I tried to deposit into my account at Bovada yesterday and the attempt was denied by my bank.
Generally speaking this has not been the case. I have deposited smaller amounts from both of my banks successfully before and have only seen this denial once or twice.
A few minutes later I had a phone call from an unrecognized 800 number. The message they left went something like this:
Hello Mr. X, this is so-and-so from {my bank} and I am investigating fraud due to recent attempted purchases using your visa car ending in -xxxx.
Please call us back at his number or the number on the back of your card. Any agent may assist you with this matter.
I have always found it quite sketchy that the deposits are billed under a seemingly rotating handle, meaning the descriptor is always different. Sometimes they bill as f-astrep.net or some other generic online services co.
Never anything descriptive of the actual service and presumably nothing traceable either.
I am starting to feel this is B.S. and maybe my bank is on the right track investigating something that puts a great deal of us at risk. I mean there are really not any governing bodies who can enforce fairness or legality for the websites that we play on. While we all joke that it may be rigged, these companies could literally be laughing all the way to the bank. It truly is possible that the companies themselves employ bots and artificial software to siphon money away from legitimate players on an hourly or % of hands basis.
I am going to slow my roll on this deposit until I investigate this. I am thoroughly displeased that I can't play the stake that I want to this weekend but in actuality this could be a blessing in disguise.
Maybe this is meant to save me money.
