Bovada is a legal online betting site that operates in several states across the United States. Bovada is licensed and registered with the Nevada Gaming Commission, and it is also licensed and registered with the state of Illinois.
As such, users in both states are allowed to place bets on sports events and other sporting events. Bovada also offers a variety of other betting options, including horse racing, English Premier League soccer, NBA basketball, and NHL hockey.
Despite being a legal site, Bovada has been criticized for operating in a number of states that have lAWS that are unfavorable to online gambling. For example, in Illinois, Bovada is not allowed to offer real money betting. This means that users in Illinois are limited to placing bets on games that have virtual currency as their prize. In Nevada, Bovada is only allowed to offer wagers on sports events that are taking place in Nevada or are being simulcast from another jurisdiction.
This means that users in other states cannot place bets on games that take place at Bovada. Finally, in New Jersey, Bovada is not allowed to offer real money betting at all. As such, users in New Jersey are limited to placing bets on games where the virtual currency can only be used to purchase tickets or merchandise related to the game being played.
