Sign Up

Getting started with Bovada is quick, and the sign-up moment is where you lock in the bonuses that make your first spins and bets more rewarding. This update walks you through the steps, the welcome offers and codes, payment choices — including crypto — and the wagering rules you need to know before you hit “deposit.”

Fast sign-up steps: get playing in minutes

Create an account with your email and a secure password, verify your address or ID if prompted, and open the deposit page. Minimum deposits start at $20 for bonus eligibility, and most welcome offers require entering a promo code at checkout. Once you enter a valid code and fund your account, bonus funds are typically credited instantly so you can start playing without delay. If you prefer, head straight to the sign-up page to begin.

Pick the welcome bonus that fits your play style

Bovada packages multiple welcome paths depending on how you want to play:

• USD Casino Welcome: three 100% match bonuses up to $1,000 each, maxing out at $3,000 total — use CAWELCOME100 for the first deposit, with follow-up codes BV2NDCWB for later deposits.
• Crypto Casino Welcome: three 125% match bonuses up to $1,250 each, totaling up to $3,750 — use BTCCWB1250 on deposit one, then BTC2NDCWB on later deposits.
• Crypto Sports Bonus: 75% up to $750 with code BTCSWB750.
• USD Sports Bonus: 50% up to $250 (automatic).
• Poker Welcome: 100% up to $500 with code PWB500.

All deposit match bonuses listed above carry a 25x wagering requirement on the deposit plus bonus, and most exclude craps and live dealer games. Always enter the correct code when depositing to ensure activation.

How wagering works — what to expect

Most casino welcome bonuses use a 25x playthrough applied to the combined deposit and bonus. Bovada applies real cash balance before bonus funds, and bonus credits are usually added right after code redemption and deposit. You cannot withdraw bonus funds or bonus-derived winnings until wagering requirements are met, and attempting to cash out early can void the bonus. Keep in mind wagering contributions vary by game type: slots count 100%, poker counts 20%, classic blackjack, blackjack, video poker, and baccarat count 10%, and roulette counts 5%. Craps and live dealer games typically do not qualify.

Banking options: crypto speed and traditional choices

Bovada supports a wide range of payment methods, from major credit cards to bank transfers and a strong crypto lineup. Popular options include Visa, American Express, bank wire transfer, Zelle, Rapid Transfer, and vouchers, plus cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Tether. Crypto deposits often unlock the larger match percentages and move faster for withdrawals. Note special cashout rules: some no-deposit bonuses under $100 cap maximum cashout at $125, while larger no-deposit bonuses cap cashouts at 1x the bonus. Crypto withdrawal limits vary by coin — for example, Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin Cash have differing per-withdrawal caps — and one crypto withdrawal may be permitted every 15 minutes. Always check the withdrawal limits for your chosen currency before requesting a payout.

Games that count toward wagering — choose wisely

If you plan to clear bonus requirements quickly, focus on slots — they contribute 100% toward wagering. Avoid using excluded games like live dealer tables and craps when betting bonus money. Want game ideas? Try casual classics like Reels & Wheels Slots for a simple, single-payline experience, or go for a feature-rich video slot like Shanghai Lights Slots to take advantage of free spins and bonus rounds.

Support, security, and responsible play

Bovada provides multiple support options if you need help during sign-up or later: an on-site FAQ, live chat, email at service@bovada.lv, and phone support (General Support: 1-888-263-0000, Casino: 1-866-234-1324). Your account is protected by standard security measures, and support can help verify documents, resolve deposit issues, or explain bonus terms. Play within your limits, use tools like deposit caps and time-outs if you need them, and never wager money you can’t afford to lose.

Quick sign-up tips: read the full bonus terms before depositing, use crypto for faster processing and larger match percentages, enter promo codes exactly as shown, and track game-level bonus contributions so you meet wagering requirements efficiently. When you’re ready, sign up, claim a welcome offer, and play responsibly — the account setup is the simplest part of getting into the action.
