Pros and Cons
Pros
- Bovada is popular for its poker games
- A wide selection of games opens the doors to all kinds of bets
- A solid set of welcome bonuses encompasses almost all games (only excluding races, which is handled via the racebook rebates)
- The poker bonuses reward greatly when taking part in a bad beat or getting a royal flush
Cons
- Both deposits and payouts are only available through a couple of different methods, cutting down on the choice when it comes to both depositing and withdrawing funds. A somewhat hefty cost for deposits using credit card and withdrawals using rapid transfers also adds a ding to what could otherwise be a great profit taking
- While there are multiple varieties, they mostly focus on table games
