Hello all! I'm in a pickle with Bovada. Been a long time customer, but reenctly made 4 deposits totaling $1,100. After accounting for their credit card fee, they still overcharged me $56! I contacted both Bovada, who says the charges must be bank fees, and my bank, who says they did not add any fees. After multiple requests from Bovada, I just disputed the overcharged amount of $56. They put me at a negative balance and suspended my account pending a discussion on the issue.
What should I do? I have about $1,150 in pending bets from previous deposits, but am tempted to just dispute the whole $1,100 in 4 charges and have that cancel out with my pending bets. Any advice is appreciated! Two of the four charges were the correct amount, so I don't know why they keep saying the charge was correct on their end, when clearly my credit card says otherwise.

I've deposited with crypto before. Only problem is it takes much longer (30-120 minutes) to get the cash in your account, and youre at the mercy of the exchange rate going in. Plus they chsrge some solid fees. I've also used credit card which has the benefit of being instantaneous (1 minute). I'll use crypto for bonuses or if I'm in no hurry. But if I choose to do Credit I expect to not be overcharged.
You'd suggest I eat the $56 loss and just stop using credit ?

Nah I wouldn’t eat the 56$, May wanna look at the possible international fees that the card charges, to understand the fees.
Haha crypto is the only way to go. Depending on which currency you use it can take longer. I use lite coin and usually from start to finish in my account within 5 min. Do you know how many checks from books I’ve had put on hold for 30+ days from the banks? Then the last check my bank refused to deposit it because of the international origin. That pushed me to learn crypto no issues the past 7 years When I withdraw using crypto it’s in my bank account within 2 hours or less

Oh I definitely withdraw using crypto. Best method for sure! I just prefer depositing with CC because it's easier and faster, and you pay a fee with both anyway. With CC I deposit in 3 clicks. With crypto, I usually have to switch between 3 websites for depositing, buying crypto, and transferring the crypto. Much longer process. Lol.
But am still wary of how to handle this $56 overcharge. I did call my bank (Chase) and they indicated no foreign fees were added.

Use to be hell to cash those checks back in the early 2000s. Bo dog and others. The bank looked at you like what the hell you got going on. Managed to get them all cashed with the long wait times.

If you dispute the charge, they will ban your account. I called them a few years ago upset about being charged to much. I threatened to dispute and was told 'I wouldn't do that".. I didn't end up doing it but still had my account blocked. If you have money on that site, you need to get it out before challenging them.

This is what I needed to hear a few days ago. Lol. Funny thing is I got charged $1,100 for my 4 deposits and only disputed $56. Can't wait to see how they respond when I go challenge the other $1,044 which is looking more and more likely at this point.
They've told three times they'd call in the next few days and they never have. So I'm gonna ultimatum on Minday I think and if they don't resolve it, dispute the $1,100. I will lose about $1,150 in my account so it's close to a wash. Let me know if you have any other suggestions!
