Welcome Bonus

Bovada is rolling out multiple welcome bonus options for new players, including fiat and crypto matches that can reach four figures. Current highlights include a 100% match up to $1,000 with code "NEWWELCOME" or "CAWELCOME100" for some region-specific deposits, a 100% poker welcome up to $500 with code "PWB500," and a range of crypto-first deals that top out at $3,750 across three deposits with code "BTCCWB1250." For sports bettors using crypto, there’s a 75% match up to $750 under code "BTCSWB750."

These offers are useful if you plan to play casino games, poker, or place bets at the sportsbook, but they come with playthrough rules and game eligibility limits you should read before claiming.

How the crypto welcome compares to cash offers

Bovada’s crypto bonuses are more generous on paper. The crypto package often gives 125% match amounts and can apply to the first three crypto deposits, while the standard USD welcome typically matches 100% on a single deposit up to $1,000. Crypto bonus codes to watch for include "BTCCWB1250" and "BTCCW1250" variants used at different stages.

Keep in mind that crypto bonuses still carry wagering requirements and minimum deposit thresholds, so a larger match doesn’t always mean easier cashouts. Crypto deposits usually clear faster and are often preferred by players who want quicker access to bonus funds.

The fine print you must know

Bovada applies a 25x wagering requirement on most first-deposit casino and crypto welcome bonuses, calculated on the deposit plus bonus amount. Reloads can carry higher playthrough, sometimes 50x. The crypto sports welcome has distinct playthroughs: 5x for Sports, 5x for Horses, and 30x if you convert bonus funds to Casino play. Minimum deposits for most welcome offers start at $20, and bonuses must be manually claimed with the correct code during your deposit.

Not every game counts equally toward playthrough. Bovada excludes Craps and Live Dealer games from contribution, and contribution rates can vary by game type. Bonuses are non-sticky, meaning your deposit and bonus are tracked separately; you can withdraw winnings from your deposit without meeting wagering requirements if you haven’t used the bonus funds. Also note restrictions on mixing no-deposit bonuses with deposits, and one bonus generally applies per household, IP, device, and payment instrument.

Claiming a welcome offer — quick steps and smart moves

To claim a welcome bonus, log in, choose your deposit method, enter the proper bonus code at deposit, and confirm the offer. Double-check the minimum deposit and whether the bonus applies to your selected currency or crypto. If you plan to play slots, try games from Bovada’s approved providers, since those titles usually contribute well to wagering. For example, try a featured slot like Wild Diamond Miner Slots to see how game features and bet sizes affect playthrough.

Avoid chasing wagering with high-risk patterns, and don’t try to manipulate contribution rules; Bovada monitors for bonus abuse and may restrict or close accounts that attempt to exploit promotions.

Accepted payments and where to get help fast

Bovada accepts a wide mix of payment options, including Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Tether (USDT), Visa, American Express, Zelle, bank wire transfer, NetSpend, Rapid Transfer, and courier cheque among others. Currencies supported include USD and crypto, with crypto deposits often qualifying for the higher-match promotions.

If you have a question about a bonus or a credited offer, Bovada provides FAQ articles, live chat, and email support at service@bovada.lv, plus phone lines: General Support 1-888-263-0000 and Casino 1-866-234-1324.

What to watch for before you bet

Read the bonus terms and timeline carefully; wagering requirements must be met before approved withdrawal requests. Pay attention to which games contribute and any maximum bet limits while a bonus is active. Bonuses are designed to add value, not guarantee profit, so treat them as extra play credits that require planning to convert to withdrawable funds.

If you’re unsure about how a specific code applies to your deposit or which games count, contact support or check Bovada’s FAQ before you claim. This helps avoid surprises and keeps your account in good standing as you use the welcome funds.
