Bovada Review

Down below, you will read about the different features and offers, including the Bovada sign-up bonus. We encourage you to read this post about the bookmaker.

About the Licence of the Bovada

Bovada is licensed by the Gaming Commission in Kahnawake. You can find the certificate at and how to contact the KGC at certificates.gamingcommission.ca.

Betting Markets

Next in our Review, we will discuss a few of Bovada’s features. We begin with markets and sports. You can see all sports that are available at Bovada by checking out the left hand of the site. Here all the sports you can currently bet on: Rugby Union, Rugby League, Motor Sports, E-Sports, Snooker, Boxing, Cricket, Baseball, Golf, Football, Horse Racing Futures and Props, Entertainment, Handball, Volleyball, Cycling, Darts, Aussie Rules, Politics, UFC/MMA, Football, American Football, Tennis, and Hockey. Some sports have a plethora of markets, while others offer only a few.

In-Play and Live Streaming with Bovada

Live betting is decently represented on the Bovada site. There are a few sports that you can bet in-play as of the time of creating this review: football, basketball, tennis, hockey, and cricket. When you choose a sport and an event, you can see the markets available to bet on, plus the odds. Backing a team or a player will appear on your betting slip. When you select an amount you would like to risk, you will be able to see your potential winnings in the field next to “To Win” or in the section “Total Win”. When there is a change in odds, you will be notified with a message appearing atop of the betting slip; e.g. “Odds have increased/decreased from X to Y.”

Banking Options

Next, we will talk about banking options provided by the bookmaker. Truth be told, there are not many options and this is an area that they need to improve in the future. Currently, they offer depositing and withdrawing with credit cards like MasterCard, VISA and VISA Gift. They also offer Bitcoin as a payment method. Unfortunately, these are all the options available for making monetary transactions.

Promotions at Bovada

Now, we will focus on the ongoing promotions at Bovada. Take a look.

Bovada Sign Up Bonus Bundle

There are a few signup offers at Bovada. One of them is credited to casino players; another is rewarded to sportsbook users; and finally an exclusive Bitcoin bonus awaits all new members who deposit with Bitcoin. We will now talk about the sportsbook welcome offer. You can redeem it by depositing some funds into your account after you open an account. You will instantly receive a 50% bonus, which you can use in Sports, Casino and Horses. This promotion gives you the opportunity to win up to $250. It only applies on the first deposit. If you want to cash out the bonus, you must turn it over 5 times in Sports, 30 times in Casino, and 5 times in Horses. Additional terms and conditions apply. Check them out at Bovada. When it comes to the Bitcoin welcome offer, you need to make your first deposit with Bitcoin and then enter one of two bonus codes. Since this review focuses entirely on the bookmaker, we will only talk about the sports part of the bonus. The Bovada bonus code you need to enter is BVSBITCOIN50. Once you hit that button, you will instantly receive a 50% bonus, which gives you the opportunity to win up to $500. Please note that you will be credited only one 50% match-up bonus, i.e. you cannot redeem one offer for the casino and one offer for the sportsbook. Make sure that you check out the terms and conditions attached to this offer.

Refer-a-Friend-Bonus

Bovada rewards members who refer their friends to the site with a special promotion. Learn more about it in our Review for Bovada right away. Every time you spread the word about the operator and a friend of yours creates an account and makes their first deposit, you will be eligible for a $40 bonus or more depending on how much your friends deposit into their accounts. To get started, simply send your friends a referral link to the site, and if they join and transfer funds into their newly-opened accounts, you can redeem the promotion. Refer to the site for the full terms and conditions.

Explanation of the Grade

Bovada presents an overall good bookie. There are quick load times. The design is sleek and stylish. There is grey in every part of the site. The majority of links are in white, whereas some highlights are in different colours. Since Bovada is oriented towards the UK market, it makes sense that the odds are displayed in moneyline format. You can change that into decimal or fractional format if you wish. And that’s all there is to say about Bovada. Give it a try to see whether it aligns with your interests.
