Ive been playing at Bovada for about 5 years now. (Also other sites) and ive had hot streaks (up 11000 over 4 weeks) cold streaks, big wins (most recently 4200 in February 2024) and loses. For those 5 years i could practically count on one big win every 1 or 2 months, (ex. Put in 50, leave with 1500). Ever Since they added these all these new slots from WINGO I have quite literally watched my wins go. Ive lost 28 $1 spins in a row, ive gotten bonuses and free spins ‘winnings’ that dont even cover my initial bet. I rarely if ever get a dollar over my initial deposit when playing for any length of time, And if i play live dealer roulette, the ball will drop into a number, and about a half a second later jump out of that number, roll across half the wheel and land in a new number the physics of which are 100% impossible if theyre spinning the roulette wheel here on earth. If i play i poker every tournament im seated immediately to the left of the chip leader (and i mean EVERY TOURNAMENT!!!) if i can play a hand with out being stack bullied by someone with 20x my stack, im hit with every bad beat you would never see in real life, and ive played 10s of thousands of hands in casino tournaments and cash games over the past 25 years and not once have i ever seen a full house, beat by quads, beat by a straight flush in person. Let alone twice in 3 days. Every winning hand ALWAYS gets rivered by the farthest long shot, and every showdown that i have a pair to play, im Always beat by the next highest card. if i have 5’s they have 6’s. I got jacks, they got queens. Never anything higher. Kinda like how a computer would rig its win just enough to win, but not enough to draw attention.
Not that the egaming bureau of curacao aren’t fine upstanding individuals, i have no reason to suspect them of any dirty doings. I understand that each one of these examples is just a coincidence, but how many coincidences does it take to equal something way beyond an ‘unfair advantage’. Every casino in the world has an unfair advantage, (odds always in the houses favor) thats gambling but whats been happening the past few months have been mathematically impossible. I believe its time to kick this can down the road.
As previously stated, ive won thousands on here IN THE PAST so i know this wasnt some scam site set up on a whim to defraud players i know that. But what it has become… thats a whole different monster and i can no longer be complicit in down right robbery.
I hope your experience is better than mine has been.
One last bet… i bet the first 1 or 2 comments will be bots talking about how all they do is win all the time. Fyi Bovada, your bots are Garbage!!! People dont talk like that!!!
Your perspective as a long-time user is greatly appreciated, and it’s always valuable to hear different viewpoints. However, the situation can evolve and change over time, and it’s not always linear.
I hope you get back on a winning streak soon, and there are some new games being released that you might enjoy. Regarding users with differing opinions who are perceived as bots, they are simply people who experienced good luck with that particular game during that period.
Definitely had hot and cold streaks but, I hit big a few times man. Switchup gameplay I guess homie… one thing I definitely notice, if I’m on one game and winning for too long, the winnings definitely shrink like they’re capping at some point
He is correct what is going on I am down a 1000$ just this month cash not in and out bull crap. I am down 4500$ 6 months. I play alot I have withdrawn 1 time this month of 200$ off a 100$ deposit so a profit of 100$. Of course I put the 200$ back in the next day because I thinking that the slots will eventually give me some if my money back. You are supposed to win sometimes so you come back but bovada not letting that happen. I mean this is a Huge sample size sonits not like oh bad luck. I mean the hit above what 336$ after rollover it’s nothing it’s back to your deposit. I have not hit a 300$ hit in one spin I over year. I have turned alot of people on to bovada long time ago and about 12 years loyal here. My deposits are gone so quick al the time I had one good run but my good run was the little 200$ withdrawal which is horrible. You ask why keep playing because I amtrying to win some of my money back. I just don’t understand what is going on. It literally feels like robbery right now. I not saying it will always be like that but it has for awhile and it’s just is very upsetting that this company not letting me win anything and just keep losing. The amount I spend here at another site I realizing I actually doing better there now because you lose almost every deposit here. It don’t matter what game you play they are all turned to not pay much.
I don’t know if my experience would make a fair comparison to yours since I’ve only been playing at Bovada for 1yr. But I pretty much feel like a roller-coaster ride.
I started playing poker here. I love online texas holdem only because it’s the one poker game that makes it easy for anyone to play. I lost all my money all the time though and I became bored with it because I was losing my money and didn’t even get to chit-chat at the table with the other players. And then I discovered what’s gonna be the end of me… the slots.
With slots I started hot. OMG the hits I used to get I couldn’t believe it. I had so many big wins and had my account up so high (for me anyway). Then I’d get all excited and start betting higher and higher and with that, losing my winnings faster and faster. And I came back for more lol just to repeat the same cycle all over again. After a couple of months I noticed that my hot hits weren’t happening as often as when I first started playing the slots. I still had that memory of them big wins, so I just kept doing deposit after deposit and hitting that spin button like crazy waiting for those hits. Maybe around that time is when I found the community. I started seeing posts like this where people would say how they used to get big hits, then they stopped happening. So I figured my hot times were over and started trying to figure out some sort of pattern on the slots.
The only thing I’ve figured is not to play the same slot for extended periods of time. So now I jump from slot to slot. After I go up a bit, I leave and go to another slot before it takes my winnings back. This is the only way I’ve figured to be able to play longer in between deposits and bring my account up a decent amount. Still have the problem that when I have winnings I don’t withdraw. The higher my account goes, the higher I wanna bet. I normally play .40-1 bets. The moment I jump to 2-5 bets is the moment I lose all within minutes 
And there is absolutely nothing I can do about that. I’m convinced the slots are suggestive to the mind and basically put us in a hypnotic state that cause us to suddenly spin erratically our funds away. That for me is the thrill of playing the slots these days, the challenge to keep the slots from quickly taking all of my money.
So, I keep losing my money I just feel it’s not as fast as before. And now I have a few good days and then a few bad days.
I definitely stay away from the new slots. Those slots and I do not play well together. I try one every couple of weeks to test my luck with them, but so far haven’t found one that has made me returned to it for regular sessions.
I can tell in the first 5 min if they are going to take my money are give you a chance. I have a crapload of experience and yes you just started so of course there going to let you hit they what you to be like us long time suckers that have not hit anything close to when we first started. Like I Said I am down alot of money last 6 months with 1 are 2 small withdrawals. Trust me I see it all the time you will be gone in a year from running out of money are getting fed up. They love us the few that Stay who actually have money but now it’s just almost feels like a joke to them and feel like getting super taken advantage of. Again here 12 years so again I know what I talking about. Plus it does not matter what slot you play when the slots are off you will notice the value of the hits will be super small might throw you a tiny big hit once but straight to zero. I laugh when people say try different slots don’t you think after 12 years I done everything if your not hitting that session your not going to again maybe one little one.
I have been on Bovada for nearly 4 years now. The site has been fair up until about 2 months ago. The slots use to give some take some but at least it was almost fair that it was given. I did hit big bonuses over the years so I know it wasn’t just take take take site.
But over the last 2 months I don’t know what they did but it seems like it’s always take take and more take.
Just to prove this losing streak, I have my wife and two of my boys, who are also players over 4 years, we have been all pitching and taking turns of using one of our accounts. We call it bovada LLC group. Over the last 2 months no matter whose account we all pitched and played, whether mine, my wife’s or my boy’s accounts we haven’t won anything at all. Even the free spin bonuses don’t pay anything at all.
Shame on Bovada that they decided to be so greedy that we are at the point to give up using the site.
We do realize they the house always win at the end no matter but hey give your users a bit so we can have some fun as well.
I mean that’s last 4 months 4500$ can’t go back though. With is going on my session now are only lasting 5 min only getting to the 5% rollover. I mean there not letting you even have fun. I am basically deposit they take I have not even won forever so there not taking nothing back. This is supposed to be a fun outlet not a robbery. I been here forever so I know how stuff works. I feel like they catering to certain accounts as you see people hit multiple big hits off not big bets. So it’s either fake accounts are people are just really lucky the odds don’t match up at all. I mean out of my last 50 deposit I was only probably able to get in the profit of my deposit once. Oh man I got 0.13 cent maybe I go play ten time on 9 cents and hit 150000 lol. Like they post in there winnings.
