They just asked for my b-day and stuff, very standard for it being my first w/d.

Thanks for the info.

It was just I satty'd in to the 100k yesterday and thought if I ship this...
1. I probably wont see the money for a while
2. People might start asking questions and it could get weird

But luckily I got knocked out in the first hour and didn't have to worry about it

Hopefully I'll run into this problem in the future lol

BTC
Req about $2k 2/21
Approved 2/25

Received in wallet immediately.

Preach. I know the odds of anyone from Bovada reading this are low... but communication between players and customer service would be greatly improved if the regular support members were given a 10 minute briefing on bitcoin.

Or at least have one support member on the clock that can answer all the bitcoin related issues.

I can imagine there would be an increase in overall withdrawal requests.

With bitcoin I can now get one free withdrawal every 5 days instead of once a month. So it makes sense to withdraw more frequently and keep only the minimum amount needed on site.

Yeah, after Bovada sends the bitcoin to your wallet you send it to your card. It's converted to USD instantly and available to spend or withdraw as cash.

Hmm, maybe? Or just a glitch.

If you're using an email that you haven't given out to anyone, and your computer is secure then it seems more likely it would just be an error. Keep an eye out for anything else like the email requesting a new browser log in and stuff. If nothing else happens you're probably good.

Has anyone recently done a wire withdraw successfully? I placed a withdraw for $2300 and it was approved 6/25. But today it was returned to my account with a message to call player advocacy. I left them a message which they say they will return in 48 hours. Has this happened to anyone before? Any idea as to why they'd place the money back in my account after it was approved?

TO THOSE WITH THE BITPAY CARD

so my understanding is that you need to provide an address (your return bitcoin address) to receive an address to send to right? would you just use the address that is holding your BTC? any info appreciated! thanks!

if you google your name + poker and it returns results they won't wire to you if you are US player

Will I be able to withdraw using another method such as Bitcoin?

Yea, or you can open a corporate account they can wire to. Bitcoin prob ur best option tho

Thanks for the info everyone. FWIW I resubmitted my cashout from a new address yesterday morning. Was confirmed an hour ago and in my blockchain within 30 mins. Waiting on Circle now. Certainly seems way better than VFF.

Hmm, that might work but I don't know because I haven't tried it.

If you're using a Blockchain.info wallet just click "Receive" and use the new address it gives you.

It's unlikely they'll end up needing to send you a refund, but in general it's always better to receive bitcoin to a new address rather than to an old one.

no as in i have no issue going from bov to blockchain. but when i send to bitpay from blockchain to get a receiving address (from bitpay) dont i need to provide an address first? do you know what i mean? sorry if im confusing u lol

excuse my ignorance but how the **** do i generate a new bitcoin address in my wallet, i have 0 options to do so when i click recieve funds, about to punch a whole in my wall

appreciate this. the amount of bs I have gotten from Bovada customer service is mind-blowing. Now they're telling me the withdrawal was successful, even though I have nothing to show for it....

regardless of the amount i request, i only receive 3k in bitcoins every 4 days. has anyone been able to receive more in one withdrawal? i was able to in my first request but it still say max withdrawal is 9500 and request once every 5 days

reqyested max withdrawal via bitcoin tonight

Yeah, you are correct that you need to give them a return address first. That way if anything goes wrong and they have to return your bitcoin they know where to send it.

The reason they want you to give them a return address is so they don't have to send it back to the address that you used to send to them. For a couple reasons it's not good bitcoin practice to send bitcoin back to the same address it came from.

So if you click "Recieve" in your wallet you will get a new address. Give that address to Bitpay. If for some reason they need to refund your money that's where they will send it.


When you click Receive in your wallet it should give you an address that has never been used before. You can look the address up to verify.

It will continue to give you the same address every time you click on it until that address receives it's first transaction.

Is it not giving you an unused address? If it's not you can create a new section in your wallet by clicking "Add+" on the left side. Then when you click "Receive" in that section you will definitely get a new address.

Check request

Requested 6/2/16
Approved 6/4/16
Check in Hand 6/24/16

Played the game with tellers who can't rub two sticks together.

Gave up after a couple days and just deposited through mobile app. Funds available in account two days later.

I chose mobile over ATM so that I could maintain physical possession of actual check in case of issues.

So typical, if you can remove people from the process everything goes so much smoother.

Next withdrawal will be using BitCoin thanks to endthefed.

When I created my new (2nd) blockchain wallet I used a newly created email address per your instructions, and to my knowledge my pc is secure (I assume you mean free from viruses and the like). I didn't get any other fishy messages besides the one mentioned so hopefully it's a glitch (given the problems I had with my first wallet this seems plausible) however this happened two hours after I moved a decent amount of funds (appx 1k) through there for the first time so it was concerning.

I also contacted support and asked them about this but they responded as if I asked them something else (I was very clear). Their reading comprehension is pretty much non-existent. I'm starting to think their support consists of borderline illiterate 8 year olds in China or something.

the way i do it: when i want to send to bitpay they provide that qr code, and i just scan it with the blockchain android app on my phone, and that's pretty much it. i don't enter anything manually and it works great.

most likely the people telling u that are the normal people that answer the phone. some of them are beyond useless and totally uninformed when it comes to issues like this. best to speak to a supervisor.

also, the issue is really simple and u can explain this to them: all bitcoin transactions are public record and the address u provided bovada to send to can be searched on a site like blockchain.info. it will then show if any money has ever been sent to that address. it's not a mystery whether your money has or hasn't been sent. anyone in the world can search that address and see if money has been sent or not.

BTC requested: 6/25
BTC received: 6/27

fwiw i had to create a new address in block by creating a new 'folder' or whatever on the left pane. when i clicked receive it was giving me the same address with no option to generate a new address.

has anyone tested whether w/d from circle to debit card vs checking acct (that are both confirmed) is any different timeframe? both take same 1-4 days to process?

I requested a large BTC withdrawal on the 23rd. Still waiting for it to be processed...

Has anyone had an issue where Bovada mistakenly sent their BTC withdrawal to the wrong address?

My withdrawal was processed around 2 hours ago, however, nothing yet in my blockchain account.

Just spoke to the rep, and asked her if she can give me the first few and the last few digits/numbers of the BTC address where they sent it to, and the info she gave me did not match the address which I copied and pasted directly from blockchain into bovada's cashier.... FWIW, I emailed them the screen shot of the blockchain account showing the address in the blockchain wallet...

for the address I just copy the 'QRcode' and paste it in (long code of letters/numbers) as my address.... Is this fail ?

BTC Req: 6/27
BTC Rec: 6/28

Thank you EndTheFed
