Live Dealer chips glitch! 11k gone!

For starters, ive been a bovada client for years now, deposits are easily over +100k. Every now and then ive had my issue happen on the site and bovada for the most part has always made it right. on 03/16/2021 i was playing live dealer games on mobile and was winning a good amount of hands, began playing with 1k chips and continued to win. I won large hand went to tip the dealer a 100 dollar chip on the mobile platform glitched and got stuck on a 1k chip. i immediately contacted the pitboss about the situation and he went ahead and opened a ticket for me and i did indeed get my 900 difference refunded to me at the end when they resolved my ticket. They actually ended up refunding me 1800 dollars instead of the 900 and i went ahead and called up the host line on the phone and spoke with josie to let him know that bovada had paid me an extra 900 dollars and to please take it out of my account because it was not my money. I actually stood on hold 25 minutes to give this company back there money because i am honest and believed them to be honest as well! What AN IDIOT I AM for that,

So the next day 3/17/2021 i am playing the roulette table on mobile while i am out and about in the city and im playing 1k hands. i started to loose a bit so i went ahead and dropped my bets down to 100 chips instead of 1k chips and the same glitch that happened to me the day before where the 1k chips get stuck happened. what happens is that the game lags and when you are clicking your bets the chips dont actually appear until the game starts. once the game starts the chips became 1k chips even though i had the 100 dollar chip showing. After it happened the first time i reached out to support right away, but i continued to play because i was chasing my numbers and didnt want it to come while i was sitting out. So i ended up playing the next 5 rolls like this while talking to support until finally the game kicked me out and me rejoin because obviously there was an issue going on. Those 5 hands came out to rouly 11k when it should have been 1100 or so worth of bets. Now unlike the day before when bovdad refunded me the 900 for the error happening, this time they told me that the game play looked fine and nothing had happened. They pretty much called me a liar and let me know that they would be keeping my funds! Now for anyone who feels that i might be a player who is upset that he lost money and is now crying or complaining, ill have you know this… in the last 7 days my money in on bets is 1.2 million dollars and ive played 100s of hands at 1k each and have lost them fair and square. That same day this happened i lost and won around 30k or so after and even the next day the same thing. So it truly bothers me that bovada will not honor 5 hands that there was an error on just because of the amount at risk was huge but still wants high roller players like myself to keep coming back?? They refunded it the day before when it happened with the 1k tip but yet the next day it happens they dont want to honor it. Out of the +100 or so hands that i played at 1k each this weekend and lost fair and square, the will not refund 5 HANDS THAT HAD AN ERROR i am posting this here because i got them to look into it further today, the customer service line is horrible, the lady changed her story so many times. I want this to get attention so bovada knows that they cant do this to their players! i will keep everyone up to date on the result, i will not let them keep my money! I only want what is owed to me fair and square. please give me any suggestions of any one i can reach out to so i can get this sorted out! thanks guys and please dont play live dealer mobile because i dont want anyone else experiencing what i am going through. If they treat a player like myself who spends all that money here this bad think of how they will treat you!

@hood46 I see the issue has been brought up with a supervisor and they’ve reached out to our live dealer team. We will have to wait for the investigation to conclude and should you have any questions after this, please reach out to us here

hi matty, i will upload screen shots i had from both days when i communicated with the pit boss. i will also upload a video of the roulette game glitching on mobile as proof it glitches.

hi matty, i dont appreciate you editing my post and changing it up so its not at the top of the list in casino section of the community. I want other players to see it so it does not happen to them. please be honest and fair here as i am not bashing or trashing talking bovada, just simply shining light on the situation at hand.

@hood46 The title was edited so other can view what is going on. Having it labelled at Bovada stiffing you out of money is not at all accurate and wouldn’t give any insight as to what is going on if someone scrolls through the topics. You can send that to us through the link I provided in the previous message but note that there is a difference between the live dealer having a technical issue as a whole site wide in which we would certainly refund and an isolated technical issue that only you encountered due to mobile issues with your device, browser and internet stability at the time.

having it labeled as bovada stiffing me out of 11k is very accurate, also please note that you guys should not offer a mobile platform if your not willing to reimburse players for the platforms mistakes. im sure you yourself have looked at my account and see how much money ive played recently and even lost. And out of all the money that i lost fair and square i only had an issue with 5 hand… how can this be overlooked and placed as the players fault? they reimbursed me the day before for the error but the next day they dont want to?

@hood46 I will send you a PM for more details

This is the first time it happend when the chips glitched from 100 to 1k when i tipped the dealer, even another player in the chats acknowledges that its happened to him before! Thankfully bovada made this right and corrected the error and refund my account.

The first image is after the glitched had happened while playing roulette i was kicked from the server, i came back in and continued to try and get the supports help with no response. i stopped playing at this time. the 2nd image is him telling me the amounts of my bet and me correcting him letting him know that i did not bet that. the last image is me letting him know that this same error happened the day prior.

Hey hood46, I know exactly what you are talking about. I’ve had many spins where I press Rebet and the chips don’t show up, so then I press it again and suddenly I’ve doubled my chips. I can’t speak about the chip denominations part as I haven’t experienced a glitch in that area.
But, the site does glitch out and not show the chips in play at times.
The tips refund is standard and they’ve always done that. All you have to do is bring it up to the pitboss and they gladly get you the refund.
As far as Live Dealers, remember that the Live Dealer is not Bovada specific. It is a 3rd party company that many online casinos use, Bovada just being one of them. I’ve seen a few others not related to Bovada using the same Live Dealer. So what essentially happens is if an error occurs, the Live Dealer will contact whatever platform you’re playing on and you get the refund that way. It’s not necessarily Bovada’s fault for not giving you a refund. It’s mainly up to the Live Dealer company to decide that and Bovada can reach out to them to see if a refund is justified.

hey kman, yeah i know the live dealer is 3rd party unfortunately. Obviously thats why i think they are going to say no issue happened because they dont want to have to pay out the 11k back and they leave to the player to eat the lost. This is not fair as i enjoy playing at bovada and have cashed out many time and have brought a lot of my followers to play here but this is the biggest issue ive had and i want it made right. im sure it would have been corrected if the 5 hands played were 10 dollars hands that had an error but since the 5 hands where about 11k this is where no one wants to step to the plate and help the loyal client out.

@hood46 There is a difference between returning a desired tip amount compared to hands played.

Any time someone claims to have mis-tipped either a partial amount or the full thing, we will make the correction and return the appropriate amount.

The same process is not done for anyone and everyone claiming there was a technical issue with the actual hands that were played. In these cases full reviews are done in order to come to a conclusion. Otherwise everyone would say they didn’t mean to bet x amount on losing hands but the winnings hands are fine. I’m not trying to say this is what is happening here but thats why we review it.

Additionally, the bet amount would have no affect. If there was an issue it would be refunded in full regardless of a $10 or $1000 bet.

here matty, here is the 5 hands in conversation R42729883 - R42729916 - R42729927 - R42729940 - R42729952

i believe it was around 11k in bets, which i want back my 9.9k because i was doing 100 dollar chips and they did loose so i would have lost 1100 dollars not 11k. I only want what is fair nothing more… the same way i returned your guys 1k that you sent to me in error is the same integrity id like in return for my 9.9k that was wagered in error of mobile platform. This issue will never happen again because i will never play mobile live dealer again. please make it right.

of course matty, i tottally understand what your saying by people would lie once they lost and say i didnt bet that amount it changed… But like i stated to you earlier, you see my account and how many 1k+ hands ive bet and lost this week. WAS THERE ANY COMPLAINTS? No… i lost those fair and sqaure, im only talking about 5 hands here… even after that issue i deposited more money and won more then the 11k that was taken from my account in error and lost it all and do you see me complaining about that ??? NOPE BECAUSE I BET IT, I PRESSED THE 1K BUTTON. so make these 5 hands right.

@hood46 Once a resolution comes in you should get a direct message to your bovada account messages. In the event its not the resolution you we’re looking for let us know and we’ll see what we can do further.

Matty i appreciate your assistance, the only thing i am looking for is my chips that were not wagered by myself back. its a simple task that i know could be done, I would truly like you to ackowledge the fact that i indeed place larges wagers all week long and lost them and didnt complain not once. I dont want people here to think i am a liar or sad because i lost 11k and now im trying to make up a story to get it back. I posted the screenshot of the conversation from both days showing the glitch happened twice. I also dont like the email i received when they did return my chips fop the tip glitch ,"Hi Vincent

We’re following up with you regarding your request to be refunded for the tip you gave to our Live Dealer by mistake.

We’ve credited your account with a total of $900.

Please keep in mind, this is an exception and moving forward, we ask that you be more careful when making these decisions. they ask that i be more careful how?? not use there site anymore because it glitches?? how are they trying to place the blame on me, the player for the platforms glitches on mobile… you obviously see other players have chimed in and acknowledged that these glitches happen.

Can anyone advise me on how to upload a video on here? its a screen record from my iphone that shows the table glitching.

@hood46 For the video you may have to attach it and email it to us at moderator@bovada.lv

thanks for sharing your experience with the glitches kman, keep an eye on my thread so you can see the outcome!
