Cash Games FAQ

Is Bovada Cash Games legal in California?

Yes. Bovada is a legally licensed offshore online poker site that accepts players aged 21 and over from California and many other US states. As the site operates outside US jurisdiction, you can play legally from California.

What does 'Anonymous Tables' mean?

At anonymous tables, your username is hidden and replaced by a seat number. This prevents other players from tracking your long-term statistics and exploiting your weaknesses, leading to softer games and a more level playing field for all players.

Can I play on my phone or tablet?

Absolutely. Bovada Cash Games are fully optimized for mobile devices. You can play directly in your web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) without downloading a dedicated app. The experience is fast, responsive, and secure.

Are the games mostly Texas Hold'em or Omaha?

Texas Hold'em remains the most popular game, especially at lower stakes, offering the highest volume of tables. However, Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) traffic is consistently high, particularly during peak hours, and you will always find games running for both formats.
