BoVegas

Those in search of a Realtime Gaming casino offering a fabulous selection of games and exciting promotions will want to take a look at BoVegas. While this site’s name bears a passing resemblance to the familiar “Bovada,” there is no relation between the two. BoVegas is owned by a different company and is an entirely unrelated site. Let’s take a look at what they have to offer.

Is BoVegas Legit?

The following section was written a while ago with the idea that we would update the information in this section as we got it. While this is an all-new update, however, you will see that this has not changed. Bovegas is still tight-lipped about their company info and whether or not they have an actual license.

Now, with all of that said, nothing else has changed either! That is to say, we’ve still been using them and know of others that have been using them, all of us with no problems to report as well as getting paid when we win!

BoVegas isn’t the most transparent website when it comes to background. If you visit the Terms and Conditions page hoping to find the company name, you won’t. The site is simply referenced as “BoVegas.”

In this area, however, I can clear up a little confusion from my research.

There were some rumors (rather negative ones) that BoVegas is owned and operated by a company called Blue Media N.V. This however does not appear to be the case. While this rumor does not seem to be floating around much more, there may be some that still believe it. But, it’s still just that. Rumors.

According to a customer service representative at the site, Bovegas “is operated by SKYLINE MEDIA N.V., a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Curacao.”

When I asked about licensing and regulation, I was somewhat frustratingly told, “All the details including the license may be found in our Terms and Conditions on our website.”

This still hasn’t changed. Rather frustrating, but as stated, it’s been how long now(?) and there are still no problems to report.

Can You Play at BoVegas From the USA?

Yes, absolutely! BoVegas has very few geographical restrictions. The only prohibited countries are Costa Rica, Ukraine, Israel, and Belarus.

BoVegas Bonuses and Promotions

Promotions offered by BoVegas can be separated into three categories: Welcome Bonuses, Daily Rewards, and the VIP Campaign.

To give you a taste of the types of bonuses you can enjoy, here is what is on offer as of the time of this writing in each category.

Welcome Bonuses

Over at BoVegas you can get a Welcome Bonus worth up to $5,550.

You can get this by first using the code BOVEGAS250 which is good for a 250% Slots Bonus followed by the code BOVEGAS300 which will get you a 300% Slots Bonus.

• The minimum deposit is $25
• Wagering will get you a match bonus, Slots have a 30x playthrough
• Restricted countries: Israel, Russian Federation, Poland, India, Ukraine, Belarus, Malaysia and Costa Rica

Daily Rewards

There was a time when you could go to BoVegas and take a look at some Daily Promotions. These are limited-time promotions that were only good for that day and would change daily.

These special promos just aren’t listed anymore, but if you choose to head over to BoVegas and join up with them, make sure that you keep taking a look at the promos page to see if they ever come back.

VIP Campaign

This is the VIP program offered by BoVegas. Tiers include:

• Play Knight – Level 1 VIP
• Royal Elite – Level 2 VIP
• Imperial Pro – Level 3 VIP
• Vegas Legend – Top VIP Level

The higher your tier, the more exciting rewards you can get. At the lowest level (Play Knight), you receive a $75 Status Recognition Chip and are awarded comp points as you play as well as 15% cash-back every week. A personal manager is assigned to your account, and you are given a $50 bonus to celebrate your birthday. When new games come out, you can qualify for special match bonuses when you play them.

At the highest tier (Vegas Legend), you are given a $1,000 Luxurious Status Reward Chip. Along with higher cash-back and table limits, you get some cool added benefits like 10% insurance, High Roller Rewards, and invitations to exclusive slot tournaments.

For match bonuses, there is a rollover requirement which may range from 30-60x, depending on the types of games the bonus is for. There are specific terms and conditions for each type of bonus offered by the casino (no-deposit bonuses, free spins, etc.), so you should read through them with care before accepting promotional offers.

Software and Games at BoVegas

Bored with regular Casino Games? Try your luck at some good old fashioned ‘scratchers’.

There are two ways to play at BoVegas: online through your web browser, or by downloading the casino software. You can only download software to play on a Windows or Android device (laptop, PC or mobile). If you are on a different operating system, you can still play, but you will have to use the web interface.

You are probably familiar with Realtime Gaming (RTG), in which case you know that you are in for a great experience when you play these games. The selection on BoVegas includes:

• Dozens of slot machines
• Baccarat
• Blackjack
• Craps
• Roulette
• Poker
• Video poker
• Pai Gow
• Red Dog
• Keno
• Bingo
• …and more

You’ll find plenty here to keep you entertained for endless hours. And if you’re lucky, hopefully, you’ll win a few jackpots along the way.

How to Deposit and Withdraw on BoVegas

Here are the deposit methods you can use on BoVegas:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Amex
• Bitcoin
• Instant Gift Card

For the three credit card options, the minimum deposit amount is just $25 and the maximum is $1,000. For bitcoin, the minimum is still $25, but the maximum is capped at $5000. If there is a minimum or a maximum on the instant cards, we honestly don’t know what it is, it’s not listed on their site.

Here is how you can withdraw from BoVegas:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Bank Wire

The minimum amount you can withdraw is $100. I prefer more flexibility in this regard, but this is not unexpected with online casinos. The maximum amount is also capped at $2,000. In some situations, that may be a bit restrictive as well. You can only request a single payout per week.

In terms of processing time, the site takes care of payments during weekdays only and generally takes 3-7 days to do so. So you should plan ahead to make sure that you get your funds when you need them.

What about fees?

There was a time when Bovegas bragged about being fee-free. According to their site now under the “Withdraw” menu, there is some fine print which reads, “The payout amount and processing fee (if applicable) will be debited immediately from your customer account.” Now, that’s all it says, nothing about how much those fees are.

As of fairly recently, I have personally made a withdrawal from Bovegas and I was not charged a fee. I made my withdrawal with bitcoin, YMMV.

Like many other casinos online, BoVegas has an identity verification process which is required if you want to make a withdrawal. So remember to take care of that after you register. That way you will be all ready to go when you make your first withdrawal.

BoVegas Customer Service

To get in contact with the 24/7 customer service team, you can call any of several regional phone numbers or you can open a live chat. I chose to use live chat to test out the team.

You already pretty much have the gist of my experience, which I mentioned earlier when I talked about finding out about the company’s background. An agent greeted me promptly and answered most of my questions quickly.

The only question that she actually got stuck on was the one regarding the identity of the company operating the site. She took a few minutes to get back to me on that one and didn’t seem to know the answer regarding regulation.

Could she have done better? Maybe. It would have been nice to learn the regulatory status for certain. But I did get the impression she tried hard to find me an answer, so when she referred me to email the company for a more in-depth response, she probably was doing the best she could.

Plus, I was very happy she got me the company name, especially considering that a lot of other gamblers online seem to be ignorant of it. Overall, I was satisfied.

How to Get Started Playing Online at BoVegas

Final Thoughts on BoVegas

So, we’ve been working with them and using them personally for a little while now. I would still say the single biggest drawback with this website is the lack of regulatory information available. A little more transparency would be welcome, but after all of this time, that’s still the only real negative thing we have to say about them.

In the big picture, I am pleased with the fee-free withdrawals (this may or may not be true anymore, see above under “What about fees?” if you haven’t already), the selection of games available, the customer service, and the VIP program and promotions. So, yeah, I am still giving them my recommendation. Want to give them a try? Click on “Play Now” on this page to sign up!
