When troubleshooting issues with the ESPN BET Illinois promo not working, consider these steps: First, ensure you've opted into the promotion as this is a mandatory action. If you haven’t opted in before placing your wager, your bet will not qualify for the promotion.
Next, confirm your wager meets the $10+ cash wager requirement on eligible games or markets during the promotional period. It’s also crucial that your bet is funded with your cash wallet balance since bets not funded this way or settled as “Cash Out” or “Voided” are ineligible.
If you've met all conditions but still encounter issues, reach out to ESPN BET customer support at [email protected] for further assistance.
What is ESPN Bet?
ESPN Bet is the new skin representing PENN Entertainment’s betting platform. The new branding replaced the Barstool Sportsbook label, meaning Barstool will no longer have any presence in the sports betting industry.
Instead, ESPN is the front-facing brand while PENN is operating the sportsbook behind the scenes. This new branding is the result of a 10-year, $2 billion partnership between PENN and ESPN which was announced in August 2023.
PENN also positioned itself to acquire 50% of any money from future sales of Barstool, as well as requiring non-compete clauses keeping the latter from re-entering the sports betting sphere. ESPN’s on-air talent will be heavily involved in the promotion of the sportsbook, and ESPN will be the network’s exclusive betting platform.
While this move has fallen under scrutiny given ESPN’s unparalleled access to teams and players and the potential to provide information to the betting platform before the news is available to the public, it’s important to remember that PENN will be the company operating the betting site and app, not ESPN.
