This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I had occasionally put a small deposit on the what is now Boavada poker site which used to be Bodog. It changed just recently. I began to start having my doubts as to weather or not the site was somehow corrupt or fixed considering the abnormal things that would occur during play. When i say abnormal i guess you just need to be a player and experience what i had while playing on the site. It seems like hands were fixed and various other things. Unfortunately i can not show any physical proof as to what i am saying but making a complaint just makes me feel better. On new years day I put 30 dollars on the site and began playing. I did ok in the beginning and thought ok maybe this isn't so bad. However a couple days later once i had built the funds up it was literally like they flipped a lose switch on my playing. For two days straight they literally drained my money out. I am a pretty solid player to and i came to the definite conclusion that the site is absolutely fixed. The things that happened to me over the last two days have been nothing less than completely bogus. I don't care if anyone believes me but I am gonna make the complaint anyway as at least a warning to anyone who dares put their money on the Bovada site. They are very slick to with the way they arrange it all so beware of underlying deception. Also to top it off their payout process and methods are totally ridiculous and it takes weeks before you even get a check and you are lucky if it will even cash at a bank. Also you can only make one free cashout per calender month otherwise its a fifty dollar charge to get your money which like i said doesn't even arrive until weeks later.

Today alone on Bovada I had pocket Ks 3Xs. All beat on the river. Once by pocket 8s, once by pocket 6s, once by off suit AJ. Constantly river ratted on this site. Bad beat after bad beat after bad beat. It’s nuts.

I have been playing on this site for over a Decade and my mind is always waiting for the bad beat especially when I have the other Player Dead to Rights. Bovada Poker uses a specific Poker code that knows what you are playing and know what you'll Play. In the past 10 Years, I have had more bad beats than normal action. It's insanity but I continue coming back but today was the last straw! Holding 78OS, FLOP 910J, Runout,Q,K. Oppnent has AJ. This is not the worst I've had but it's a History if this BS. Going to Start A BLOG of how BOVADA Defrauds players.

My account is at a zero balance yet my last wager was a win. They claim there has been no withdrawals from the account since that win. How is this possible? I have emailed multiple times with no real answers.

I had 6K in my account. I was playing a tournament and got booted, then my account was disabled. They waited a week to tell me I had an issue with my account.

This place is a scam, simple as that. They should not be allowed to be in business. The Crypto platforms should ban them.

I play roulette on the website and each and every time the game glitches or goes blank as I'm betting it won't give me my money back it takes it along with any obscurities that go on while playing the game there has also been time where the would knock me off the game

Signed up to Bovada last night 3/31/2023 , was offered a $1000 bonus. I accepted bonus. If I now want to make a withdrawal I have to bet approximately $49,000 total in casino bets to be able to do so. That's extortion!

Despite having 66.6% of winning in the Bovada's numbers game! I lost 75% of the time. I lost 8 in row! 6 in a row and 5 on a row! The chances of losing that many in a row was .079%! Yet, Bovada tries to defend their cheating!

I have been locked out of my account that has thousands in it. This has been for almost four months. They will not t say why? They won’t answer my emails and say they can’t get ahold on me on my phone. All lies. What recourse do I have?

Avoid this platform like the plague. You are playing against the house in poker, they put 1-3 bots on the tables to clean you out. Insane suckouts again and again. The casino table games are pure clown action. You will lose 10-15+ hands in a row.

I stopped Betting on BOVADA since they showed me how cold their heart could be when scamming customers.

How in the world would you suspend my account immediately i requested for my winning?

I took me 3 month of excessive emails to BOVADA to release my account but they never respond to any.

I am glad i knew about this website a long time before now. It was on this website i saw the post that helped me recover my money from BOVADA.

When i thought BOVADA has succeeded in scamming me because it has been over 3 months and no solution, Then i saw a post on this website on the 5th of September 2022 about Paige McCubbin and that she is good at recovering funds that victims lost to scammers or bad companies.

I sent her a message on Telegram about my experience with BOVADA. She was able to help me recover my money from Bovada in less than 4 days.

I was sent an ACH deposit of $40k to my Wellsfargo bank account the 4th day.

I know there are a lot of victims online, you guys should contact her on Telegram with the name; paigecubbin.

But if anyone else found a better solution or otherwise, he/she should post about it so that others can see multiple ways to solve their problems.

I will share a screenshot of my balance for proof purpose.

[censored] Bovada Poker. When you fold a hand. The next card up every single time is a card that works for you giving you false hope. I expect to lose on the turn and the river most times. Yes, I have won. However, I have lost more.

Same with me / sit and go double up $10, got crazy and caught some hands, down to final 4 where it usually happens - chip counts we me 5200, low stack was 800 and other two were somewhere around 1200, folded everything should be easy to get the W, until pocket A, K, Q showed up - no raise from me but either got raised by players who didn’t do that before or got a flopped board of 2, 5, 7 - then players with low stack bet or go all in - I call - they have j /7 and catch trips or two pair, I don’t call, stack dwindles and each time low Stack is in bad position other players call, call all in with cards like K/3 and inevitably transfer money around to keep getting closer to my chip count

There is nothing legitimate about Bovada Poker. When you fold your hand. The next card up a card that works for your hand. Losing on the turn or river is an expected result when you play here.

I’ve cashed out $3, 000 a couple of times without a problem playing 3 card of all things. Money came by check but this was all a couple years ago. I played in a tournament last night and did make it in the money but strange things were happening. All of the other players at my table were playing basically every hand. I got AK, QQ, and JJ on consecutive hands. Pre flop everyone basically folded before I raised preflop. Throughout the night ever time I had AQ everyone at the table folded before my raise. It’s like they had some inside players watching my hands. Maybe this is just in my mind but it seemed to happen way too many times. something funny was going on.

100% SCAM same with ACR and BetOnline THEY ARE BOTS. Making calls no one in their right mind would make knowing the outcome. more than 10 different tournaments in 2 days on the bubble my donkey opponent hit a less than 2% chance river card when i have the nuts, pretty sure it worked in my favor once when we were heads up was all in preflop w 77 my opponent had AA he flops a set and it was turn 7 and river 7 his AAA gets cracked

NOT JUST IMPROBABLE BUT IMPOSSIBLE for that to happen so many times in the 36 hours i have played. times play gets rewarded constantly and beyond reason we play poker based on odds and an edge over other players and that is impossible

DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT JAMMING ACES ON THIS SITE YOUR OPPONENT WITH 92o will call and river the nuts

Yep happens to me all the time - low stack final 4, top three pay double up, kept getting raised or all in on BB, out of piston dealt KK with 5 BB left - jammed, got called - had Q/10 OS as the big stack - flop comes QQJ-5-2

I do have a lot of videos. In blackjack they deal more 5, 6, 7, 8 than statistically possible. Although professionally looking, please know you will never win money over any long term player Blackjack. Betting on sports tends to follow Vegas though so that is respectable.

Totally agree, site/games are fixed. The winners are determined before any cards are dealt (I call them the CHOSEN ONE). The Chosen One can go all in with Q/9 off against AA and because they are the Chosen One will ultimately win the hand. The "RANDOM?" card generator is not random what-so-ever. And if you try to play tight will flop you 2 pair say QQ/JJ only to give the chosen one a set of 2's on the river. Hell I don't even know if your playing against another person or a bot b/c there is not chatting on this site. And don't get me started on how rigged the blackjack is...I'm done with these b.s. site

Listen people bovada/ignition poker is a joke and nothing more. I haved cashed out at least $7.000 from this site both visa fast funds and check. As far as payouts go their a in my book but as far as having a fair game hardly ever. Have you ever noticed in a mtt how in the heck can someone go all in with the worst hand get called by 5 people with way better hands and draws just to see the guy who had the worst hand hit runner runner and because he has the biggest stack it wipes out the other 5 people out the tourney. And this happens over and over and over and literally every tourney no matter what table. How can you play in a $75 $7 buy in mtt tourney and be deep in the tourney and a guy i the 4th position goes all in for 35, 000 in chips knowing he is was above the average stack with a 3 5 off suit just to have two people to call him one with AA and the other with kk just to flop a straight on the flop. Now get the heck out of here your telling me this game is random bullcrap. No right person would do that period. Or have you ever seen the cards come out real fast when your down to the last of your money and they rub it in your face super quick just to take you out. Or watch the card pause literally on the river to give the other person what he needs. 1 percenters hit like their a 100 percent. It's a joke and nothing more.If your a winning player then you should win more not lose more. Anyone with more than 500 brain cells going in the same direction can tell that this site isnt right nor random.Or how about right before your about to place in the tourney they throw you aa knowing your short stacked to others just for you to shove and they call and crack your AA and your out and everyone places. And what else this site does is they will literally heck you over so bad that you'll go on tilt just being pissed at these thieves and then when you decide to go all in with whatever afetr you have been playing correct the whole time just to get robbed over and over then you shove all in being pissed they instantly have aces and the site makes you feel like the idiot because your playing like crap and of course you lost you went up against aces knowing that when you were playing correct you get cracked everytime. The site plays this little mind game till all funds are gone. Or have you ever been playing heads up and the opponet raises literally every hand with either something or nothing but as soon as you get aa he folds instantly and when i say he/she/superuser/bot. Now this mother effer hadn't folded the whole time but when i get a good hand he folds instantly. The sites a joke people. Rigged rigged rigged is exactly what im saying. The fairest thing on the site is when your starting out are the mtt tourneys but once it starts to get late in the tourney the rigging starts and the big stacks get favored. Anyone who reads this knows im telling the truth. Its not even a effing debate.
