We’ve written our fair share of new casino reviews. And what we’ve found is that most new casinos suck.

Why do they suck?

For various reasons, such as:

• They don’t offer anything new
• Poor customer experience
• Non-existent customer support
• Ties with shoddy software providers
• And more

Banking Suite: You will also find that the more secure online blackjack offerings deliver a wide variety of traditional and safe banking options. Accountability: The casinos you can trust most with your hard-earned money will also be very transparent. These safe online blackjack casinos are happy to discuss their policies and beliefs and provide links to this information on their virtual casino. These articles give an absolute upper-bound on the earning potential of a perfect high-low blackjack card counter. These articles hypothesized the world's greatest high-low card counter and determined his optimal win-rate. Here is the counter I considered: The card counter uses the high-low card counting system. The World's Greatest Blackjack Card Counter FAQ. You must have made a mistake in your computer simulations. How can I trust that your results are right? The easy answer is that I didn’t conduct the simulations. Instead, I contacted the premier blackjack programmer on the planet, Norm Wattenberger, who did these simulations for me.

But this review is different. We’re a bit more optimistic because we’re going to talk about Café Casino – a brand new casino that launched in 2016.

We feel differently about them because they have (at the very least) business ties to Bovada.lv, Slots.lv, Bodog and Ignition Casino – all casinos we recommend on this site. For that reason, we feel Café Casino is a bit better than your average new casino.

But let’s get one thing straight –

This doesn’t mean you should trust this casino outright. Or, that you should forego any due diligence. Or, that you can skip reading this review.

We’re not saying that at all – because you shouldn’t.

All we’re saying is you can be more optimistic – maybe let your guard down and give these guys a fighting chance – because they’re in good company.

Assuming they’re a good fit for you. But there’s only one way to find out.

Enjoy the review.

Banking

Here are the banking options Café Casino accepts, along with their processing times and min/max limits.

For Deposits:

All deposits are free. This is a BIG PLUS considering Bovada and Ignition Casino charge fees on their deposits.

For Withdrawals:

One interesting thing about their cash out options is that they post higher limits for VIP players. You can cash out as much as $3,000 for bitcoin, $2,500 for credit cards and $9,500 for bank wires if you’re a VIP member.

Café Casino doesn’t post their fees on their site. When we asked them about it, they sort of danced around the topic and recommended we use bitcoin. When asked again, they said it depends.

We would’ve liked a more straightforward response. But other than that their banking is par for the course.

Shortlist of Casino Promotions

Café Casino doesn’t have as many offers as we’d like. But it’s possible it’s because they’re new. We’ll cut them some slack now, and reevaluate their offers again in 6-12 months.

Here’s what they got for now.

Welcome Bonus

You get to choose from two welcome offers:

• Super Play
• No-Max

The Super Play is a 500% match bonus up to $1,000. Deposit the max $1,000 and Café Casino will give you an additional $5,000. Your total bankroll will be $6,000.

This is easily one of the largest, if not these largest bonus (from a legit casino) available to American players. It has an average 35x rollover.

The No Max is a 100% match bonus up to $1,000. Deposit the full amount and you’ll have $2,000 total to play with.

The ‘no max’ bit refers to there not being a limit to the amount of winnings you can cash out while using the bonus.

The playthrough for this offer is 25x, which is approx. 33% better than the first bonus. You’ll get less money, sure, but you’re more likely to clear the offer and walk away with extra money in your pocket.

Last up, there’s a $10 free chip offer for all players who haven’t made a deposit. You don’t have to make a deposit to get it, but you do have to roll it over 60x, and you’re limited to $125 in winnings.

And like most casinos, Café Casino has a few exceptions regarding their rollover requirement. Some games will only clear a fraction of the total rollover if you choose to play them while on a bonus.

Here are those games and their rollover requirements:

• Pai Gow, Tricard Poker, Let’Em Ride, and Caribbean Poker all count 20%.
• All types of video poker, most types of blackjack, and baccarat count 10%.
• Single deck blackjack and double deck blackjack, craps, and roulette only count 5% toward your wagering requirements.

What this means is you’ll need to wager anywhere from 500x to 1200x, depending on the game you play and the offer you’re clearing.

What we like about this is how Café Casino lets you play roulette or single deck blackjack to clear their offers. Many casinos don’t.

On the other hand, it’s honestly not worth it if you have to wager thousands or tens of thousands to clear a couple hundred or even a couple thousand in bonuses.

The choice is yours, though.

$100 Refer-a-Friend Bonus

Refer friends to Café Casino and they’ll pay you $100. To receive the bonus, both you and your friend will need to deposit $25. This offer also has a 60x rollover.

This is a nice finder’s fee compared to other casinos who only pay you a percentage of your friends deposit. However, the $25 deposit (from you) and 60x rollover is a bit much.

And …that’s it for their core offers.

It’d be nice to have more bonuses or deals. But they ARE a newer casino, so perhaps this will change in the near future.

That said, they do have additional offers for existing customers:

• 10% Daily Cashback– Get cash back on your deposits if you don’t win.
• Huge weekly bonuses– Giant bonuses, changing weekly, to claim on every deposit.
• Weekly Prize Draw– Play for your chance to win a share of the $4,000 prize pool every week.

The cash back and bonuses get a little boost once you’ve made over $25,000 in lifetime deposits and earn 50,000 Café Points within any given month. That’s a nice little incentive to play more often.

Play More Than 200 Casino Games

The core of any online casino is their game selection. The larger the selection, the more diverse the selection, the better.

It looks like Café Casino’s on the right track.

They have more than 200 games to play from leading US-facing software companies, including Genesis Gaming, Real Time Gaming and Rival Gaming.

Here’s a list of all the games you can play.

Slots

Café Casino has more than 150 different slot machines. What’s great about their selection is the variety. You can play slots with:

• Bonus rounds.
• Features (think multipliers, cascading wilds, wilds, free spins, etc.).

• Multiple paylines or ways to win.

You can play slots for as little as $0.01 per line (like a brick and mortar casino). It varies, but you can place bets as high as $100 to $150 (per spin).

Blackjack

Café Casino offers a smaller selection of blackjack games than what we’re used to. But it’s par for the course from Real Time Gaming (most US-facing) casinos.

Here’s what you can choose from:

• Blackjack (6 decks)
• Double Deck Blackjack (2 decks)
• European Blackjack (6 decks)
• Perfect Pairs (6 decks)
• Single Deck Blackjack (1 deck)
• Zappit Blackjack (8 decks)

All their blackjack games have table limits of $1 to $500 per hand. These limits will work for most players, except for the rare few that want to play for thousands or tens of thousands per hand.

One common complaint we’ve seen about these games is how, if you split aces or tens and get a blackjack on either/both hands, you won’t be paid for a ‘natural’ blackjack at 3:2. Casino experts say this is an unusual rule – a rule that’s not in the player’s favor.

Table Games

Café Casino’s table game selection is on the small side, too. That side, the most popular games are there, so most players shouldbe happy.

Your options include:

• Baccarat (6 decks)
• Caribbean Hold’Em
• Caribbean Stud Poker
• Craps
• European Roulette
• Let ‘Em Ride
• Pai Gow Poker
• Roulette
• Tri Card Poker (1 deck)
• Vegas Three Card Rummy (1 deck)

Table limits vary from game to game. $1 is the common minimum table stakes. Max table stakes ranges from $100 to $500, depending on the game you’re playing.

Video Poker

They have nearly a dozen video poker titles. Your options include:

• Bonus Deuces Wild 1 Hand
• Bonus Poker 1 Hand
• Bonus Poker Deluxe 1 Hand
• Deuces Wild
• Double Bonus Poker 1 Hand
• Double Double Bonus Poker 1 Hand
• Double Double Jackpot Poker 1 Hand
• Double Jackpot Poker 1 Hand
• Jacks or Better (1 Hand, 3 Hands, 10 Hands, 52 Hands)
• Joker Poker (1 Hand, 3 Hands, 10 Hands, 52 Hands)
• Loose Deuces (1 Hand)

One thing we like about their video poker games is the different hand variations. You can play 1, 3, 10 or 52 hands at a time.

One thing we don’t care for so much is that, if you removed the ‘deluxe’ or ‘bonus’ variations of some of the games, you’ll find that you have fewer truly unique game variations to play. So, it’d be nice if they added a few more titles.

As for limits, you can play for as little as $0.01/hand, though it’s better strategy to bet the max 5-unit bet if you can swing it. That means betting a min of $0.05 per round.

The max you can bet per hand is $25, or $125 if you make the 5-unit bet.

Specialty Games

They have a nice and diverse selection of ‘specialty’ games. The titles you can play include:

• 30-Ball Bingo
• 80-Ball Bingo
• American Bingo
• Beach Bums
• Cast for Cash
• Cavalier Cash
• European Bingo
• Gunslinger’s Gold
• Itchin’ 2 Win
• Keno
• Penguin Payday
• Pirates Pillage
• Sudoku Box Game
• The Glam Life
• Tiki Treasure

Stakes vary from game to game, but $0.01 will be the lowest min bet you can make.

Software Compatibility + Mobile

We couldn’t find a download link anywhere on their site. This leads us to believe they don’t have one, but instead you’re to play in their instant play casino from your browser.

Read our no download casino pages to learn why these are almost always better than casino downloads.

You can play from any compatible browser, though the most common and your best options will be Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer. Any operating system who support these browsers (Windows, Mac, Linux) should be able to play here.

Mobile Casino

During our review, we also checked out their mobile casino.

The good news is – as best as we can tell – you don’t need to download an app to play their games. Their website is mobile responsive, which means all you have to do is go to their site from your phone or tablet.

What’s so-so about their mobile casino is that we noticed that some of their game sections, like blackjack, are even smaller than their desktop version. They have few blackjack, table and video poker game selections as is, so it’d be nice if they included all of them for mobile players.

The bad news is we couldn’t tell for sure if all sections were affected because our browser crashed several times while trying to use their site (on an iPhone 6s using Google Chrome).

• Edited to add: We later realized our browser would crash whenever we tried to scroll too quickly through their list of games. When we took our time and scrolled through their games slowly, we didn’t have any problems.
• We also found out that every section of their mobile casino is a ‘lite’ version of their desktop casino.

Overall Impression

They have a solid selection of games. It’s a good mix of slots, table and video poker games. Though it’d be nice to have more options in some areas, especially in their mobile casino.

That said, other than our comments above, it’d also be nice to see live dealer table games or even licensed slots. But are a challenge, though, given this is a US-facing site. Most, if not all software companies who have these games won’t work with them.

So, this is a minor complaint, and nothing we can truly hold against Café Casino.

Support

If you have any questions or need help, you can reach out to Café Casino’s support team using the following options:

• Email – [email protected]
• Phone – 1-888-364-1850

It’d be nice to see live chat, but so long as their email and phone support is fast and helpful enough – and we have no reason to think they won’t be – then you probably won’t miss the live chat option.

Things We Like About Café Casino

Here are the things we like most about Café Casino:

• In a way, they’re connected to Bodog, Bovada, Ignition Casino and Slots.lv. Everyone one of these gambling operators have a positive reputation.
• We like how they give you two options for their welcome bonus.
• They have more than 200+ casino games. A large percentage of these are mobile-compatible.
• They charge no fees on deposits (unlike their Bovada and Ignition Casino).

To summarize – Café Casino is in good company. And, in many ways they’re similar to their cousin sites, yet different enough (like no banking fees, for example) to justify existing.

Things They Can Improve

Here are some of the things we think Café Casino can improve:

• They don’t have many promotions. And the information about any ongoing promotions they have is vague.
• A few of their offers have outrageous playthrough requirements. What’s more is you cannot earn points while using bonus dollars.
• Their cash out limits are relatively low (unless you’re a VIP member).
• They have a generic About Us page. Some people care about who they’re doing business with. Café Casino should write up a more detailed page.

To summarize – we’d like to see more information about the company and their ongoing offers. Their withdrawal limits and some bonus playthroughs can be improved, too.

Conclusion

Bottom line – we’re liking what we’re seeing from Café Casino.

What’s great about them is they’re not carbon copies of Bovada or Ignition. There are enough differences here between their banking fees, offers and games to still justify having an account.

That said, they only offer an online casino with no intention (as far as we know) to add a sportsbook or poker room. For that reason, it might make more sense for some players to check out Bovada or Ignition Casino instead.

But if you’re only interested in casino games, or perhaps you simply need a change of pace or a new bonus to clear, then – as of now – we see no reason why you shouldn’t give Café Casino a shot.

Let Our Unbiased Review of Bovada.lv Show You the Real Truth

Deposit & Payout Options

Welcome to my Bovada.lv site review. I’m glad you decided to pay me a visit.

Now, before we get into this one, I need to make something crystal clear from the starting line – Bovada.lv is the most popular US online gambling site by a heck of a margin (roughly 10x on its biggest competitor), and if I know anything about US-friendly gambling sites, it’s that these waters are full of sharks and other predators licking their lips at the prospect of the greenbacks they intend to strip you of. They’ll take you into the depths and financially annihilate you if you make the mistake of falling into their clutches, so it’s best to exercise extra caution when looking for a US gambling site.

Don’t worry, though, because while you might not have the experience to tell whether a gambling site is legit or not, I do, and I’m not going to let you swim in the waters where monsters lurk. As you’ll see if you look around this site some, I regularly harpoon sharks and grill them for dinner. It’s just the way we do things here at LegitGamblingSites.com.

I’ll be assessing Bovada in detail in the rest of this review. Is it legit, or is it simply the biggest and meanest shark of them all? Let’s find out!

Is Bovada Legit?

Yes, Bovada is legitimate. Here’s a quick summary of how I know this:

• It’s been operating since 2011, and scam gambling sites don’t last that long
• It’s run by a highly experienced operator associated with Bodog and some other successful online gambling sites
• Bovada gets 3.4 million visitors a month according to Alexa, which is ten times more traffic than BetOnline (the closest US competitor).
• It operates on a secure, SSL-encrypted connection. You can verify this by checking the left-hand side of the web address where it says “secure” and has a green padlock symbol
• Bovada.lv is highly ranked and is the most visited US online gambling site by far. Check out the Bovada Google trends stats in the interactive graph below to see just how much interest there is in this site

About Bovada

Bovada.lv officially separated from Bodog in 2011 and now operates under it’s own brand. Here’s what else I found out about them.

Unfortunately, Bovada is currently operating with no license. While they used to be licensed by the Kahnawake Gambling Commission, Bovada failed to renew it in 2016 and has been operating without one ever since. The fact that the operator also ran Bodog does give me confidence in the legitimacy of Bovada, since it means the team must know what it’s doing, as these are two of the biggest brands on the US online gambling scene. However, the lack of a license cannot be overlooked, and players should research the risks of gambling on unlicensed sites before signing up.

Online Blackjack Free

As far as web design, navigation, and layout are concerned, Bovada.lv is world-class. It’s simple, clean, and extremely easy to use on any device. That’s the experience of this operator shining through.

Who Can and Can’t Play at Bovada?

While US players are welcome at Bovada, players from the following states won’t be able to register or play here: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Nevada.

While the Bovada.lv terms of service don’t list all of the restricted territories, I visited on my VPN from several regions and learned that it’s not available to players from the following countries:

• UK
• Australia
• Ireland
• Canada
• Italy
• France
• Spain
• Germany
• Austria
• Switzerland

There are lots of other restricted territories at Bovada. Do be aware that this site aims mainly at the US market.

If you’re from one of the prohibited countries above, take a look at some of our other gambling site reviews.

The Good Stuff

Let’s start by looking at Bovada’s strong points.

Great Track Record

Bovada has a long history and a solid track record of dealing fairly and paying players on time.

As the information above shows, this casino is run by a legit operator with lots of experience in the industry. This is exactly what I look for in an online casino.

The Bovada management team launched and runs Bodog and several other US-friendly gambling sites. I know I would rather be in the hands of people who know what they’re doing. Wouldn’t you agree?

Fast Payouts

Bovada processes payments rapidly, and if you choose to use Bitcoin, you will have your money within minutes of the cashier clearing it.

Other payment methods will take longer, but the point is that Bovada processes the payment quicker than most of its competitors, despite being much bigger. That’s impressive!

US-Friendly

If you’re an American player, you will already know that it’s hard to find a quality online gambling site as a US player/bettor. Bovada.lv may just be what you’ve been looking for all this time.

It’s US-friendly, and it accepts Bitcoin as both a deposit and withdrawal method. If you believe you have the right to do what you want with your own money, despite what the government has to say about it, then you’ve found your new gambling home in Bovada.

The Bad Stuff

No Bovada review would be truly objective or fair without considering the site’s weak points. Let’s look at these now.

Deposit and Withdrawal Fees

I get into the deposit and withdrawal fees at Bovada in much more detail below. At this stage, let me just say that you will find them excessive if you use credit or debit cards, but there is a solution.

If you’re willing to take a leap and try Bitcoin, you will pay no fees. In this regard, Bovada is clearly incentivizing players to use Bitcoin. That’s not surprising, given that its founder is one of the biggest cryptocurrency advocates on the planet.

This is the perfect opportunity to try Bitcoin. It has several advantages over other payment methods, and I suggest that you use it at Bovada.

Dual Lines

If you’re going to bet on sports at Bovada.lv, you need to be aware of the “dual lines” policy.

In a nutshell, this means that Bovada will give you different odds if they identify you as a skilled bettor. You might notice this when you place a few bets and win. You might also notice it when you visit Bovada.lv, check the odds, then log in and see different numbers.

It’s a known fact that recreational bettors stick to placing wagers on well-known teams and often do so without much knowledge or research. Educated bettors, on the other hand, often bet on obscure teams and outcomes to get better odds. This behavior will get you tagged by Bovada, and you’ll get sharp lines from then on in.

Game Selection

Bovada doesn’t work with a large range of casino software providers, but it does offer a diverse selection of games. It isn’t the largest games library I have ever seen, but it does cover the main games. It offers something for everyone.

As you’ll see in this section, Bovada offers video slots, table and card games, video poker, bingo, keno, scratch cards, and live casino games.

Which variants does it offer, and are the games any good? That’s what you’ll find out here.

Software

Many of the games at Bovada.lv are run by RealTime Gaming. This is a casino software firm with a long history going all the way back to 1998. That means it has been providing games since the very beginning of the online casino industry.

I wouldn’t say RTG is the best casino games company, period, but it’s definitely a competitor, and it produces some great games. It also produces a full range of games including video slots, table and card games, and video poker.

Some games are powered by Rival. This firm launched in 2005 and has a solid track record for producing high-quality casino games.

Slots

The Bovada slots selection is decent and will be more than enough for most players. You’ll be able to play the following RTG slots:

• A Night With Cleo
• Atlantic Treasures
• Derby Dollars
• As the Reels Turn
• Heavyweight Gold
• Lion’s Roar
• Heavyweight Gold
• Reel Crime 1: Bank Heist
• Secrets of Geisha
• Wheel of Cash
• World of Oz
• Nuclear Fishin’
• Japan-O-Rama
• Gushers Gold
• Fast & Sexy
• Fruit Frenzy
• Gold Rush
• Psychedelic Sixties
• Hole In Won
• Robin Hood
• Spy Game
• Bust-A-Vault
• Atomic Age
• Pistols & Roses

There are over 300 video slots available at Bovada. You’ll be able to check them out for yourself in “practice play” mode. Each of the games also has a description of its bonus rounds and features if you want to read about them before playing.

Video Poker

I’m a big fan of video poker, so I always pay special attention to the titles on offer at the casinos I review. Bovada has a solid selection. It’s neither the biggest nor the smallest video poker library I have seen, but it will do the job for most players.

• Bonus Deuces Wild
• Bonus Poker
• Bonus Poker Deluxe
• Deuces Wild
• Double Bonus Poker
• Double Jackpot Poker
• Double D Bonus Poker
• Double D Jackpot Poker
• Jacks or Better
• Joker Poker
• Loose Deuces

The above is the total number of games offered, although there are multi-hand versions of most. These are also RTG games, so they’re of good quality.

Again, you’ll be able to check them out in “practice” mode. Just enable Flash. You don’t even need to create an account to load them up.

Bets start at $0.10 and go all the way to $50 per hand. Whether you’re a penny player or a high-stakes player, this should let you bet at your comfort level.

Table Games

There are a decent number of table and card games available at Bovada.lv. You won’t find every exotic variant of the games, but you will be able to play the main “popular” games. Check these out:

• American Roulette
• Classic American Roulette
• Classic European Roulette
• Caribbean Hold’em Poker
• Caribbean Stud Poker
• Tri Card Poker
• Let’Em Ride Poker
• Vegas Three Card Rummy
• Pai Gow Poker
• Let ‘Em Ride
• Roll the Dice
• Baccarat
• Craps

As with the other games at Bovada, you don’t need to rely on me to tell you what they’re like. You can play them yourself for free with your fun balance. Bets range from $1 to $500, which means you’ll be able to bet with any bankroll.

Live Casino

There are four live games available at Bovada:

• Baccarat
• Blackjack
• Roulette
• Super 6

The games load quickly, are top-quality, and the dealers are both friendly and polite. However, you won’t be able to play these games for free as with the others.

• If you play blackjack, you’ll be able to bet between $5-$2,500
• If roulette is your game, you’ll be able to bet between $1-$3,000
• If you like baccarat, you will be able to play for as little as $5 or as much as $2,500
• You can also play Super 6 for between $5-$2,500

Other Games

If you want to take a break from traditional casino games, the following games are offered:

• Bingo
• Keno
• Sudoku
• Scratch Cards

My Favorite Find at Bovada.lv

I sincerely enjoyed Goldenman slot at Bovada. I really like the theme, and it immediately attracted me to play it. As you can see from the screenshot below, it’s awesome-looking. It has a free spins bonus round, a bonus round where you need to shoot jets out of the sky for cash prizes, and a decent jackpot of 500x. Give it a try. You’ll enjoy it!

Poker

Bovada does offer online poker tournaments, so if you’re into those, you’ll be happy here.

Sit-and-Go, turbo, $100k guaranteed, high roller, and jackpot tournaments are just some of the weekly offerings at Bovada. They work as follows.

Free Online Blackjack No Download

Sit-and-Go

Sit-and-Go tournaments give you maximum choice. You can choose whether to play Texas Hold’em or Omaha, the number of players you want to compete against (between two and 45), and the buy-in levels you’re comfortable with (between $1 and $200).

There are also some unique twists on Sit-and-Go tournaments. You can choose to play “Deep Stack” for double your starting chips, “Satellite” which allows you to win your way into bigger tournaments, or “Turbo” for faster blind levels. There are some other options available, too.

High Roller

If you like high-stakes poker, this is the tournament for you. There’s $75k in guaranteed prize money available, and these take place every Sunday at 6pm ET.

You’ll have to qualify to participate in this one, though. You can find out about the different paths to do so directly on the site.

Turbo

Some people just have a thing for speed. If you fit that description, the daily turbo tournaments could be for you.

Turbo tournaments are defined by the fast blinds which increase every two to six minutes. There are even “hyper” and “super” turbo tournaments if you really want to turn up the heat.

If you play on Thursdays or Fridays, these turbo tournaments have $75,000 in guaranteed prize money.

$100k Guaranteed

Sunday seems to be the big poker day at Bovada, as this is another big-money tournament which happens at 4pm ET on a Sunday.

There’s $100k guaranteed, and the top prize is $20k. Again, you’ll have to qualify for this one. You can find out how to do so on the Bovada poker page.

Jackpot Sit-and-Go

If you don’t have the time to play through the qualifying rounds to make your way to the big-money tables, these tournaments are a solution.

They involve only three players, follow the “hyper turbo” structure, and the prize pool is determined randomly by a spinning reel once all three players have bought in. You could win up to 1,000x your buy-in.

General Thoughts

This is a comprehensive poker section, and I can see why it’s one of the leaders in the US market. I like that there are games for every type of player and that they’re regular.

I also like that the poker section has additional useful features such as guides on how to play poker, anonymous tables, the ability to chat while you play, the ability to customize your tables by picking your language or your preferred card design, and a mobile poker platform.

Sportsbook

As the leading US online sportsbook, I had high expectations when I landed in the Bovada sports lobby. The following is a summary of what I found.

You’ll be able to bet on:

• Baseball
• Basketball
• Football
• Soccer
• Tennis
• Golf
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Esports
• Entertainment
• Futsal
• Gaelic Games
• Handball
• Hockey
• Horse Racing
• Motorsports
• Numbers Games
• Politics
• Rugby
• Specials
• Table Tennis
• UFC/MMA

You can place moneyline, parlay, proposition, and in-play bets at Bovada.

The interface is simple, clean, and intuitively easy to understand. Odds are displayed in American format, and the betting slip is lightning-fast since there is no “review” stage. You just place your bets and click for instant action.

Bovada.lv is totally mobile-friendly, and when you visit, you’ll see a version of the site compatible with your device. You can visit on any device to play directly from your mobile browser, or you can download the Bovada app if you’re playing on an Android or iOS device.

You can get this by downloading it from the site or by scanning the Bovada QR code directly on the site.

Esports

Esports options include Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, and StarCraft.

This isn’t the biggest selection of esports games I have seen at online bookmakers, but most of the betting action happens on these games, so it should be enough for most.

You’ll be able to bet on annual global tournaments such as the Summer Brazil and the Oceana, as well as the ongoing esports leagues.

Live Betting

You can enjoy Bovada live betting on soccer, tennis, esports, snooker, cricket, and table tennis. Click the “live” symbol, and you’ll see all of your betting options and the Bovada live betting odds.

For example, if you bet on soccer, you will be able to place bets on game results, first and second half results, corners, corners in each half, which team will kick off, which team will score next, team totals, and whether or not both teams will score.

Betting Limits

Bovada doesn’t publish betting limits, but a quick look at popular gambling forums will show you that they have small betting limits. Why they do this is obvious – high-stakes bettors willing to bet thousands of dollars on a bet tend to be educated or possibly have a winning tip.

Also be aware that Bovada.lv offers different lines for different players. If they tag you as a recreational bettor, as opposed to an educated one, you’ll get better odds. Dual lines, as these are known, are the main gripe Bovada bettors have with this sportsbook.

Promotions

You’ll notice that the Bovada bonuses are bigger than you might find elsewhere, especially if you choose to use Bitcoin.

Better still, there are bonuses for sports bettors, casino players, poker players, and Bitcoin enthusiasts playing any game.

Are the bonuses fair, and do they have reasonable terms and conditions? I plan to lay that out for you in detail here.

Sports Welcome Bonus

If you’re aiming to bet on sports at Bovada, you’ll be able to claim a welcome bonus of 50% up to $250.

The rollover requirements are 5x on this bonus, which is reasonable. You’ll have to wager the deposit amount plus the bonus amount, though.

Casino Welcome Bonus

If you’re out to play casino games at Bovada, you’ll be able to claim a deposit bonus and two reload bonuses each worth 100% up to $1,000.

You’ll need to use the Bovada bonus code NEWWELCOME to claim these. You’ll need to meet the 25x playthrough requirements on the first before you can claim subsequent bonuses.

Bitcoin Welcome Bonuses

If you prefer to use Bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, you can claim sportsbook and casino Bitcoin bonuses, too.

As a sports bettor, you can claim 50% up to $500 by using the bonus code BVSBITCOIN50. You’ll need to wager the deposit and withdrawal 5x before you can withdraw it.

As a casino player, you can claim a 150% deposit bonus up to the value of $1,500. Use the bonus code BVCBITCOIN150. You’ll be able to claim this three times, giving you a grand total of $4,500 in Bovada bonus cash when using Bitcoin. You’ll need to wager your deposit plus bonus 25x.

Poker Welcome Bonus

The Bovada poker rooms are well worth a look if you normally enjoy poker. To get things kicked off, you’ll be able to claim a poker welcome bonus of 100% up to $500.

As with many online poker bonuses, this one is released in stages as you accumulate points. You’ll need to download the Bovada poker client and start playing. Each time you reach a new level, you’ll get the next stage of your bonus cash. There are no rollover requirements on poker bonus cash.

Banking

If you’ve ever considered using Bitcoin before but haven’t quite had the incentive, you will when you understand Bovada’s fee structure. This casino gives you one free deposit via credit or debit card but then charges 5.9% on all Visa and Mastercard transactions. If you opt to use Amex, you’ll pay a 9.9% fee.

With regards to withdrawals, Bitcoin transfers are free, whereas the first check each month is free, and a flat fee of $50 is applied to each check thereafter.

Avoid these unnecessary fees and try using Bitcoin! Trust me when I tell you that it’s nowhere near as scary as it seems, and once you try it, you will never go back to everyday payment methods when gambling online. Bovada has even created a detailed Bitcoin guide explaining what it is, how to get it, and how to use it.

This is an okay number of ways to make deposits and withdrawals, given that it’s a US casino and the number will necessarily be limited as a result. Ideally, I would like to see a few more altcoins accepted, although Bovada does allow you to withdraw by Bitcoin Cash.

With regards to Bovada’s payout times, expect Bitcoin withdrawals within minutes of them being processed. If you choose to withdraw by check, expect your check within 10 days.

The minimum withdrawal is $20. The maximum is $3,000 by check every 1-7 days and $9,500 by Bitcoin every 1-3 days. Note that you will not be able to withdraw by Bitcoin unless you have made at least one deposit via Bitcoin before.

Deposit Methods

• Credit Cards
• Debit Cards
• Bitcoin

Withdrawal Methods

• Check
• Bitcoin
• Bitcoin Cash

VIP Program

You’ll begin earning Bovada loyalty points from the first real money bet or wager you make. You’ll also get cashback on losses and will be able to climb through the ranks, unlocking greater rewards as you go.

Levels include Starter, Rookie, Pro, All-Star, Legend, and the Hall of Fame, giving this rewards program a baseball theme.

As you climb through the levels, you’ll get greater cashback rates, and your reward points accumulation rate will increase. Check out the screenshot below for a full overview.

So, this is a simple and to-the-point rewards program. That’s a good thing, in my view. It makes it easy to understand and to know where you stand.

Customer Service

If you need to reach Bovada customer support, you have the following options.

Email – You can use the contact form on the Bovada.lv site or can send an email to [email protected] You’ll get a response within 24 hours, which is average for a busy online casino.

Live Chat – You can click the “chat” icon at any time of the day or night to chat with a customer support agent instantly. Replies are quick, professional, and to the point. This is how it should be.

Telephone – If you’re in the US, you can call Bovada toll-free at 1-888-263-0000. Like the live chat feature, this option is available 24/7.

FAQ/Help – I don’t list most casino FAQ sections, as they aren’t usually worth talking about. However, Bovada has gone to a lot of effort to put together an extensive FAQ section. There are sections for casino games, sports, horses, financials, bonuses, Bitcoin, poker, and general questions. This is worth a look, as it’s highly likely you’ll find an answer here.

Bovada customer support is great. I would like to see a toll-free number for each of the countries/regions which Bovada players come from. However, one is better than none. In general, the customer support here is as it should be.

Would I Play at Bovada Casino?

Bovada offers something for everyone, and on the whole, it’s an excellent online gambling site.

I like that Bovada offers casino games, sports betting, and poker, and I like that it accepts both US players and Bitcoin.

Do be aware of the large number of restricted territories, but as long as you’re eligible to play here, Bovada.lv is well worth a closer look. I advise you to check it out for yourself. That’s the best way to decide!
