Cassino Bovada

I just want to warn you folks out there not to believe the warm flowery reviews you have seen regarding this casino.  Yes, their customer service people are very nice and yes, they are usually pretty fast at sending out a check if you are lucky enough to come out ahead but the truth is that they are not as good /fair as they would have you believe.  I have been playing at this site for years (since they were the Bodog site) and I have seen a drastic change in this operation.  There was a time when you could actually win a decent amount from time to time but that has changed.  In the last couple of years I have played consistently at this site and spent thousands of dollars only to see it get eaten away over and over again.  I play the slot games like Achilles, Caesar's Empire, Tally Ho, and El Luchidor and I can tell you that they will not let you win anything substantial these days.  If you are fortunate enough to hit the bonus feature on one of these games you will find that more often than not it will pay next to nothing.  And we all know that if you can't earn any money with the bonuses, then you are not going to beat the game.  Under the Bodog banner in years past, I was able to cash out winnings in excess of a thousand dollars once or twice a year but that is no longer true.  They have significantly reduced the number of possible high win spins and as I said before, the chances of winning anything decent if you trigger the bonus has also been greatly reduced.  So be aware.  They are only smiling at you because they have their hand on your wallet.

Sorry to hear things have gone a little downward at this site.  I truly hope your luck changes or perhaps it's time to consider playing somewhere else.

I have never heard of this casino before. But I appreciate every warning / experience written down here.

I have to agree with the OP on this. Bovada does suck your money dry. I was playing there a couple months ago. I made about 5 deposits and decided I've seen enough and closed my account. Bodog was great back in the day. But its very tight now...

Ya know, I was thinking about making a post regarding Bovada just today.  I've played there for a long time, and yes, they have good CS (although no live chat, they are readily available via email and telephone), have always paid wins quickly and have several withdrawal methods, and I generally like their games.

I take a deposit bonus there about half the time I play.  The RO is high, 35-40x.  I would say I can clear the RO 80% of the time I use a deposit bonus, which is practically an anomaly when dealing with deposit bonuses with that high of a rollover.  Usually when I clear it I have around $50 to play with.  That lasts literally two minutes.  When I don't use a deposit bonus there lately, it literally seems like I'm just lighting a $20 bill on fire. 

I agree, their odds have definitely changed for the worse there, and I am going to hold off on depositing until I get a free chip or something of the sort and am able to cash it out.
