Bovada review: Bovada Poker is so rigged 81

I play on bovada 4to 5 hours a nite if u win they find a wy to screw you like I had tens the flop was 2 tens 1 queen other player had 2 queens I have 4 tens he has queens over tens the turn a 2 the river a queen now that is ###

So I agree with everything that has been said. I've had horrible runs at the casino, and I've seen similar situations both live and online. Bovada uses a recreational poker model. It is designed to make the playing experience more enjoyable for donkey players basically. You will win once you deposit and usually a little when its your last money just to keep you going. However be prepared for the site to flip a switch once a withdrawl is made. You will immediately start to feel an eerie since that the mathematical odds of this wonderful game of poker no longer count for much. AK or KK will almost instantly lose there pre flp strength. You will get called near immediately and lose to either Ace-### or some other ungodly combination.
So I was out of money but I had won a $55 dollar ticket to the nightly 30k so I decided to put it all on the line. Couple orbits nothing. Finally I get KK. Player #555 raised in the cut-off and I merely called on the button. Then BB raises to 1250 (we started with 10k in chips) . Player #555 thinks and calls. I push for 9500, BB thinks and folds and player 555 snap calls 8000 with 44. He hits a 4, I try to get him to talk but all I got was silence. BB folded JJ...anyhow I finished 36 for $174 so now I had some money to play with. Player #555 ended up winning the tourney making insane calls the whole way. I cash out $100 immediately because I know how this ### works...cash out or lose it. I also knew the curse would begin but with this being the only US poker site to play on, I'm a sucker for cards. So I have $74 to play with. Within 20 minutes on Zone I've lost $40 AK to KQ, JJ to 77 and AQ to A5. Frustrated I quit for the night. The rest is gone now and here are my final hands. I was playing .10/.25 Zone for $24 and a $10 tourney. The Tourney I was up then flopped a Straight and was drawn out on by a runner runner flush. Still had chips waited got Ak lost to A9 again. Still had chips Got QQ against AK AJ...Ace on Turn game over. With The cash table I flp a straight get all in and the board straights out so we split the pot. Then my AJ loses to QJ. My AK loses to a 2 pair K2 hit his 2 on the river. And finally I push for my last $8 with JJ and get snap called by 9 10 offsuit. Board goes 9 10 2 8 9. Calvin Ayers is a criminal who is wanted internationally for money laundering/sex trafficking and the scam that is Bovada. I've experienced the Losing cycle multiple times after withdrawing and the site being rigged. It's confirmed here by all of your own experiences. Thank you for sharing and please continue to do so. You don't have to claim to be the best poker player to feel something is off with a companies RCG software. Poker is meant to be a challenging gaming of over thinking the other...or shoving it all in and letting the cards fall as they may. But when you don't have faith that the same math is at work on the virtual felt compared to the live green felt then somethings wrong. THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. Im done being angry and bad beats hurt but I swallow them and continue the grind. I'm done with Bovada though. I have no idea who i'm playing and I know that ultimately the house has the advantage, all the power, bot or superusers. OR maybe like party poker back in the day they assigned winning percentages to each user account and you can never win more than a certain amount. Bovada needs to be shamed just like Full Tilt for what they did to their players.
DON'T PLAY ON BOVADA. ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE ON THIS BLOG IS PROBABLY AN EMPLOYEE. THEY ARE CROOKED AND WANT THE MONEY TO STAY IN PLAY SO THEY GET MORE RAKES.

TAKE CARE ALL AND GOD BLESS

I really want to believe Bovada poker is real and random but I just cannot trust it. There's just something not right going on, how the board runout always seems to favor the worst hand. If it wasn't for all the ### on there I would be playing for decent money by now but every time I start to make progress they bad beat me a few times and right back down to even. As is being said here, many "gambling " calls being made with extremely weak hands or nothing that are being dealt the necessary cards to win. I really think they babysit/bail out the bad players so they don't lose all their money at poker, that way they might keep giving action to the sportsbook or casino. Having a sportsbook/casino at an online room is a conflict of interest, it's not in the site's best interest to have legit poker going on, they would much rather the players be losing money to them, not to a poker player who will cash out his winnings. If you want to play real poker, gotta stick to the live games. If you play on Bovada(or really any other online poker site) don't be surprised when the odds continually get bucked over and over by longshots.

sites a joke. I blew 20$ into 3, 000$ in less than 2 hours playing relentlessly crazy like all the other donks at six handed games blowing limits using no bankroll management. put it all heads up and got destroyed by the craziest ### hand after hand. I understand I didn't use bankroll management. I complained to site then that I think that heads up cash game may be intentionally a number cuz ur playing a cpu controlled site bot. but customer support got upset had 2 successful deposits go through with their site and they banned my account from logging in so whatever. if they lock an account for saying that they cheat then maybe they do cheat? who cares. play REAL LIFE poker. -Ollie on!

I agree with many of you that bovada is crooked as hell. I have seen over and over again unexplainable bad beats where players have absolutely no business at all even calling to see a flop yet they are re-raising or 3 betting with garbage like 6 4 off suit and hitting straights on the flop against my kk or aa. even in large tourneys after hours of play invested this happens and I have no answer except that there is something fishy going on. I have been playing poker almost 20 years and have never seen such things yet it happens almost daily on bovada, I wish I wasn't such an addict or I would never play again but every once in a while I get on a hot streak just to be reeled back in. my advice, never start just stay away this site is definitely rigged...I have lost so much money here its sickening but I have nowhere else to play. boycott bovada its a huge scam

Had QQ in SB on .25/.50 zone. UTG raised to 1.50, UTG+1 raises to 9.25, a huge ridiculous bet! I shoved $50 thinking he couldn't possibly be playing a value hand like that. UTG folds and UTG+1 snap called with 24dd. My thought was "wtf this guy must be ready to gamble thinking I had AK and thought he could hit a pair to win". Flop was AK3, turn J, river 5 to give him a wheel. Unbelievable. No real person without prior knowledge of that would call off $50 with 42dd. I'm a believer now & will no longer invest my time or money on this racket. I suggest you consider doing the same!

Just put $22 on the site and went into 4 simultaneous $5+.50 NLHE's.
First tourney: 12th hand of the tournament, I get JJ on the button. UTG raises to $250, everyone folds to me. I call. Flop hits J 10 6. UTG leads out $500, I repop to all in (I had 1250 back). He calls with KK. K on the turn. I'm out.
Second tourney: 30th hand of the tourney. I've played maybe 3 hands thus far: AK, AJs, and 99, so the table knows I'm playing pretty tight.
Button raises to 500 on 100/200 blinds. I'm SB and call with 66. Flop comes 5-6-J. I check, he bets 800. I re-pop to 1650. He shoves. I snap. He shows 99. 9 on the turn, 2 on the river. I'm out.
Third Tourney: I took 2 minor beats and chip stack is down to 1100, there's a maniac 2 seats to my right, so I'm keeping things as tight as I can. I get AK os UTG. Blinds are 150/300, so I shove for 1099. I get called by the button and the maniac. Maniac shows 5h3h, button shows 55. Flop comes Q95. Turn is J, Riv is 7. At this point I'm in utter disbelief.
My 4th tourney i'm up about 3k in chips, tourney avg is around 2200. I pick up AK in the BB. There are 2 small stacks UTG and UTG +1, so I'm hoping to get at least one of them all in. Button flats, everyone else folds to me. I min-raise to 600. BB flats again. Flop comes A K 8 rainbow. I bet 40% pot, BB raises all in (he's got me covered by 2.5 to 1.) I snap call. He shows AQ suited. Turn Q, River Q.

Seriously, to hell with this site. Never again will I put a SINGLE DIME to this place. People can yammer on all they want about how online action is "faster" than live action, so they should expect beats more often (i.e. higher variance). There's a difference between higher variance and straight up A** fu**ing.
The last thing I need is to deposit money to a site that makes me feel like a chump no matter how well/snug I play. I've played live poker for over 20 years and believe me, I've had good runs and bad runs, but never back to back to back to back hits like this. Never.

Okay, let me first say that I am a winning poker player both online and at casinos, and I have been playing for over ten years. I originally started playing poker on Pokerstars and Fulltilt in college. As a poor student, I didn't have the bankroll, so I played small stakes and was making $1000 to $2000 a month as a part time job. Sure there were many bad beats, but my solid and consistent poker play always put me out on top, and I never expected any foul play (cheating) going on. To further legitimize my poker experience and skill, I average about $80/hour at live casinos playing $1/$3. So this is coming from someone who has played tens of thousands of poker hands, and is a long term winning poker player (albeit low stakes). However, my experience differed greatly on Bovada. I have bought in several times on Bovada, and each deposit session (whether it be a few days or a few weeks) was strikingly similar. I will tell you about one of them: So I made a deposit for $50 one time. I started with small SNG's, $6.50 and $12.50 buy-ins or whatever, with some .25/.50 cash games to get my bankroll up. Once I got up to about $300 to $400 dollars, I moved up to .50/1, and from there I worked my bankroll up to about $1500. I was playing great poker, tight and aggressive and occasionally loosening up verses weaker tables that allowed me to do so. Once I got up to $1500 or so, it was as if I hit a brick wall. I know all about variance, bad beats, and all that crap. I have lived it, and I am successful because I do not tilt. But MAN, I started losing so many pots to absolutely ridiculous plays that defied logic. As I read some of these posts, it is as if I was reliving my experience playing Bovada Poker. I was experiencing continuous beats far worse than I ever did on Pokerstars and Fulltilt (and I definitely had some crazy beats there). But like other people are saying, these bad beats on Bovada truly defy logic. For example, I would get a hand like AK, and raise 4x the blind preflop. Two players call. Say the Flop comes As Jd 2c rainbow. I bet at least half the pot or more. One player calls, the other folds. Then the Turn Card comes 7c, and I move all-in for more than enough money for anyone to justify calling with a flush draw. The player calls, and the River is a 10c. I think to myself "crap, I hope he doesn't have the flush", and the player turns over a damn 10s 7h and wins the pot with a two-pair. It just doesn't make any sense. These kinds of hands started to happen REGULARLY. This is not variance. The only explanation is some sort of cheating, whether it be Bovada or the User. No one in there right mind would call a bet like that with only the 3rd best pair on the board with NO other draws, let alone call the bet on the flop, with NO draws. The player shouldn't have even been in the hand in the first place. I know some people may think "well that's just poker". But the thing is, is that it didn't just happen every once in a while (which I could understand). This crap was happening A LOT, especially after I had already stacked up a bunch of winnings. I am convinced that from my experience, the odds of there being foul play on Bovada (whether it be Bovada scamming or the User cheating) is VERY high.

BOVADA is worse than ISIS

Glad im not the only one who has been royally boned time and time again by [censored]VADA... how many times can you lose with AA to 44, better yet I have lost AA to AA. I want to punch bovada right in the balls. the question is how do we go about screwing them back. we clearly have 100s n thousands who agree and want something done about it. anyone a lawyer? What are our legal options? we need to get together a class action lawsuit and show them what its like to get owned over and over and over. anyone who can help or knows how to get this done please respond here or send me and email dougm0001@yahoo.com. Willing to pay for a lawyer

I have deposited money, , , and have lost each and every time, , , Yes you may win a little at first then you will get dealt hands that will cost oyu money when finished.
What, s funny when I real live poker in casinos I win most of the time I walk away with more than I had.
So save you money for live poker go to a casino... you will have better odds ..

Save your money for live poker...

Bovada uses a five thousand hand deck. In hold em there are over 1 million possible hands. When you only use 5000 out of a million you get all the examples posters have said in the above statement. They also use an all in fix. Some days the guy who goes all in loses and some days the guy who goes all in wins. I noticed that the trends play out no matter what you go in with or call with. Especially straights and flushes getting beat by full houses. There should be a law against this.

I'm a solid card-room and online player. I typically grind between $200-$800 a week in card rooms playing low limit ($1/$2 NLHE, $4/8 O8) and am always careful about managing my losing sessions. I started playing on Bovada a year ago - depositing very small amounts each time. I would typically deposit $20-30, play in 3-5 low buy-in tourneys. Every single time I notice the same patterns over and over again.
1. Short stacks never come back. They always lose flips. I'm not exaggerating here. I've never been on a table where a short-stack shoves and survives an all-in, regardless of what cards are shown.
2. I usually get active on chat, to see which players might be bots and who's live. Inevitably the silent chairs make these insane, out-of-position calls with very questionable hands and win.
3. 4 months ago, I noticed something slightly "glitchy" with my software. I only noticed it on the Omaha games, where I would get dealt 4 cards slightly lowered from my icon, then all 4 would get adjusted up, slightly, as if there was something wrong with the graphics. But in instances where this happened, I would get amazing hands that would always lose.

I'm continuing to post small deposits onto the site and play in tournaments specifically to hunt down other patterns I notice are either suspicious or outright wrong. Documenting as much of it as I can, but still trying to have fun in the process. I suspect that there are a small number of live players on this site who have figured out some of these patterns and have learned how to play around them in order to stay successful on the site, but that's not something I can prove.

If you're a casual fish player and wanna play fun tourneys while getting drunk at home this is the site for you. You probably don't care if hands are rigged or if live players are cheating you on a cash table. If you're a regular grinder like me, and you play for fun and for expected profit, this is not the site for you.

i fuking hate these [censored]s... shi ts so rigged I've won 5 live tourneys at commerce with a bad beat once in awhile but on bovada the bigger the favorite you are the more you will lose. i mean i simply don't understand, when I'm way ahead i lose, and when I'm way behind i lose. I was playing zone and had ak and i raised and i got flatted by 1 other person. the flop comes out KK5 and i cbet the flop about half and the guy folds and shows me Kt lol. ok so i guess this is just the greatest player in the world. you call a raise with Kt and flop trips just to fold. absolutely baffling. not to mention the countless river flushes and straights.

wow, i thought i was going crazy. I am a pro player and make money in card rooms every day. But,
for some reason, i can't win on this site. The beats I take are INSANE. Over half of the time every
player gets their money in good, they lose. I have tried many single table tournaments and have
been way, way ahead in chips and often lose. I watch good hands get cracked over and over again
by mediocre hands. I will never try again, but it would be nice to stay at home so I have tried a few times.
so funny that the government doesnt care about rigged sites, they just focus their energy on other
sites. US gov't is lame!

Like so many have said here, i am also a winning player. I started out playing $4 180's on Pokerstars so i have seen my share of bad play and bad beats, but over couple thousand 180's i turned a decent profit. But what i have seen on Bovada goes beyond the normal variance and bad beats. Something is not right at this site, beware!

I completely agree and have to resurrect this. I STRONGLY got the feeling that they had their own employee sitting in on these games. It would be extremely easy as you can't even see the players you are playing against. I noticed this after I had amazing hands and got beat by 4 7's, straight flushes, etc. I became very weary and then decided to search Google. Sites like this should have investigations to see where these players IPs are coming from. I strongly suspect Bovada puts their own employees in there who can see the draw and your hands along with their hands. Just on the way certain bets were being placed. Highly suspicious.

I've been playing bovada for a couple years now. The first month i was playing I deposited $25 and by the end of the month had cashed out around $500. After this I didn't play for another 8 months or so because of my past experiences after withdrawing from sites, usually results in new deposits getting taken from you quickly.
Anyway, after the 8 months was up I began playing again. The time I played just happened to be on Christmas and New Years, I didnt play the site the few days in between the two holidays, and I could not lose with any hand whatsoever and was getting dealt high pocket pairs consistently. Believe it or not I cashed out about $1400 in winnings from just those two days alone.
That brings me here now. Its been exactly 13 months since I played the site and cashed out the $1400. The last few days I have deposited around $75 and I have lost with pocket Aces, Kings, Jacks 23 TIMES IN A ROW!(I kept track on purpose thinking this was going to happen) much like everyone has explained. Didn't matter how I played the cards it was pretty obvious what was going on. I'm down to six dollars and am going to just play $1.00 + .10 single table sit and go as much as possible to try and build some money up again but I doubt it will work. THIS SITE IS A COMPLETE JOKE, MUCH WORSE THAN POKER STARS OR FULL TILT EVER WAS BEFORE THEY WERE BANNED IN THE USA. That is my two cents and its coming from a solid poker player with extensive experience. Screw you Bovada! Not that it even matters but i usually only play tourney's worth $3, $5, $7, and $10.

Here is what I experienced. After depositing, I win like crazy. I flop sets at a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio...but a LOT get beat on the river by crazy draws. However...several still do stand. Once I win 5x my deposit amount I'll withdraw back down to my deposit amount. It's at that point where every hand I play that goes to a showdown I lose. Any big pot...there is a sick $uckout. After my initial deposit is gone...I redeposit. Then the cycle starts over. The key is the withdraw at the right time. Consider your remaining funds lost...then redeposit. But there is definitely something going on. When you raise 3x or 4x with AA and get calls from 36o, get a blank flop, bet the pot or push all-in, he calls, and the turn and river are 3-6 and you lose to 2 pair.

Bovada is the most rigged poker site of them all. The site mods can switch your account to win or lose real time. Trust me I know. I mark rigged hands when I have big pairs with my raise amount before the flop when they are manipulating the cards so I lose. The government is obviously on the take. That's why they let Bovada operate in the US unrregulated without allowing more trusted US sites such as Borgata be open to all states. The government corruption is the reason pokerstars never returned US players their account balances after black friday. They stole a few thousand just from players around me. If the money is still on pokerstars it is not their money to earn interests on from many million US players balances. And pokerstars is the industry's flagship site. So what's that say about most poker sites? The fbi raided Bodog a few years back. Bovada's old owner Calvin Ayer was listed on Ice top ten most wanted for money laundering and wire fraud. The fbi recently removed him from that list without giving reason..

Couldn't agree more with previous posters. Listen to this beauty: I was up about 1, 200 and I had a pending withdrawal. Like an idiot I wanted to play more so I cancelled my withdrawal. I then go to the 5 10 No Limit and sit down for a grand. The first hand literally, I get dealt Ace Queen. I am on the button so I raise and get a caller. The Flop comes King Jack 10 rainbow. I flop the Broadway straight. Big blind bets 100, I raised to 400, he goes all in another roughly 500. I have the nuts so of course I call. He turns over pocket tens so he has a set. Turn comes another king so he gets his Full House. Now in hold'em this is entirely possible, I get that, except that on Bovada it happens 5 times an hour. You don't find it fishy that the very first hand after I cancel a withdrawal I'm dealt the nuts and turned a disaster? That sounds like a great way to guarantee that I get all the money that I wanted to withdraw in and lose it. This has happened so many times and to be honest I'm such a tight aggressive player that I know when I can lose it happens but within limits. On Bovada there are so many flushes and full houses it's so unrealistic. I'm never giving them another dime.

They are so rigged against good tight aggressive players. In an hour you'll get five times the flushes as usual. FLUSHES HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE AN HOUR IN REAL HOLD EM. If you win, take your withdrawal and NEVER cancel it. If you cancel it and play, they'll deal you aces give someone else 10s and land his 3rd 10 on the river. IT IS A SCAM. Never giving them another dime.

@bb34 HAS IT RIGHT just like me I cashed a smaller tourney then you get bad luck for a while no big deal.
At a certain point when so many bad beats and yes ofcourse you might catch a river here and there and I know crazy stuff happens live. BUT I got hit with quads twice today. KK vs AA guy flops 2 Aces. THEN I have 99 guy has KK flops KK, and I hit RUNNER RUNNER 9s. regardless... Live game I have had this happen. (I hit quads later a guy hit higher quads over my quads 4 hands later...) NOW the that should not happen twice in a day. BUT another example I'm in the zone in Jaguars get AA guy to my left has KK, third guy calls both of us on every street with 10, 9 conveniently hits the river for 2 pair its not that its not possible live it just happens 6/10 times when they are the dog and its just enough for you to keep playing and believe it and they KNOW that they probably tweaked the formula just right for their PRIVATE RNG with ANONYMOUS players I HATE this site (I want to switch to ACR but who knows if that will eventually become shady and its smaller. I know this happens live yes but how maybe turns and rivers improve these guys is really at least 50% like everyone is saying when you know they should only improve 20% and they do SO much. All this being said I don't know if there's bots it seems like there is when they have nothing and make insane call for their tourney life with 2 cards that can save them but that hits and your set hits 1/30 times when should be 1/12. The one tourney I won I just HAPPENED to win every coin flip I needed to and I can get far now but always a suck out when you get close (ive been on here for a while) A friend is actually up a decent amount from the SnGs and he hit a tourney and sitting on 4k BUT he knows not to cash out because he would run like ### for 2 months... -so if you can stand the 2 month bad runs that I get then by all means keep playing the zone and (only play AA and KK and AK you might win a bit but you WONT cash in the long run) its ACTION all the way. THEIR RNG is rigged and I know it and they recently 'tested' it and my buddy doesn't believe me cuz he's up a bit but I know what will happen. DESTROY them in MLB sports whatever you can. NOT ZONE- NOT CASH- NOT CASINO! and I they know I'm gonna cash right out so they flag you. the already told me they flagged me in chat for cussing ! -so somehow they are watching when theres NO way to report anyone else (because its anonymous) ... if you cash out that's great... But theres some players that should be and they get d***ed and some players that are running too good and the think they are amazing and they go to the casino and ship it and get DESTROYED. TAKE THESE GUYS DOWN! JUST LIKE BEN AFFLECK IN RUNNER RUNNER THAT P.O.S.

I'm beginning to agree that Bovada poker is rigged. Not necessarily bots, but it really seems that you can go on abnormal streaks where you are losing a much more significant number of hands than you should be. I've done very well playing live tournaments and have even won several tournaments including some ones on Bovada, however, the crazy dog ### streaks that just happen to occur right after depositing seems to be quite odd. The more I deposit, the more I lose, playing at the top of my game which again, has won me several live and online tournaments.

I definitely agree with you 110%! I was sick and tired of losing to quads. I play PLO-Pot Limit Omaha and one player got quads twice in 3 hands! I was winning then later you lose it all back constantly. If that happens to me, it happens to everyone. They entice you to come back for more but eventually you will never win. New players always win then later they change it and let other new players win and you lose eventually. They don't care but only for themselves to get as much as rake money from the pots. Please trust us when we say, don't play at Bovada or any online casinos or poker. Betting on sports is fine. Bovada poker has only color buttons and cash table no 2 colors ever sit together but in tournaments there are few same colors!? WTF!? Bovada do cheat and they are dishonest. They are not legit by any means! Stay away!

I have had the same suspicions about bovada poker being rigged as well. However, out of the fear of sounding like just another fish complaining about bad beats, I always kept it to myself. However, my gut feelings are usually right when they’re this strong and won’t go away. So recently I started doing extensive research about this to see what experts and poker players were feeling about it. I’m excited to say that after reading thousands of reviews and comments, I’d guesstimate that about 95% of all reviews and comments have the same general feel, that Bovada poker is somehow rigged possibly in many different ways. Many of the comments I’ve read are from even professional poker players who even provided their stats and credentials. They all seem to say the same thing. They are regular consistent winners at live poker yet none of them seem to be able to win on bovada. That’s enough right there to raise suspicion for me. Let me state for the record that I am NOT a professional poker player and don’t claim to even be very good at poker. I just enjoy the game and the competition. That being said, there is NO DOUBT that I have way more success at live poker by a landslide compared to on bovada. I have witnessed the most incredible things/bad beats consistently on bovada. I tried to explain them away with just typical bad beats which do happen in poker and it’s part of the game. However, the frequency of how often it seems to happen on bovada seem to defy all odds and mathematics associated with poker. Yes you see way more hands per hour online. I get it. But the frequency in which these borderline miraculous beats occur are suspicious and shady at best and corrupt and intentional at worst. I’m starting to think that if bovada is in fact running a huge scam on poker, they actually rely on hiding it behind the “they’re just typical bad beats that occur in poker and it’s part of the game” smokescreen. But once the frequency of these “bad beats” gets to a certain level where it literally defies the odds and mathematics involved in poker, and you have tons of PROFESSIONAL poker players testifying to witnessing it themselves, it may be time for the general public and the entire poker community to start to be concerned, and rightfully so. It’s not like there isn’t precedent as far as online poker scams and frauds go. I believe that if they are in fact running a scam they are also relying on people being afraid to just sound like sore losers by complaining. I think they are well aware and it’s all by design if they are in fact running a scam.

Th se comments bring me hope that something may actually happen finally and bovada will be at minimum investigated by the proper authorities finally about all this. Report your experiences to your local FBI field office. I did and gave them a general tip about bovada potentially running a huge scam on poker players especially US based players. There seems to be hundreds if not thousands of players reporting the same experiences about bovada poker. There is without a doubt strength in numbers in situations like this. Do not be afraid or intimidated to tell your story. Brush fires lead to forest fires proverbially of course in these situations. The more people who speak up, the more people they will inspire to do the same.

Like I said, Many of the comments I’ve read are coming from professional poker players who consistently win at live poker who all say they can’t win on bovada and the things that happen during poker on bovada literally defy all the odds and mathematics. Something is very fishy without a doubt about bovada poker but if nobody takes action and reports it to the proper authorities nothing will be done. I think the fear and concern most players have is not wanting to sound like they’re just a losing poker player complaining about bad beats. But I think bovada actually knows this and relies on it if they are in fact running a huge scam. If bovada is in fact running a huge scam they’re simply masking it to look that way strategically because they know that most people will not want to look stupid reporting it and have it just look like sour grapes.

If they’re in fact running a scam we are talking about billions of billions and billions of dollars they are literally stealing from regular every day hard working people. Literally it’s straight up highway robbery. And like I said before, It’s not like there isn’t precedent here considering all the scams and frauds that occurred back before Black Friday when online poker was shut down in the United States. Bovada also operates without a license I believe and it’s totally offshore. Them running a scam is completely within the realm of possibilities. Don’t let them intimidate you into thinking you’re crazy for believing it’s possible. Hope this helped.

100% rigged. I'm not crying saying the site is singling me out to get me, but I do firmly believe the outcomes are rigged for drama/action. I started logging my pre-flop all in outcomes because it was getting ridiculous. The last 8 times in a row that I got pair vs pair all in pre-flop I was ahead (had an overpair) 7 of the 8 times. For 7 of those times, my opponent rivered his three-outer to beat me. Always on the river, never flop or turn. The 8th time I flopped a set and my opponent proceeded to river his set again. So 8 times in a row (the last 8 hands I've ever played on bovada to date lol) I got rivered by a three-outer to lose the hand. The probability of that for those curious is 1 in 16.7 billion, so I guess I should play the lottery now. Do yourself a favor and either get it all in bad with plans to suckout on the river or stay off the site.

this site is killing me, i won a tournament second day , now my cards turn to [censored], and i just wanted what i won so they only let me have half,so they could screw me for the half i couldnt get out. now i know my cards dont just shut down and now i cant even play on a fair tables anymore because i dont want to watch them play, they have to screw players by hiding players, so i took out my winnings but surprise its under review, they already put my cards in a whammy, definately crooked

If anyone ever recalls a couple years back when a “bonus” was accidentally awarded to players then taken away? Usually super users get things like this to beat you in the long shot. Coupled with false real players and bots makes it more interesting

Brovada poker tournaments are a rigged program I have proof. I spent the last 3 days playing different buy ins from $10-100. Got knocked out in everyone of them before the money even with multiple rebuys with the best hand all in on the bubble. I did have the best hand the ones that best me flop or hit anywhere from two pair to full house's. Not one time was it even close these are miracle all in knock outs. Why because if it was one or two tournaments this happened in at that stage I could let it go but in at least 20 tournaments I played in it happened in every one. I even played a live tournament and never saw anything close to what happened to me on brovada. This is not a rant because I played in a total of 50 tournaments in the last two weeks with the exact same bust outs. Even when I had a large chip stack they crushed me before the bubble when I had the best hands. Win rate on all tournaments making the money was 1 out of 50 best hand lost every time except win I made the money went on tilt and won my way into the money going all in with the worse hand 5 times in a row and that was in a tourney I rebuy 5 times. Still lose. Only on line I played so far that holds any weight is the wsop during the world series. Thought Brovada would be different since they been around so long. Nope and they can go [censored] themselves with the other corrupt sites. I'm staying with live poker where I have a great record. Been on and off with on line since 2005 and it's never changed. These sites are corrupt along with cheaters. Save your money go live where you can see everything.

I don't care about all the negative feedback from this post. I been around a long time with these sites they are a joke.
