HELP!! Bovada account hacked

[tigers22]

So I have had a Bovada account for years and only play sports. I placed a bet yesterday and then went to my account this am and it had been wiped out(except for the bet I made yesterday). I went to my trasactions and it a transfer was made to Ignitions Casino. (I guess an affiliate of Bovada). Has this happened to anyone??? I am so pissed. I called and they said they will look into it. Called Ignitions they said it has been drained. I never signed up with them!!!


Thanks for any thoughts

Actually, stick to better online books like The Greek, DSI, Pinnacle, etc.

ignition is bovada's new skin... weird they would auto transfer your account over. Ignition same platform as bovada, should be able to place bets on there as you were doing similarly on bovada.

In USA. Too much trouble to go through to open an account. I have 4 outs here, all with good limits. I would never to back to offshore!

Thegreek btw never paid me about $3500 a few years back. Got tired of their BS and runarounds, acct was gone after 3 months...

Sorry to hear that tigers22. Any idea how it happened, maybe a weak password?

You might want to scan your PC with Malwarebytes, they have a free version you can get below.

Your experience of not getting paid may be an isolated incident. I have a Greek account and they've always paid me quickly and in full.

Anyway, glad you have 4 "locals." ^!:

Suprised to hear you were hacked. I think Bovada is excellent and has a great platform. Never had a problem with them at all

I believe this is correct - -I don't think OP was hacked.
I think Bovada is separating their sports section from their poker section - probably due to gambling legislation and such.

If there is a transaction of a transfer on your account then it is most likely someone logged into you account and made the transfer...meaning they got your password via malware or a keystroke logger. If that was the case then I doubt you will get your money back.

My online book does not allow sportsbook to sportsbook money transfers. If you have a sportsbook that allows such transfers I would inquire about turning this off. Nothing good is gonna come out of having such a feature.
