Step 2: Contact Live Chat
- Visit bovada.lv
- Click live chat (bottom right corner)
- Use this script:
"I need to permanently delete my Bovada account. This is not temporary suspension - I want the account completely removed. I have withdrawn all funds. Please escalate to a supervisor who can process deletions."

Self-exclude from Bovada
Self-exclusion available through customer service contact with verification required.
Choose the period that matches the protection you want. If the options are unclear, ask the platform to confirm the start date, end date, and whether the period can be changed.
What self-exclusion actually does (and doesn't)
It is designed to block play for the period you choose. Whether it covers new sign-ups or can be changed early depends on the operator and jurisdiction; follow the platform-specific details above.
Do not assume self-exclusion deletes account data, stops every message, or covers other sites; exact scope varies. Consider account closure, mailbox controls, and a blocking tool as additional layers.
Stop Bovada emails
Email unsubscribe requires contacting customer service directly.
You can also use your mailbox's search, filter, and bulk-delete controls. Review the privacy terms and current price before granting any third-party cleanup tool access to your inbox.
Frequently asked questions
Can I reopen my Bovada account after deleting it?
Some platforms may reactivate a closed account after a support review. A self-exclusion is designed to block play for its selected period, but the exact rules depend on the operator and jurisdiction.
How long does Bovada account deletion take?
The steps on your side are estimated at 30-60 minutes. The platform may not publish a processing time, so keep a copy of your request and follow up through its official support channel if needed.
What happens to the money in my account?
Check the platform's current balance rules. Withdraw first when permitted, and ask official support how any remaining balance will be handled.
Will marketing emails stop once the account is closed?
Request marketing removal explicitly in your account-closure request and follow the "Stop Bovada emails" section on this page.
