Important Reminders:

  • Always double check the cryptocurrency you are sending before making the transfer as they are NOT interchangeable (Ex. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are not the same currency). Sending one type of cryptocurrency to a different cryptocurrency's address will result in a loss of funds.
  • If you’re not using the QR code, ensure the generated address is copied exactly as shown. An incorrect address may result in loss of funds.  
  • Please note that Ethereum (ETH) is only accepted on ERC-20 Network. Sending other cryptocurrencies to this address will result in loss of funds.
  • Bovada does not charge any fees for deposits made with BTC, BSV, BCH, ETH, USDT or LTC however, you may see marginal fees charged by the wallet provider. These fees are typically under $1.00USD. 
  • When depositing with BTC, BSV, BCH, ETH, USDT or LTC, we require one confirmation on the Blockchain prior to posting the funds to your account; If the funds aren't posted after one confirmation, the transaction will need a minimum of 6 confirmations for it to be posted to your account - on average this can take approximately 15 minutes, however it could take longer when the network congestion is high. For faster cryptocurrency transactions we suggest Bitcoin SV and Litecoin.
  • Please ensure you are ONLY sending Tether (USDT ERC-20) to the wallet address provided on the cashier page for USD Tether deposits. Sending Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin SV (BSV), Ethereum (ETH) or Litecoin (LTC) to that address will result in a loss of funds.
  • USD Tether (USDT) and Ethereum (ETH) are ONLY accepted on the Main Ethereum network; sending funds to any other networks, such as Base Network, Polygon Network, Arbitrum Network, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Network or Optimism (OP) Network, will result in irreversible loss of funds
  • All deposits must be wagered completely before any winnings can be withdrawn. By not meeting this requirement, your withdrawal may be subject to cancelation at the discretion of our Withdrawals Team and return of funds to your account balance.
