      The casino app states instant withdraw of funds. I gambled and wanted to cash out $2700. Its been three days of asking what is happening. They keep saying it will be resolved as soon as possible and than they end the conversation. Today the suspended my account and the only response I get is someone will reach out to me. My username is Noochie45. And the last conversation had a request #*******.

      Over the last month, as part of VIP, I was receiving deposit matches on my account. Randomly without any notice after spending a large amount of money, I was told that they could suddenly not match ***********. There was never any indication of an end date for this deposit match and at the very least a notice should have been made that after X date the match would stop, so I could adjust my playing accordingly. Instead I played expecting a match and for the company to randomly stop after I spent the money is kind of disturbing.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      The response from the company acknowledged my complaint and simply repeated what I had already stated. They made no attempt to fix the issue. I already know that the customer rep said I did not qualify for the deposit match. The issue is that up until a random point in time I was being eligible for the matches.  Then they randomly stop after spending a large amount of money over a couple days is the issue. The rep who issued the last deposit match should have stated, this is the last time we can match so that I would have adjusted my play. It's dishonest that the rep would have known this and waited until I spent more money before telling me of this change.

      I deposited $3,000 into my account on the Barstool Sportsbook app and around a week later, I tried withdrawing $495 from my account. Barstool then suspended my account because I did not make enough bets before attempting to withdraw the money, despite the fact that I have collectively lost over $1,000 on their sportsbook. In order to reinstate my account, the Barstool team wanted me to acknowledge that I understand their policies, to which I responded with my acknowledgement and also followed up several times thereafter. The customer service team stopped responding to me and never reinstated my account despite my numerous messages and accusations of what appears like theft to me. I tried disputed the $3,000 of charges with my credit card company, but Barstool fought the dispute requests. I would like my $3,000 returned to me or I will need to file a complaint with the Virginia Lottery Gaming ************************************* since I believe Barstool's actions to be considered fraud.

      Barstool sportsbook. I deposited $1000 and won several bets. I was able to withdrawl $1200 with no issues. I kept winning some more bets up to about $3000 in winnings and tried to withdraw again. They locked my account saying i needed to verify (which was done when signing up)??? I sent in a selfie with my DL and a photo of my debit card. Yesterday they asked for a photo of my debit card again. I only get boiler plate answers on the chat. the have no phone number....email is useless. I guess this is my fault not researching them before signing up. The are countless others in the same situation as me.

      I received three offers in my MyChoice app for 4 free Nights at ********** Las Vegas, $500 upfront Free Slot Play, $700 in Dining Credit, & 2 Free Show Tickets, for the months of Sept, Oct, & Nov.  As such, my guests and I booked non-refundable flights from St. Louis & Dallas to Las Vegas based on those offers. I happened to look at my app and saw those offers were no longer listed. I did not receive any communication from Penn Gaming. I called and am now being told those offers have been rescinded. I do realize that offers can be removed at any time. However, I cannot imagine that it is Penn Gamings business practice to rescind offers that have already been booked. This is not acceptable, as the offers are the ONLY reason my guests and I have spent close to $2k to come back to LV in Sept & Oct.  I have spoken to several people who keep telling me I need to send an email to someone else. I have gotten no response to those emails and there is no telephone number to the corporate office, who I am told is the office who rescinded the offer and has the authority to make this right. I kindly request the $500 Slot Play and $700 be added back to my account for each trip have already booked, or we be compensated for the flights we have purchased. I can provide receipts for each of the 6 round-trip flights. I can be reached at ************ for questions.

      Please allow this letter to acknowledge receipt of the response from the complainant in the above referenced matter filed with your office. 
      ****** reached out stating that some of her offers were no longer showing up including a hotel  stay. A review was done of her account and there has not been an offer offered by  ***************.com. Most offers were free slot play between five and fifteen dollars. The  offers may have been exclusively given by a Penn Entertainment casino property, in which  ****** would have to reach out and see if there was a way to get the offers again. 

      Respectfully Submitted,

      [To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]



       Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:  The complaint was clearly against ********* Las Vegas.  I have since used my September offer.  However, I still have October and November offers for ********* Las Vegas that I have booked.  As long as I have no issues with those, I will be fine with closing this complaint when I return from my November trip.
