Have you heard of Bodog? Well, in case you haven’t, it is one of the largest brands in the online gambling industry, and Bovada Casino is one of the venues they own. It was first introduced in 2011, but it only took a few years for these guys to build quite a reputation for themselves.
This is one of the most popular casinos in the US, and it offers live casino action, table games, video slots, and so many other games, including a very comprehensive sports betting section.
The first thing that needs to be pointed out is that there is no license to be found anywhere on the site, and Bodog has fought a long hard battle to keep Bovada present on the US market. They have persisted, but we can’t really recommend any casinos that operate without a license, no matter how popular they are among punters.
The site itself has a wonderful design and an excellent layout, so it doesn’t really matter what type of device you use to access it. It works equally well on both desktop and mobile machines, and switch back and forth between them is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Their customer support is basically the textbook example of how it should be done, and once you take a look at their promo offers your jaw will surely drop all the way down to the floor. Have we mentioned that they also offer comp points and a massively good VIP scheme?
Come on down, let’s take a closer look at what these guys really pack under their shiny hood, shall we?
Bonuses and Promotions
Let’s start off with the hefty welcome bonus for all new customers! It consists of THREE match deposit bonuses for your first three deposits. It’s worth pointing out that besides these, there are also separate match deposit bonuses for all poker players and those who want to place bets on the sports betting section of the site.
Players who prefer using Bitcoin to gamble online will be delighted to find out that there are additional welcome bonus offers for both casino and sports players! As a matter of fact, there are three match deposit bonuses for casino punters who prefer using Bitcoin to place deposits.
Have a friend who is also into gambling online? Make sure you bring him about, and you will get a match deposit bonus and even some free cash as a part of their refer-a-friend program.
On top of all this, they offer you a chance to collect some Rewards Points with each and every wager you place. Later on, these can be exchanged for cash bonuses!
The loyalty program is tiered and it comes with six different levels. These include Starter, Rookie, Pro, All-Star, Legend, and Hall Of Fame.
You can also try your luck at tournaments!

Once you sign up for an account at the Bovada casino, the very first thing you’ll want to do is place some deposits and start playing games.
You can use the usual Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and UnionPay credit or debit cards to fill up your account, and even some Visa and Mastercard gift cards can be used, just make sure that they are good for international and online purchases.
Of course, the voucher codes are also fully valid, and it’s worth pointing out that the venue is one of the select few that accepts Zelle.
As mentioned above, Bovada is a totally modern venue, so it will also accept Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash as banking options.
Credit card users need to deposit at least $20, while others can start playing with as little as $10. Maximum deposit with a credit card is limited to $1500, vouchers can place up to $3000, while Bitcoin users are allowed to place $5000 per transaction.
Before you make any deposits you will be asked to provide a scan of a government-issued photo ID, a utility bill as a proof of address, the front and back scan of a particular credit or debit card you will be using, and you also need to fill out the credit card verification form.
Things get even worse when you score some cash and you want to make a withdrawal, as the only options here include Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Check by Courier.
In case of cryptocurrencies and vouchers, minimum withdrawal is only $10, but if you choose to collect your cash by using Check by Courier, the minimum amount is $100. All transactions are limited to $3000, but if you use cryptocurrencies, all winnings can be paid out in increments of $9500.
Also, keep in mind that you can only make withdrawals once in three (for cryptocurrencies) or seven (for Checks by Courier) days.
This aspect of the casino needs some serious improvements.
Support
Customer support can make or break an online casino, and these guys seem to know it all too well. On their site you will find the help center, where they will offer so many different options, we can’t help but think that this should definitely be the new industry standard when handling customers and their issues is concerned.
First off, you should always have a comprehensive FAQ section on your site, but Bovada has taken it all to a whole new level.
The first thing you see is a search box where you can type in a query and search the whole help center. If this concept comes off as a bit too abstract, you can check the different categories and search for information over there. These include Sports, Casino, Live Dealer, Poker, Horses, Financial, Bonuses, Account and Security, and Bitcoin.
They also have their own Bovada Community, which is another great source of information, shared by other players just like you. Last but not least they have a short list of top questions, in case you’re in a hurry.
Now, moving onto the traditional means of communication, you can write a good old email and address your inquiry to service@bovada.lv. In most cases you will surely be impatient to wait for an email reply so you’d surely want to type away all your issues by using the highly convenient live chat platform.
Last but not least, you can even reach them by phone! Just pick up your iPhone and dial 1 888 263 0000 and you will talk to a real live customer agent and get all your problems resolved in a matter of mere seconds.
Now, that’s how you run the show.
Conclusion
As you can see, Bovada is a lovely place that offers quite a lot of different ways of fun gaming experiences. But, it’s main issue is that it operates without a visible license, and we can’t really approve of that. Also, many players won’t like the rules and restrictions when deposits and withdrawals are concerned.
Sure, there is room for improvement here, but once again, take a look at the plethora of games on offer, the magnificent selection of promo offers and bonuses, all rounded out nicely by the Reward Points and the tiered loyalty program. They sure are pretty persuasive!
