I rarely post warnings, but I feel it's important to share what happened with Bally’s Bet so others can make informed decisions before diving in. I signed up for their Bet $25, Get $150 promo last week in Indiana. Everything seemed fine at first, and after the promo period, my account balance was sitting at $3,348—a surprising win! Unfortunately, things took a sharp turn when I tried to withdraw.
Here’s where it gets troubling. I deposited via Apple Pay originally, but when I went to withdraw, there was no Apple Pay option for withdrawals. Fine, I thought—I tried adding one of my debit cards (including the one linked to my Apple Pay deposit) to withdraw instead. Every time I did, I was met with error messages saying they couldn’t confirm my details. Then, I tried the ACH method, and all THREE of my bank accounts were rejected for the same reason. It was hours of frustrating back-and-forth.
Finally, I deposited an additional $10 using my brother’s and my connected online banking account. This worked, and I immediately withdrew the full $3,348. Bally’s sent an email confirming the withdrawal would be approved within 24-48 hours. But after 48 hours, nothing.
When I reached out to support, they said it was out of their hands and being handled by the operations department—who, apparently, can’t be contacted by the support team. By day four, I was back in the chat, more frustrated but still getting the same runaround. Then, the bomb dropped: I woke up to an email saying my account was suspended due to a “flagged deposit.”
Now, Bally’s is asking for:
- Bank statements from my Apple Wallet (which only saves 10 transactions).
- Pictures of both the front and back of the cards I’ve used on their platform.
- My ID again.
- PDF statements from my banks.
To make matters worse, my first deposit was with a virtual Cash App card, which doesn’t have a physical card to show. How am I supposed to fulfill that request?
This whole process has felt predatory. I can’t shake the thought that if I’d lost my bonus bets and the $10 deposit, they wouldn’t have suspended my account. It’s hard not to see this as a pattern: allow people to lose without trouble, but if they win, suddenly every withdrawal gets flagged or delayed.
I’d love to believe Bally’s takes account security seriously, but this feels like a smokescreen. If they’re willing to freeze accounts over vague “flagged deposits” while ignoring requests for updates on withdrawals, it seems borderline criminal.
Please, if anyone else has dealt with similar issues, I’d appreciate hearing your stories. It’s important we hold companies accountable for practices that feel unfair, or worse, predatory.
