Hey guys. Just made my first btc cashout and am now waiting for processing. I had the payout sent directly to my CoinBase wallet by typing my wallet address in the Bovada withdrawal from. Has anyone else done this? Am I going to have issues? I am new to this so thanks to anyone who can help out.

Why is it asking me for "business ownership" info?

You will likely have your Coinbase account shut down. Always withdraw to Blockchain first then transfer to Coinbase.

If you don't mind me asking, I am wonder what games you play? I am trying to figure out how bovada prioritizes cashouts, because it seems clear that they don't payout in order that the cashout was received. Lately, I have been waiting 8 days per btc cashout. While I don't mind waiting 8 days for $9500, I am still interested in figuring out how they decide who gets paid out first.

So, do you play a lot in the casino, or are you a big sports bettor? I do know that huge casino degens and sports fish get priority cashouts, which I understand, and winning poker players are at the bottom of bovada's priority.

Let's say that I do a BTC deposit and I have 2 non-BTC payouts that I am waiting on (check and wire). These payouts have already been processed, but not yet sent out. Will they cancel these payouts and make me do a BTC payout instead? Or does that only apply to new payouts?

Not sure. Bitpay has livechat support on their website though that should be able to answer your questions.

Has anyone pulled out a big amount on BTC and on the transfer from Blockchain to Circle, Circle flagged it for the amount being too high, or flagged it for any reason? Kind of nervous about getting my money seized.

I cancelled the payout and made one to Blockchain. What is reason this would get my account closed?

Circle and coin base are essentially banks. They don't want to deal with offshore poker sites. Block chain is a different thing entirely and doesn't deal in the buying of Bitcoin.

I believe this is correct. I'm definitely "up" on the site and my withdrawals take a very long time.

I got that too. It basically mean they haven`t finished processing payment to be sent out. If we can cancel it, its not sent out to us.

hang in there man. you will get it. they seem to be paying them out in waves. but i would still email them at least once a week asking for any updates. i finally got mine last week.

Can anyone help answer why 2 btc deposits have not gone through? I've sent them both from different personal wallets. Do I have to stay on the deposit page until it clears? I can see the transactions on the blockchain and one of them is confirmed at this point. Bovada customer service says its a failed deposit so I tried again and still no dice.

Glad to hear people from march are starting to get their withdrawals. I assuming you got it in your bank account? Still waiting from 3/21

Definitely not sports betting any amount they would consider significant. Outside of the occasional 5 or 10$ bets, I'm mostly nonexistent.

As far as casino, not really. I have, on two occasions, lost about 2k a piece each time when I was in superragemode tilt. This is over the course of 3 years of having an account. I will play randomly 5$ hands of blackjack or other games sometimes when I'm bored too. I did hit a jackpot on a 5$ bet, like 5k so nothing too big, while messing around the other day in between grinding.

Maybe that was enough to give me priority? I'm a pretty big winner lifetime in poker obv, but that doesn't seem to pull any weight on BV obviously. I'm also not a member of red room or anything cool like that

Never heard of circle/cb seizing any payments. I got flagged once and had to send my remaining funds to a different wallet, but it was never seized.

As far as I know all the March VFFs are just getting refunded to people's Bovada accounts.

Update on 3/20 processed VFF.

I emailed today rather livid because this amount of time is getting a little insane. They responded and said to call them. I did. They said my $3k was part of some delays...blah blah blah...and that had been returned to Bovada. They said they immediately "reprocessed" it to my associated bank account and that they expected to to be there in the next few business days.
I was rather surprised by this considering I've only heard of people in the same situation getting it back into their poker accounts and initiating new withdrawals. I actually set up btc in preparation for this.
This was also extremely terrifying knowing they just threw my funds back into what I only know as an abyss where my money goes for long vacations.
I asked them if it could take another few months and they said they hoped not. Let us pray. ��

Can someone help me Im super confused right now.

I usually do vff, this is my first non-vff withdrawal from bovada. I get to the place and they ask me what I do and why the check is from Singapore. I tell them I do web design essentially and they tell me my story and the check raises red flags. They make me wait awhile and then put me on the phone with a rude loss prevention lady who told me the check is fake 100% and im being scammed etc etc. I am like look just please put it on hold Im certain its good and it will clear. She basically calls me an idiot and says she will put it on a 14 day hold but when it does not clear I owe a $15 fee, whatever. I deposited it and hopefully it clears, but has anyone else had such a big hassle with checks? I will say the checks are pretty odd, says its from singapore but also to newyork so Im hoping everything works out.

LOL, the irony is it's likely those people at your bank that are the uninformed "idiots", the check should be fine. I had these same fiasco happen once with a check from Fanduel, it was written on a trust bank in New York, all-american as apple pie yet I kept being told "it's a scam going around" by check cashing places. At least you got them to deposit it anyway, in spite of their rhetoric and usually I think with those type checks, they can be deposited by atm or mobile. Best to do so next time if possible to avoid any potential hassle or use BTC.

BTC withdrawal $2280

Requested 5/18 12pm
Approved and Received 5/23 8pm

This is after I waited 7 weeks for VFF issue ($3k vff was requested 3/12 and approved 3/18 then finally refunded back to my bovada on 5/11) then I requested a BTC withdrawal on 5/11 which never went through after 7 days and bovada asked me to cancel it on 5/18 (after I called several times) and request it again because it "failed twice due to technical reasons," whatever that means. I called twice today and emailed them and told them how I have been waiting 73 days in total since my original withdrawal request. I also posted on their facebook wall with my withdrawal reference number and how I have been waiting 73 days.
