How To Deposit And Withdraw From Bovada Quickly And Easily

Bovada, the US friendly site formerly branded as Bodog, have risen to become the biggest US sportsbook and casino site. They have a long standing reputation for great service and fast payments as well as a huge selection of games and different types of gambling. Part of this is that they have a great product, I particularly like their focus on recreational players – which keeps the games soft. Another part of their success comes from the fact that depositing and withdrawing are faster and easier than at any other site.

I’ll go through the different deposit options at Bovada Casino below. Starting with Credit Cards, which are working really well at the moment – then going through money transfer options which are very reliable, but do have a price. After that I’ll cover withdrawals, so you know in advance how you can receive those all-important winnings. Finally I’ll sum up with the key benefits you’ll get from playing at this site, including the bonuses.

Bovada Sports

Remember, whatever your deposit methods, you'll get the guaranteed best bonuses via these links:

Sports Fans: Start of with some positive vig with a 50% free bet, up to $250 value - biggest bonus via this link (new tab)

Casino Players: A massive 100% mached welcome bonus up to $3000 is waiting for you - use this guaranteed best bonus link (new tab)

Poker Fans: You'll find the biggest choice for US players (and very fishy games!) with a clever tiered welcome bonus scheme. See www.bovada.lvfor details (new tab)

Bovada Casino Deposit Options – Credit Cards (Visa or MasterCard)

This should the first option you try at Bovada. While there are still some cards being blocked, there are many more MasterCard and Visa cards which will allow you to deposit first time with no problems at all. If your main card gets refused, then try out that backup card – it might just be the one. Expect Bovada to charge around 5% to cover their processing fees (they need to use middlemen to make this happen), first time credit card deposits are free of charge.

Sometimes you will find that your bank has blocked all international transctions on your card which results in not being able to deposit. This can be checked with a quick phonecall, no need to mention that your intention is to make a deposit onto a gambling site!

Pre-Paid Visa: One more alternative is a pre-paid Visa card, these can be bought at convenience stores or gas stations. You'll need to speak with the (excellent) Bovada cashier support staff first to find out which brands are currently working, the brands to go for are the ones with international support. These have an excellent first-time success rate, though are not suitable for withdrawals.

MyPayLinq: This 'Virtual MasterCard' option has now been withdrawn,

Bovada Deposit Options – Money Transfer Via Western Union

There are 1000’s of Western Union branches all over the country, and this method is a sure way to get your Bovada account funded using their money wiring service. There is a downside though, the fees which can be between 6% and 15% of the total, depending on the amount you want to transfer. The fee gets proportionally smaller as the amount you send grows. Note that Bovada now refund fees on deposits over $300 using this method.

If you want to deposit using money transfer, you should create your account and then contact the excellent support staff to ask about your deposit. They will give you the code and name you need to transfer too – and the money should be reconciled and with you very quickly after you mail support with your transaction number. This method can now be used for withdrawals too.

Bovada Casino Deposit Options – Rapid Transfer Via MoneyGram

This is a similar service to WU, only cheaper – with the transfer fees closer to 5% to 10% of your total. MoneyGram also have offices countrywide (in fact, worldwide) and can take your cash then get it wired electronically very quickly. Again, I recommend you register your Bovada.lv account, then contact the staff for the next step… This is a great method to have available, though obviously not as cheap as a simple credit card transfer.

Bovada Deposits - BitCoin

This is a more recent addition (a few years ago). You can now deposit using BitCoin, with your transfer instantly exchanged into US Dollars at the rate at the time of deposit. This used to be a tech / geek system, though is now very much the mainsteam. You will need to set up a Bitcoin wallet, and then fund it using your bank account / credit card. This is simple enough, and once you have a wallet up an running this can be used over and over for different deposits. Remember, if you keep your bankroll in your BTC wallet, you'll get to 'enjoy' the fluctuations in price, if you cash it out right away, then you can avoid any speculation and take full advantage of system as a deposit / withdrawal method - your call!

You will find a short video over at www.bovada.lv which takes you step by step through the process (which works for Bitcoin Cash as well).

Withdrawing From Bovada

The number 1 withdrawal method is via check, and unlike many other casino sites these are free of charge (unless you want more than one per month). These are usually with you within 2 weeks, which is as good as it gets for any US site in 2021.

You can also withdraw via money transfer, back to your local Western Union office. You'll need to contact support before you choose this method, and there is a fee attached. The good news is that this is super-fast, you can usually pick up the cash within 1 to 3 days.

Bovada have a reputation for being fast and fair with their player’s withdrawals – it is one of the key reasons that this site grew to be the biggest US facing gambling operator!

Bovada – Great Reasons To Play

This site have really focused on recreational players recently, running tons of promotions for smaller stakes gambling fans. Bovada also introduced slots and table games from a 3rd software house to go with their RTG and BetSoft titles. You can now enjoy Rival Gaming titles too. Combine this with great service, speedy withdrawals and a platform which includes a sportsbook and racebook too - and you'll see why this brand is considered the best out there.

Remember - You'll Bet The Best Current Bonuses Guaranteed When You Register Via These Links:

Poker Fans: You can claim a 100% welcome bonus, matched to your first deposit up to $1000 at Bovada.lv
