Directly from Bovada regarding shutting down accounts based out of the state of New York:

We needed to make the difficult decision to stop offering our services to residents of New York as of June 21st. Decisions of this nature are made on a state-by-state basis and with consideration of several factors; the most critical being the future climate for online gambling in the state of New York.

The newly introduced regulation and its increased restrictions on our players residing in NY has ultimately led us to this difficult decision.

We will be answering any questions you have and providing updates as frequently as possible in this topic category.

Here’s what you need to know:

Your Play and Rewards Points

Until June 21st, you’re free to continue playing with any remaining funds, bonuses or Poker Tournament Tickets; however, you should avoid placing wagers on events that will settle after June 21st (Ex. MLB - World Series winner) as these will be voided and your risk amount returned;

Any pending wagers on events or sports that will only start after June 21st (Ex. NFL Props and Futures) will be voided within 24 hours;
Settlement for events or seasons that are already in progress but will finish after June 21st will take place closer to the closure date, further details will be provided;
Unredeemed rewards points have been converted to a cash bonus (Standard rollover applies), available now for use;
As of today, you will not be able to earn or redeem further Rewards Points.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Withdraw anytime, we’ve got several new cryptocurrency methods to choose from, note that existing wagering conditions will still apply;
As of today you will not be able to make additional deposits. This includes buy requests in the Marketplace.
