Looking for answers from anyone who has some idea about this situation.

I am wanting to play on Bovada. I had my account moved over from bodog, it's a pretty old acct. It has a Vegas address on it that I still do get mail at. I live in New York now (Manhattan). Can I just deposit and play and send checks to said Vegas address and not have anything to worry about?

One side note, when I connect to my Verizon iPad 4G my IP literally never shows up as NY. Always NJ or CT. Small inconvenience obv but if it did the trick id try.

Again, the Vegas address on my acct is current and I do technically live there and receive my mail there, but don't plan on being there hardly at all over the next year.

You should be fine and long as you're ok to receive checks at Vegas address. MG or WU will likely never be an option for you.

No more after hour tourneys sucks. I wish they would hold on to the extra 20 8k and 55 10k at least =(.

Yeah, totally fine with getting the checks there. I would prefer them over WU or MG anyways. I was more concerned with being logged in from New York leading to an issue or something.

Yeah, you have to make $1000 worth of wagers to cashout any of the bonus. Best play is to go super high risk with the $10 then if you get really lucky and hit play off the rest of the bonus with cheap blackjack.

Weekly tournament. Runs Sat. evenings. Just a random draw to determine whether you get a ticket.
Edit: If it expires 12/18, then you're S.O.L.

Yeah, I believe when they give it to you that they set the ticket expiration date so you can only play in that week only

Tournament indicator is the only one program that works on bovada?

is it werid if I logged in thsi morning and randomly an extra $200 was on my account?

No. It's almost Christmas and could also be a number of other things you forgot about...futures bet that posted, cash game table cash out from days/weeks ago that posted, etc.

hmm well no complaints from me! lol

I am requesting a payout and was not approved. The reason given me is that I didn't meet rollover requirement for the Black Friday reload bonus I got. According to the customer service, I have to accumulate 3x points of the deposit+bonus. So it is like 18 for 1, which is ridiculous. Does anyone else have similar experience. Thanks.

Everyone has the same requirements for clearing the bonus. Your only option is to clear it and accept the money they gave you, or to not clear it and not be able to withdraw it, as you haven't earned it, according to the T&C of the bonus.

I don't see the problem here other than you don't like the terms. In which case, you didn't have to participate in the first place no?

my god there are so many fish on bovada, I dunno if people do it because its anonymous but the amount of people just literally throwing money away is insane

I think it's mostly due to it being anonymous but also, tons of bots. I ran up on Bovada for a while and played super well..then all of a sudden games got weird, wild calls with air only to strike it on the river, all types of weird ****.

Jeff Albertson,

That's called regression to the mean.

-3Bet

I'm just saying the play is erratic.

Which is exactly what you would expect from crappy humans with "lucky hands" and precisely what you wouldn't see in a bot.

There are lots of fish at 10nl on every site imo.

The problem is that it is not clear what the term is. I couldn't find it in their website. If you know, do you mind to share a link?

I contacted their customer service before, and was told there is no rollover requirement for poker and the points to dollar is 3 to 1. That is why I got surprised now and not happy about it. If they told me that term is 18 to 1 and no payout before clearing, I wouldn't do it in the first place.

p.s, I have way more money in my account before that deposit than what I am requesting now. I am not really requesting a payout of that reload bonus or the associated deposit.

Hear that guy who said he was stuck around the $600 mark since I've been stuck within a $250 radius for almost 3 weeks now but I play mtts and cash so the variance is to be expected.

Just tell them to remove the bonus from your balance, problem solved.

Sooooo much glass tapping going on this week, please refrain.

Some serious chip dumping/collusion 3 handed on one of my final tables right now. I will post the hole cards as soon as they become available.
Hand: 2882526088
5/10k
SB: 188k
BB: 492k
BTN(me): 153k

BTN folds. SB raises 20k. BB calls.
Flop A32r
SB checks. BB bets 10k. SB raises 20k. BB raises 30k. SB raises 50k. BB folds.

This has happened multiple times within the past half hour. Could not be more blatantly obvious. CBF posting the other hands but any competent collusion specialist will be able to clearly identify it.

There are plenty of non-collusion reasons why that hand may have played out that way. It proves nothing by itself.
