Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 15, 2024

1. Introduction & Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Bovada (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the Bovada website, mobile application, and any associated services (collectively, the "Services"). By creating an account, depositing funds, or participating in any gaming activity, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Services. We reserve the right to amend, modify, or update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the website. Your continued use of the Services following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility Requirements

To use our Services, you must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

2.1 Restricted Jurisdictions

Bovada operates under specific licenses and complies with international gaming regulations. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that online gambling is legal in your jurisdiction. We do not intend for the Services to be used for prohibited purposes in restricted areas, including but not limited to the United Kingdom, Australia, and certain European territories where specific local licenses are required.

Users located in New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, Maryland, and New York are strictly prohibited from creating accounts or placing wagers due to state-specific regulatory restrictions.

3. User Account Management

Each user is entitled to one (1) account only. The creation of multiple accounts ("multi-accounting") to circumvent limits, exploit bonuses, or for any other reason is strictly prohibited and will result in the immediate termination of all associated accounts and forfeiture of any balances.

3.1 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your username, password, and four-digit security PIN. Bovada will not be held liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized access to your account due to your negligence in securing your credentials.

3.2 Verification (KYC)

We reserve the right to request documentation to verify your identity, age, and address at any time. This may include a government-issued ID, utility bills, or proof of ownership for your payment methods. Failure to provide requested documentation within the specified timeframe may lead to account suspension or the withholding of withdrawal requests.

4. Deposits & Withdrawals

Bovada provides a secure platform for financial transactions. Deposits must be made using methods owned solely by the account holder. Third-party deposits are strictly prohibited.

4.1 Deposit Limits

Minimum and maximum deposit limits vary depending on the chosen method (e.g., Credit Card, Bitcoin, Ethereum). We reserve the right to modify these limits or apply individual limits to specific accounts based on risk assessment.

4.2 Withdrawal Processing

Withdrawals are processed in the order they are received. While we strive to process cryptocurrency withdrawals within 24 hours, traditional methods like Check by Courier or Wire Transfer may take 5-10 business days. Large withdrawals may be subject to additional security reviews, which can extend processing times.

All deposited funds must be wagered at least once (1x rollover) before they are eligible for withdrawal, in compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

5. Bonuses & Promotions

All bonuses offered by Bovada are subject to specific terms and conditions, including wagering requirements (rollover). Wagering requirements must be met before any bonus funds or winnings derived from bonuses can be withdrawn.

5.1 Bonus Abuse

Bonus abuse includes, but is not limited to: creating multiple accounts to claim a bonus, using low-risk wagering patterns (e.g., betting on red and black in Roulette simultaneously), or collaborating with other players to meet rollover requirements. Bovada reserves the right to void any bonuses and associated winnings if abuse is detected.

5.2 Expiration

Unless otherwise stated, bonuses expire 30 days after being issued. If the wagering requirements are not met within this period, the bonus and any pending winnings will be forfeited.

6. Prohibited Conduct

Users are expected to engage with the Services in a fair and respectful manner. The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

  • Using automated software, bots, or artificial intelligence to participate in games.
  • Colluding with other players to gain an unfair advantage.
  • Exploiting software bugs or vulnerabilities for personal gain.
  • Engaging in money laundering, fraud, or any illegal financial activities.
  • Using abusive, threatening, or defamatory language in chat rooms or with support staff.

7. Casino Game Rules & Fair Play

All casino games at Bovada utilize a certified Random Number Generator (RNG) to ensure fair and unpredictable outcomes. By playing, you agree to the specific rules of each individual game as outlined in the "Game Rules" or "Help" section within the game interface.

In the event of a system malfunction or disconnection during gameplay, Bovada's records shall be considered the final authority on the outcome. Wagers affected by a technical failure that prevents a clear outcome will be voided and returned to the player's balance.

8. Responsible Gaming

Bovada is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming experience. We provide several tools to help you manage your gambling habits:

8.1 Self-Exclusion

If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, you may request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion from our Services. During the exclusion period, you will be unable to access your account or place wagers. This action is irreversible for the duration of the chosen period.

8.2 Deposit Limits

Users can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to maintain control over their spending. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits will be allowed until the period expires.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bovada and its affiliates, officers, and employees shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the Services. This includes, but is not limited to, losses resulting from technical errors, network interruptions, or account unauthorized access.

We do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free at all times. The Services are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.

10. Termination of Agreement

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms or for any behavior we deem harmful to the Company or its users. Upon termination, any remaining funds in your account may be withheld if the termination is due to fraud, collusion, or illegal activity.

You may close your account at any time by contacting Customer Support, provided that all pending wagers have been settled and no outstanding investigations are ongoing.
