Peer-to-Peer Scams: How to Protect Yourself

What is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Payment Scam?

A P2P payment scam occurs when a fraudster tricks players into sending funds to an unauthorized account or divulging sensitive account information. These scams can involve impersonating Bovada representatives or providing false payment instructions.

How to Spot Common Scams

Scammers may attempt to:

• Impersonate Bovada staff, asking you to cancel your withdrawal and send funds to a specific username.
• Request your account credentials, such as your password or security information.

How to Protect Yourself

• Bovada will never ask for your password or account credentials.
• We will never request that you transfer funds to a specific player username.
• Verify that any communication claiming to be from Bovada originates from our official channels.
• Contact Customer Support if you are unsure about a payment request.

What to Do If You Encounter a Scam

If you believe you've been targeted or suspect fraudulent activity:

1. Stop all communication with the suspected scammer.
2. Do not share any personal information or transfer funds.
3. Report the incident immediately to Bovada’s Customer Support team.

Stay Safe and Secure

Always exercise caution when managing your funds. By staying informed and vigilant, you can help protect yourself and others from fraudulent schemes.
