[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread - Page 1083 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Not sure if u guys call bovada at all. I have had many conversations with them. Try this. Ask 3 question, same questions, to 5 different people there. I guarantee you get all differen answers. Asks them where bovada head quarters are. U will get different answers. Ask them why they went anonymous. Pokerstars lists an address in Isle of Man. Boavada list anything? I am still lost as to why they need to verify some people's info and not others. I am still Lost as to what they verify? .They want me id, I told them my address and birthday don't match they say no problem we just need to know that you are you??! Huh?? Well my address is wrong my date of birth is wrong....how can I be me then??? Don't worry they said just send in the id. Now I am even more scared.

wow.

ive dealt with many incompetent CS reps from a few different sites whom all will tell you something different to the same question and then turn around and try and blame you (quite often) for any problems. party is very big on that.

the id verification thing- well im speechless.

Not is is recent. I was trying to deposit but when I dd they said thy needed my id. I wasn't sure if I wanted to play but when they asked for id I said for get it. This was back in December or January. I bet sports so I was looking to have another option for betting. And I would have played some poker I am sure. Now I just don't know what I am gonna do.

Yeah the site says that you have to verify to withdraw. I had to do the same thing on party years ago when I cashed out a 3k check . I don't know why bovada wants a copy of a credit card though. Id should b enough. This is why I wanted to know how reputable bovada is.

Thy crazy thing is I have made 3 deposits and 3 withdrawals on bodog/bovada and they never asked for anything. Now all if a sudden they want it? Their reason was due to the fact that I hadn't deposited on the last 6 months. Well as a winning player why would I be depositing every 6 months?

Doesn't every site ask for an ID to cash out? This isn't exactly new news here.

Is anyone else not able to log in? The site comes up and when I try to sign in it just hangs. I tried restarting and even reinstalled the software. I saw that there was an issue earlier, but I thought people were able to get back in

Yeah, every site I've ever played on has asked for ID (some wanted a utility bill too, which bovada doesn't ask for). I blacked out my Driver's License # and they still accepted it, so it's not a huge deal. And you've already given them your credit card info anyway, so they just need to match up what they have on file from your deposit with the verification form you send in.

I think it's time to give jungmit a break from this thread. We get it... You don't like Bovada. Move on with your life.

I sent Bovada a copy of my id front and back and a penciled copy of the credit card like they asked for about a year ago and haven't had any problems since.

It's funny that you miss the irony of jumping on people for popping up everywhere and going on and on about stuff.

I don't jump on anyone. Just wondering where they are.

No idea why you'd wonder about the whereabouts of two people that have never posted in this thread, likely because they don't have a lot of interest in Bovada.

If you want to talk with them, send them a PM.

You have NEVER been able to play 6-10 tables at the same time on Bodog/Bovada ever. Doesn't matter if it's a mix of sngs or mtts or cash or whatever. The max is 4 open tables at the same time. So I'm inclined to believe you are not telling the truth about anything.

Yes of course you can register for more than 4 mtts at the same time but if you are playing 4 mtts and the 5th one starts it will make you close one. It's happened to me before. I'm almost positive nothing has changed.
