is bovada blocking deposits from xxx bank now? ive always been able to deposit until sunday. Tried my girls card and even my grandma's lol. Dont worry she supports my degen lifestyle. I guess my next option is a prepaid card, just curious if anyone else is experiencing these problems? thanks!

Not sure if they are but Sometimes deposits won't go through on the first try but will on the 2nd or third. And don't post bank names please.

This. I highly doubt someone takes the time to fake that.

+1 on the clarification of the promo.

I thought the card promo was going to be a bonus but it's another bs drawing with some mythical winner.

ProTip: to qualify for the card promo you have to subscribe to there promo emails.

Do you use the Ace converter?

There was a thread a few months ago where a guy posted a bunch of fake hands claiming he was super used.

"Gray-market sites, such as Bovada, will also be subject to this patent. However, whether Bovada, which currently offers Zone Poker as their fast-fold poker variant, complies or not is debatable considering they already violate US laws, specifically the UIEGA, and continue to offer unregulated real-money poker to US residents."

You have nothing to fear from the U.S.A. or its Department Of Injustice regarding Bovada. In major market cities Bovada runs radio commercials during the prime-time p.m. drive time. They know they have nothing to worry about from the D.O.J. (errr..D.O.I). Putting out commercials is pretty 'spotlighty' don't you think? So relax, go play some online poker, and give a big middle finger up to Uncle Scam.

You don't even have to list the amount won (in case you don't want to be looked up in the 'list of winners'), just let all of us know if you win anything in the "What's Your Card?" promo. Obv, any new posters saying they won $$ will not be taken too seriously.

Someone won the $500 Xmas prize I think. Or he may have just been joking, I vaguely remember him saying he was joking a few weeks after.

Been a while since I looked over patent stuff maybe one of the attys around here can pipe in, but if I remember correctly...the US can't directly go after them, but if Bovada operates in a country with a treaty with the US where they enforce each others patents, then that country could get them. But given how Bovada flies in the face of the DOJ as already mentioned, I doubt anything changes.

Or they just shut down zone since it has such a small pool anyway. Probably the former.

I haven't read up on the patent issue, but it seems like everyone is interpreting this very broadly. It could very well be that the patent granted is for the narrower specifics of Stars implementation and that other implementations (Zone) are not infringinging (ie. Soft Drinks taste like each other but their unique formula is protected).

If Bovada lost Zone there'd be 3 guys here whining about it and that's about it.
