I actually have enjoyed the break from Bovada and this thread has been useful for me. Fun banter.

Woke up to an āupdateā from Bovadaā¦ which was really just that they still donāt have any info. Do you think the people that work for this site realize how shitty itās being run, or is this site most of these peopleās first job and/or only option for employment so they canāt speak out against the company and risk getting fired? The last part of this message was the funniest. My ārelationshipā with bovada went from main chick to an out of town side piece early last year when they clearly changed the player rewards system without informing anyone. And I told them as much via email. I will tell you this now @Paul_Bovada your management team has cooked its relationship with every customer you have over the last 2 weeks. Thereās no other way around it. The non-existent communication during these issues is something I warned about in multiple emails to the moderators and CS mailboxes earlier this year. If you guys could read some of those emails you would think I was the mf Oracle. I sent these people email after email with recommendations of how to make this site run better because I like playing here. I also stressed every time that they simply do not listen to the customers, which is obviously still true. Everything thatās happened was avoidable. You just have to wonder if the people that run the site behind the scenes are even smart enough to realize how bad they are at running this site since we cannot reach them.

I think people should stop using their service until they actually do something, I know damn well Iām not relying on that free handout because god knows when weāre gonna get it, if they canāt even give us an estimated time within 2 weeks who knows when they will actually compensate us. Seeing as nobody is reporting issues with the site anymore, it looks like bovada is waiting to provide compensation at their own discretion and will probably wait until itās most convenient for them to give us compensation, probably sometime after nhl and nba playoffs are over with so that people will have basically no sports to wager on and will be forced to lose it in the casino instead.

They will ride that stability banner for as long as they can to avoid any kind of compensation if they even plan on issuing any

Iām sure they have this shit calculated out to a T, every sports book has their own statisticians and they are probably trying to mitigate the risk of people going up big on these compensations so they can walk away basically unscathed from having to compensate all their customers.
Yeah but at this point they also know theyāre about to dish out minimum $500-1K to long time players/ HOF / big spenders like myself so it is certainly a lot of money. That saidā¦ they also know if they wait another 2 wks theyāll drive some ppl off the site and will go elsewhere. So it is just a matter of time if they drag their feet

Even all their sister sites. I canāt reach any live agents on any of them. Man I wish I lived in a state that allowed draft kings. You never hear of this stuff on that website

Thatās because itās regulated. These people only have to answer to themselves.
Ultimately gambling is either an addiction for people or a habit for people
Bovada is banking on you being an addict. An addict cant control themselves and will continue to give the site their money even though they know its not smart
If its only a habit for you then you can restrain from doing it or do it elsewhere
Every dollar Bovada gets while all this is ubresolved is a dollar they dobt have to spend on customer retention . If youre depositing here right now all youre doing is being complicit in all this shit

Bovada is a well calculated multi national corporation. If they were to suddenly disappear with our money and take it all, what would we do? Iāll tell you what we could do. Most likely absolutely nothing. Nobody knows what exact country they are based in and any American trying to sue the company would have little to no chance of finding an actual entity to sue. They run at their own discretion and unfortunately nobody can control them because theyāre so god damn mysterious.
Honestly this whole fiasco has really helped control my gambling addiction by not depositing these last few days

I am right there with you. Weekly spend is through the roof unfortunately riddled with losses. They wonāt even give me any free play or any points etc. itās getting ridiculous.

If the overall feeling of this thread turned to ālooking for an alternativeā, it would go a long way in getting answers from Bovada. Because right now, the sentiment in this thread is ācan I please have more money to lose on your site?ā That gives Bovada no pause for concern.
Yep. It is rare now that Iām somehow not hosted but I do still every once in awhile and Iāll give them credit the point drops I usually get once every 7 to 10 days again . Was more like 20 days for awhile
