There are several reasons why you may have trouble placing a bet after depositing. Review the troubleshooting steps below:

Have you opted into a promotion?

Important note: If you’ve opted into a Casino Deposit Bonus your recently deposited funds may be tied up in a Casino promotion. 

  • If you are signed up for a promotion, find out whether the promotion is for Casino or Sportsbook.
