Bovada.lv Review

Bovada.lv Overview

Screenshots

Bovada.lv is a the rebranded version of Bodog that only targets the American market.  Bodog has been in the industry for a long time and has built a great reputation, which can be applied when thinking about Bovada.  It’s really a great bookie that American residents should include in their sportsbook portfolio.

College Basketball Betting Options

Let’s get right down to it.  We are a college basketball betting site so we are interested in the college basketball bets available at Bovada.lv.  As mentioned earlier Bovada.lv only accepts Americans and this translates perfectly into Bovada being a solid choice for college basketball bettors.

Bovada offers point spread, over/under and money line odds for every college hoops game throughout the season.  One knock I do have is that the lines aren’t available very early.  You will often have to wait until game day to place your college basketball bets at Bovada.

That said they do offer some great college basketball player and team props for the higher profile games.  You will also find live betting for the nationally televised games.

College Basketball Promotions

Bovada is known for their March Madness Bracket Buster Contest as well.  Last year the Grand Prize was $10,000 and even down to 250th earned $50.  The only stipulation for entering the bracket was that you had to be a Bovada member.  Now that’s not too shabby.  I expect more of the same this year.

Bonuses

Anyone who signs up through one of the links found here will be entitled to a sign up bonus worth 50% of your initial deposit up to $250.

The bonus is awarded in the form of a free bet and will be added to your account and ready for betting within 30 minutes of your first deposit.  The free bets must be used within 30 days of your first deposit and there are rollover requirements on any free bet winnings.  The bonus amount plus your first deposit must be rolled over three times before you can withdraw.  If you withdraw before this your free bet will be forfeit and any money you won wagering the free bet will also be lost.

Banking Options

I’m not going to lie.  It is difficult for Americans to get money into an online sportsbook.  That being said Bovada has got it figured out better than any other bookie that accepts Americans.  You will have to send in photocopies of some personal documents, but then you should easily be able to deposit via Visa or Rapid Transfer.  Withdrawals are just as easy and can be requested via Rapid Transfer or check.  Rapid Transfer withdrawals must be between $100 and $800, while check withdrawals must be for more than $3000.

Customer Service

Bovada has great customer service.  The representatives are very helpful and can be reached 24 hours a day by phone or email.  If you have any questions or concerns whatsoever do not hesitate to contact them.

Other Options

This is a college basketball site, but that doesn’t mean you might not want to bet on some other sports from time to time.  Bovada has a wide selection of sports you can bet on and as mentioned before the sportsbook is tailored towards the American bettor.  Visit Bovada.lv to see what kind of bets you can place.

And if you get bored of placing wagers you can use your same account at the Bovada poker or casino tables!
