Banking
At Bovada Casino, moving money should be the easiest part of your experience. We prioritize transparency, data protection, and a wide range of trusted payment options so you can deposit, play, and withdraw with confidence. This page explains which methods are available, how long transactions take, what limits and fees may apply, and the security measures that protect your funds and personal data.
Real payment options you can rely on
Bovada accepts a broad mix of traditional and modern payment methods to fit different preferences and regional restrictions. Available options include Visa, American Express, bank wire transfers, courier cheques, NetSpend, Zelle, UnionPay, Rapid Transfer, Pay by Voucher, MyPayLinQ, money transfers, and a full suite of cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin/BTC, Bitcoin Cash/BCH, Litecoin/LTC, Tether/USDT). Bovada supports USD and Bitcoin as primary currencies.
Two important notes for U.S. players: MasterCard and PayPal are not currently accepted for deposits or withdrawals at Bovada, and some banks block gambling-related card or bank transfers. If your card or bank declines a payment, cryptocurrency deposits are often the fastest and most reliable alternative.
Processing times, limits, and fees
Deposit and withdrawal timelines vary by method. Below are typical expectations you can plan around.
Deposit times
- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, BCH, LTC, USDT): typically near-instant to a few confirmations — usually under 60 minutes after network confirmations.
- Cards (Visa, American Express) and e-wallet-type services: typically instant.
- Bank wire transfers: 1–5 business days.
- Courier cheque: 7–14 business days once the cheque is mailed.
Withdrawal timeframes
- Crypto withdrawals: processed within 24–72 hours, plus blockchain confirmation time.
- Bank wire withdrawals: 3–10 business days after processing.
- Courier cheque: 7–14 business days after processing.
- Methods like Zelle or NetSpend depend on bank policies and may vary.
Minimums and maximums
- Typical minimum deposit: $20 for most welcome offers and standard deposits.
- Maximums vary by method and account status; higher withdrawal caps are often available for verified accounts and VIP members. Check account limits in your cashier or contact support for exact numbers.
Fees
- Most deposits are free on Bovada’s side. Some external providers or banks may charge processing fees, especially for wire transfers or expedited courier cheques. Cryptocurrency transactions generally only incur network (miner) fees. If a fee applies, you’ll be notified before completing the transaction.
If you’re unsure about a specific method’s timing, limits, or fees, contact Bovada customer service by live chat, email at service@bovada.lv, or phone (General Support: 1-888-263-0000; Casino: 1-866-234-1324).
How your money and data are protected
We keep security simple and visible so you can focus on playing. Key protections include:
- SSL/TLS encryption to secure data between your browser and our servers, using industry-standard encryption protocols.
- Secure servers and firewall protection to reduce unauthorized access risks.
- Account verification (ID checks and address confirmation) to stop fraud and protect withdrawals.
- Partnerships with reputable software providers and routine checks to ensure fair play and accurate payouts.
- A dedicated support team that helps resolve suspected fraud or account issues quickly.
We use plain language and proactive checks so you don’t need to be a security expert to know your account is protected.
