I've mentioned this several months ago and it seemed like nobody gave a crap. They say the discrepancy is due to the exchange rate but you ALWAYS get over charged an never less. That's BS!!!

Yep it happens. At least I got really lucky last time and stacked someone with premo j2o, but still ridiculous to say the least.

Yeah they didn't really seem like the were going to investigate the issue. They kept repeating over and over that some banks charge a currency conversion fee and no matter how many times i would say that i'm certain that mine doesn't, they didn't seem convinced. It's obvious that's what's going on because Bovada said they charge every transaction in USD. Why would there be a currency conversion fee if they're charging our card in usd? It's because when you make a transaction internationally and don't choose the local currency, the merchant gets to set the exchange rate. That's why when you travel abroad you always pay in the local currency with your credit card.

Maybe Bovada owns the processors so they're making additional $$ this way, but they seem pretty adamant that they never collect more than the listed fee.

be careful using coinbase for gambling sites. I recently got an email from coinbase saying that my account was associated with gambling websites and if i continued to use it for that they would close my wallet. So now i just use blockchain wallet for this sort of thing.

Having bitcoin deposit option is awesome Hope to see BTC withraw option soon!

I still have the lag/pinwheel-o-death issue. Does this work for anyone using a MAC?

Can someone please explain clearly how to set your lobby to the casino tab? I dont see how to do this. Any help is appreciated

1. Click "Casino"

Lol

Bout 350

Holy effing crap. My god, this is amazing....how come Bovada didn't know this and respond to emails with this simple trick....

Really, you shouldn't have to do this. The casual Bovada player may have just given up. Look at Bovada's traffic on PokerScout. It's kind of divebombed the last month and a half since the software update. Some people just had enough.

so just to be clear, you pull up your 4 tables of mtts, then just click this tab and this solves the lag problem????

Thank you soooo much. Fixed lag instantly.

Yea this problem has been particularly bad for me lately. Anyone have any input other than "get a pc"?

hence the reason its been said in these forums, ad nauseum, to NEVER go directly from coinbase or circle to the gambling site...you go from coinbase or circle to blockchain to site

You register for the tournament(s) you wish to play in and after you have registered, you switch the lobby to the casino lobby. It seems the constant updating of the Sng, MTT lobbies cause the lag we have been experiencing. The switching to the casino lobby after you register for as many games as you wish eliminates this almost entirely.

yeah honestly its really sketchy. I was charged like almost 10% in fees my last deposit. oh well at least bitcoin deposit is now an option on bovada and fees prob wont be as bad. also ran really bad that they released the 20% promo after I made my deposit.

Can someone using a MAC confirm post 34088 worked for them?

Just did Circle - > block.io -> bovada and it went really well. Block.io is pretty slow (30 min to verify) but sending to bovada was instant, and best of all no deposit fee! Thanks Bovada for adding this option!

After being connected with the Finance team I almost hung up in similar frustration. The finance team was supposed to be very informed, but after the women lectured me on how I can't play bovada from NY, I had them close my account instead of continuing to argue as I didnt want to risk my bankroll. I had about 90k points when they pretty much forced me to close my NY account. What they will allow you to do, allowed me to do about a year ago, is give them a payee that can receive your payment from outside of NY. Originally they allowed me to do this and keep playing until the Finance team realized this was the case and didn't want to allow it. If you have a relative in a state with good withdrawal options and you want to close your account, see if this is an option. If you want to continue to play from NY perhaps wait on the bitcoins, otherwise I think you may be out of options

Anyone?

just a tip....IF you get charged any extra fees on a deposit that are not a standard international transaction fee(FYI, almost no banks charge you for this anymore....some prepaid cards still do), you just need to send Bovada proof and they will reimburse you.

an internatinal transaction fee is usually a flat rate...like $1 per transaction or something. so like you guys are saying, its almost certainly on the merchants end and Bovada should be responsible for covering it.

Yes

What happens if everyone folds in a Zone hand? Does the BB get the money or does Bodog pocket it?
