions. Had no issues whatsoever even when Bodog switched over to Bovada. Still have it today and still have no problems depositing funds. So I believe it's a hit or miss situation, with your location probably being the biggest reason why it's not working.

Keep your card...you can always try ACR or even Intertops...I say these two because I believe they have some of the quickest cashouts. Idk if either of these two have CC as a method of depositing but its worth a try..GL

Idk if it's just me but the last week or so have been so laggy...I mean I understand if you have a bad connection but I have a lightning fast connection and still have this issue. Somethings up on the software side, or players are just timing out and stalling.

I actually like the anonymous tables as well. I rarely ever take notes on a player (they are erased at the end of play anyways) and imo the notes are more for the cash tables...but I could be wrong.

The good far outweighs the bad with bovada. Super fast cashouts, awesome CS, super soft players (2+2'ers excluded ) and to me the Mtt's are so easy to play, cash, ship...etc. I really enjoy playing on this site and hope they can stick around for a while.

Ive been doing bovada wires for a while now, generally they would arrive in my bank account in one week, for some reason this last one ive done is now on one month and no sign of it coming soon its pissing me off, anyone else cash out with a wire recently??

I believe HH are available to you after 24hrs of said play. Have no idea about the ptr stats...believe it would be near impossible with the anonymous players...altho you could always check your account number but not sure if this would work, or even if it is allowed anyway. Hope this helped somewhat.

I've been regularly cashing out checks and the waiting period has gotten longer every month. I cashed out March 1 and it was approved within 24 hours but I am still waiting on a tracking number 3 weeks later.

It should be any day now for you. FWIW I have recieved checks without getting a tracking number. If you were to get a tracking number it would be under your messages on the BOVADA website...not ur email like I thought.

Also the delay could be because of the NCAA tournament going on..just a thought. You are on the 15th business day today. So you should be recieving it very soon. GL and keep us updated.

I am in the same boat.

Requested 3/1/12
Approved 3/2/12

No tracking #, No check yet.

However, to be fair... today is the 14th business day.

Additionally, there is a specific thread geared for Bovada cashouts for US players.

link to thread on bovada cashouts?
