I just bought in for a little bit of cash in Bovada. Been away from the poker world for a while and wanting to dive back in for a little bit. How is everyone's experience at Bovada? Seems like the best choice after weighing all the limited options of poker rooms in the USA.

Yeah once you verify your identity, which is really quick it takes around 2 weeks to get your check once you request payout. They have faster payout options as well like moneygram or western union. I choose check because I can request payout once per month for free.

Bovada is my top pick, I like the tourneys there, Just stay away from betonline and you'll do fine, If you want speedy withdraws try americas cardroom, The only bad thing I can say about them is the lack of tourneys.

My only complaint about Bovada is that they don't have an auto top off, so you are constantly having to add to your stack if you drop below 100bbs.

I'm looking at downloading Bovada this weekend. I've heard nothing but good things about them, at least in terms of U.S. availability. I heard awhile back that payouts were easy and legit, but that sometimes it took awhile (3 months), but I can't speak to the accuracy of that statement myself.

Bovada looks like a great site from the outside, but when you start playing, funny things start to happen. The guy calls me with a shitty hand as i have pocket aces in the bubble stage of the tournament. I have him covered. If he looses he is out.
He has a good stack where he doesn't need to do any moves and make it to the cash. He goes all in with 9 5 suited.
He catches runner runner to get a flush.

Its the best option for US players. Cashouts are fast. The traffic is much bigger than any other site.

I love their tournaments, action, and the fact that you can call them and speak with representatives regarding any issue. I highly recommend this site.

Bovada is a great site to play on. Lots of fish and maniac gamblers that build up money betting Sportsbook and have fun playing poker. Cashouts are the best in the U.S. from my experience and what everyone on 2+2 says as well.

Like someone said, not having an auto top-off feature sucks and anonymous play takes some time to get used to, but overall you can crush the soft games there if you are a decent player. My study group community, microgrinder.com has several Bovada Regs in it if you if you're interested in chatting strategy with us.

People say they see crazy stuff happen on Bovada and insane irregular play that makes no sense. That is because there are so many fishy gamblers on the site. In the short-term variance can suck if they suckout, but in the long-run they fuel the game and your bankroll. :)

It seems to be a good site. I agree with the posts about fishy play and suck outs. I do agree that it is just bad players and not shady activity. You remember the times you get sucked out on a lot more than when you stack them with your AA. Deposits and payouts are quick and painless.

Once you complete your first payout it is fast. I applied for my second payout on a Sunday and my check was delivered on Wednesday morning. I was impressed.:)

I really like Bovada and their selection of MTTs w/ gtd prize pools. Lemme just give you a bit of advice. When the cards turn south on you sit out. I play anywhere from 2-6 tables at a time and when they go bad on 1 table they go bad on all of em. I have been absolutely murdered over the last week and learned that lesson the hard way. I switched to Carbon last night and so far so good.

Bovada is for sure the site for US players in states that don't have regulated sites yet.

Lets Hope So

They actually gave me a call today and welcomed me to thier site and went over ways I can deposit being in America, is it as easy to get my money out as it is to put in??


After my exp. with Binary Options and getting paid by foreign sites can only hope for the best. Did do some research and found some players who have gotten paid.
