Id like to warn everybody to avoid bovada.lv. They are sleezy criminals that dont like winning players.
I reside in Australia but I usually spend at least three months of the year in the USA because of my work.
A friend recommend Bovada to me because they had some great lines for live betting on a sport I follow.
The read the terms and conditions and there was no requirement that a new member should be a US citizen or
permanent resident. At the time I was residing in the USA so it seems there was nothing to stop me joining.
My first few deposits of a couple of thousand dollars lost and Bovada said nothing and took the money.
I redeposited and then ran up a $20,000 profit. Bovada shut my account and requested Docs. I provided them.
They then requested I call them and had there accounts manager rudely interrogated me as if he was the head of the FBI.
I asked him to show me which of the terms and conditions id broken. He stammered around and finally all he could
produce was using a VPN. Over 90% of my log ins were from a USA cell phone using the 4g network. There were a couple
of logins from my laptop were the VPN was running unfortunately. So based on this he confiscated my $20,000 profit and refunded
my deposit.
I was outraged and went to Karnawake gambling commission the administrator of the indian nation where this scam company is based.
They were rude unprofessional and totally one sided. They never even asked for my side of the story and just ruled in Bovadas favour.
Here is Bovadas scam.. If you are a sharp player that manages to beat their lines they will try to fault you on any detail and steal your profits.
If you lose they will just not bother to check you out and keep the money.
For example if they were fair about their using a VPN rule you could make a bet and if it loses then just log in with a VPN.
This should void the user agreement and force them to return your deposit.
Of course this would never happen which demonstrates the scam they are running.
They will only use the VPN clause to steal money from winning players.
Avoid Them.
Stay Away run for the hills. You have no rights once you give them your money.
They can just do what they please.
Mark.
