Well I just made my first ever deposit on bovada and I am curious with which tournaments I should start right now i'm registered in a $1.00 $0.10 buy in and 18 players are in

I only deposited $50.00 to test this out I don't want to go in over my head but any suggestions on which tourneys to play in would be appreciated

Also I am still unable to play in their free tournaments no idea why but I still keep getting that -71 error message even after I deposited. if anyone from bovada can help me out with that I would appreciate it

For The Error Message contact support at bovada... they should be able to clear this up for you and in a timely manner... I am going to make my first deposit this Thursday for extactly the same $50...

Intertop's had connection issues this morning and screwed me out of $60... They say it is my problem... I HAVE A FRICKIN T1 CONNECTION that has NEVER gone out in THREE years of having it!!! And they blame me... so I am done with intertops.... it seems like they do not give a flying you know what about the USA market anymore as they closed their doors... Also there was a cash ring buy in that I never authorized and I had just changed my password... There is some fishy stuff going on so I reported all the logs of chat to Sportsbookreview.com ... Seems like they can only get the best of it... My account was not compromised... I have heard horror stories from people who cash out there account and then all of a sudden these bad beats and weird account activity happens... Oh and to top it off they never paid me my rakeback on the Third of September... said they did... my tracker says otherwise... also passed that along to sportsbookreview.com .

I am done with intertops... I live off fixed income ($907) a month as I am disabled mentally... So the $50 deposit vanishing means a lot to me... I know most of you out there make a lot of more money... but I can't afford to be scammed like that... I am blessed to have a wife that makes $2.5k a month or I would be up s**t creek without a paddle... I have digressed a lot here...

Congrats OP on the win... keep it up... I will be along side you soon!

All The Best,
Moe.:cool:

ouch yeah I heard the same thing about bovada from some players that have had bad experiences which is why I only deposited $50

looks like I will try to get a hold of support their freerolls don't have that many people so I am hoping I can pull out a couple wins

Beast! Nice job man

You're probly not targeting fr's right now but if you dont see ticket next to the tourny you can't play in it.

Go to Account>>Tournament Tickets
Whatever you have there you can play.

Thank you :)

I am targeting scheduled tournaments and I can't play in the fr's because of the error just waiting for them to fix it

also in the tourney I said I was joining already two knockouts for a total of $10 one more and I will almost have my entry fee back so even if I lose it won't be a bad loss to my bankroll

anyway depending on if I do well or horrible I might possibly have another update tomorrow night

I didnt comment before when I saw it but I will now.

Total myth. Anyone that claims a payout dispute just doesn't know how to use a computer. THEY ALWAYS PAY. I would have no problem posting my w/d history if its honestly a concern.

Not to mention they are the fastest payouts for US players.

another update even though I just entered a tourney I regret it i'm so sleepy oh well it's only $8.00 + $0.80

even if i lose my bank roll will be $555.32 which is almost a $90 increase in 5 hours still waiting for that $300 withdraw to show

if I do manage to cash in this tourney before I fall asleep I will give an update

and for the record I've heard good stuff about bovada so I'll trust them until they prove me wrong

It may take them a day or two to approve the withdrawal. This is usually how it works when I ask for a payout.

I have never had any issue receiving my payouts from bovada.

The freerolls have a ticket entry. That is why you are getting the error message. You have to earn your tickets weekly for the king of the felt freerolls by cashing in at least 4 SNG's. (3 to get put into the drawing for the $1000 heads up and 1 extra for the tickets.)

The other freerolls you have to spend points on qualifier tournaments or sng's and win your way in.

yeah I get an email and I am waiting not patiently but I'm waiting
they sent me an email and told me I would get some free tickets and I am waiting on those aswell long story short I am waiting on everything even the tourney's I like to play in none are going on right now

It amazes me how patient I can be waiting for a decent hand for 2 hours sometimes but I can't wait for even popcorn to finish popping before I open the microwave
