    My wife made an account so she could bet on sports alongside me. Bovada apparently doesn't like that disabled my account and stole all the funds within it. They won't give me back the funds I deposited or anything. Just giving you all a heads up what kind of disgusting people these people are... Don't take Bovada

    Now tell us about the 200% match deposit for "referring a friend" you were trying to get.  Read the Terms & Conditions.

    Y'all took that back. Cool I didn't know husband couldn't refer wife as a bonus... . But now y'all not only close the wife's account but took all the money 2k, and the 500 she deposited. That's stealing. You all have stolen our money.

     No one should feel they have zero protection on the funds they deposited. You guys think you're God's and just take money from people. If you had any morals in fair gaming you would return the deposited funds at least!

    I know you hate hearing this but it’s not a scam. You agreed to the terms and conditions. Now you have to meet within rollover perimeters. This has been used for years across all books. Don’t accept match bonuses, or anything that you think might be a nice offer by a book

    No team is as good as it looks when winning nor are they as bad as they look when losing

    @OlDirtyBaztid

     The problem is, that she deposited $500 put in my referral code as a new member, she didn't get the bonus I did and they took that back which is fine. I didn't know. But she racked up to around $2,000 on her account they closed it took all the money and the money that she deposited. That is stealing. End of conversation. If it was something not allowed they should close the account and give the money back. You could go to any casino in the world and they wouldn't do that to you.

    Yeah seems like fine take the referral away see ToC's even close the account whatever but if you got legit your own money in there gotta give that back and cooler heads prevail .... dude call em up go get yer money back I'm sure they've heard the wife referral thing a zillion times, that's something I would do too would never occur to me they'd go nuclear over it prob happens all the time ..  gotta get someone on the phone, and if account is closed and gone then gotta be a process for how they handle those funds, can't just be stealin from people .. You steal enuff people's money and one day one of em might show up to get paid back one way or another .. degen gamblers are def not the crowd I'd want chasing me down thinkin I stole something from them lol ... good luck dude ..

    Cool it with the "y'all" business.  I don't work for Bovada and have zero affiliation to it.  I was simply pointing out an important detail that you omitted in your original post.  You tried to put one over on them and didn't like that you got caught, probably based on your IP address or using the same bank account.
