We put trust and clarity front and center: clear payment choices, industry-standard protections, and responsive support so you can focus on playing, not paperwork.

Speed, limits, and fees — clear details up front
We keep timelines and limits straightforward. Exact amounts and processing windows depend on the method, account verification, and third-party processors.
Deposit times
- Cryptocurrencies: typically near-instant after required blockchain confirmations, often credited within minutes to a few hours.
- Card and voucher methods: usually instant to a few hours after processing.
- Bank wire and Rapid Transfer: 1–3 business days, depending on the bank.
Withdrawal timeframes
- Cryptocurrencies: fastest option, often processed within 24–48 hours after approval.
- Bank wire and courier cheque: can take 3–10 business days once approved.
- Other methods: timing varies; the cashier will show estimated wait times.
Minimums, maximums, and fees
- Minimum deposit: many promotions and bonuses require at least $20; some methods may allow lower amounts.
- Maximums: limits vary by method and verification level; large withdrawals may require additional KYC and may be subject to cashout caps tied to promotions.
- Fees: most deposits at Bovada are free, but third-party processors or banks may charge fees. Withdrawals may incur service or courier fees for certain methods; any fees will be disclosed during checkout.
Always check the cashier for method-specific limits and fees before confirming a transaction.
Security: practical steps that protect your cash and data
Bovada uses standard industry protections to keep your information safe:
- SSL/TLS encryption secures data between your device and our servers, so login and payment details are protected.
- Secure servers and firewall protection prevent unauthorized access.
- Payment card and processor partners follow PCI-compliant practices for card data.
- For crypto, wallets and transfers use blockchain confirmations and secure key management.
- Account verification (KYC) and transaction monitoring help prevent fraud and speed up future payouts.
We explain security measures in plain language so you know what “encryption,” “verification,” and “confirmations” mean for your experience and protection.
