Does Bovada offer the same rules and the same odds for player and banker bets as Las Vegas Casinos. Also, I would greatly appreciate feedback from members regarding good or bad experiences with payouts, etc.

it is impossible to chase bitcoin transactions, unless you use one of the main exchanges and have an account that forces you to link personal information (like coinbase), if you have an anonymous wallet, there is no way to trace it....

Not quite: As a customer of XYZ casino, I set up an account: They request my name and address and various proofs of ID. When I withdraw my winnings by bitcoin I generate and tell them the address to send it to. They now have a bitcoin address associated with me. At any time, they, or 'the authorities' can examine that and any other bitcoin wallet addresses and see money coming and going. Every transaction is logged, forever. If the casino have told the authorities of the link between that bitcoin address and me as a person, then I'm open to forensic investigation of at least some of my transactions. The whole BITCOIN ledger is wide open to very deep analysis. ...Once some organisation provides the connection to a real person ID. This applies even if you buy and use a hardware wallet such as a Trezor.
It's totally anonymous in it's own right until you say to the casino 'I'm Joe Bloggs, you can see from my account that I won $$$$. Please send my winnings to bitcoin address ...'

It's much less anonymous if you entrust an exchange like Coinbase with your bitcoins. They log everything anyway and have it all tied intractably to you as a person. It only takes for them to spill the beans to the tax authorities.
Beware. The earth is NOT flat. Hit and run is not a winning strategy: Pressing into trends IS not a winning strategy: Progressives are not a winning strategy: Don't Buy It! .Don't even take it for free.

Your safest bet is declaring all wins and losses on your taxes.

If casinos don't allow ACH transfers it should be a red flag because that means they are not state sanctioned.

The complaint I have about Bovada
is, the live feed on bac hasn't worked
in weeks. I can see the live wheel on
roulette, but not on bac. At other
casinos that use the same feed,
it's not visible there either.
It does not suck to be me.

Ron44, here's my honest take of Bovada. They're not perfect, but there's no better casino serving most of the U.S.

on your site you say the following:

"Outright cheating (rigged games) is pretty rare,"

What evidence do you have to support that?
