Up until last week, the only crypto-currency accepted by Bovada has been Bitcoin. They have now added support for another cryptocurrency called Bcash or Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash supporters claim that this new crypto has lower fees and faster confirmation times. Anyone hodling bitcoin at the beginning of August also owns the same amount of Bitcoin Cash following the fork. Most wallets like Breadwallet, Trezor, Ledger and GreenAddress allow you to easily claim your free Bcash/Bitcoin Cash coins. Coinbase and Blockchain.info will be allowing their customers to withdraw their Bitcoin Cash coins at the beginning of January 2017.
WARNING
If you decide that you want to use BitcoinCash instead of bitcoin, be aware that you will need to use a different wallet. For example, if you buy Bitcoin Cash at an exchange and send it to your Breadwallet then the money will be lost forever. Bitcoin Cash is a completely separate crypto currency to bitcoin in the same way that Litecoin, Monero or Ethereum are.
