I mean american players.
I just signed up, bovada requires SSN to make the deposit.
This is the first time i come across a site which asks for this.
So this makes me think about paying tax or this is solely for verification purposes.
Any thoughts?

Why do you think them asking for your SSN would change tax situations in regards to gambling winnings?

Yea the question is not whether we as Bovada players have to pay taxes on winnings, the question is do you (we) pay taxes on your income.

good point.
I'm just a recreational player.

I'm just curious how you guys deal with it here.

It doesn't matter how you want to classify yourself. Bottom line is that gambling winnings are considered taxable income. Bovada asking for a SSN for deposits doesn't affect this at all.

Since when do they ask for SSN? And at what point in the process? Screenshot?

And, FWIW, you should always pay your taxes, gambling related and otherwise.

Someone posted something in this or the bodog thread a few months ago. For some people it asks for SSN when depositing via credit card.

Does anyone else have trouble getting audio on Bovada? Audio on my computer works fine for everything else. I already tried reinstalling. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I know that I had to install and then reboot before sound worked for me.

Hypothetically speaking I'd be more worried about Bovada selling my info then reporting me to the IRS but thats just my opinion, man

Just wondering but what is the max you can get from this 'Cash Persuit' weekly promo every week?

You're responsible for paying your own taxes. Pay them.

Any easy way to download all your hand histories, or do you have to click 400 buttons for each table you played at.

Download all? Then switch to another game (Cash/SNG/MTT), rinse + repeat

I just got my $25 bonus in my "bonus account"

Do we have to clear the bonus or something? Why is it listed separate from my account balance?

100% up to 1000. However, CC deposit was limited to 475 and I don't think they will count my second 475 deposit.

When cashing out by check, is a signature needed for courier, and if so, can you just leave a note saying to drop it off?
