REGISTRATION HELP

Account Help When You Need It

If anything stalls during sign-up — a form error, an email that never arrived, or a verification flag — these are the channels to reach us. We cover registration questions specifically, so you're not wading through general casino FAQs to fix an account issue.

Live Chat Open the chat widget from any page during the sign-up flow. It connects you to an account specialist who can check your registration status in real time.
Email Support For document upload questions or identity review follow-ups, email is the right channel. Expect a response that references your specific account, not a generic reply.
Help Center Articles The account help section covers the verification process step by step, including what documents are accepted and how to re-send your confirmation code.
YOUR ACCOUNT SECURITY

How We Protect Your Registration Data

Account security starts at the registration form, not after you first log in. Every piece of personal data you enter — name, address, payment details — travels over encrypted connections and is stored under access controls that limit who on our side can read it. Here are the four specific practices that matter most.

SSL Encryption on Every Form All data you type into the registration form — including your SSN digits and payment authorization — is encrypted in transit via SSL before it ever reaches our servers.
Identity Verification at Sign-Up We confirm your identity at registration, not later, so your account can't be used under someone else's details. Document uploads use a secure, one-time link.
State-Eligible Access Control Account creation is available only where state law permits. Our sign-up flow checks eligibility automatically and blocks registration from unsupported states.
Data Access Limits Your personal and payment data is stored under role-based access controls. Only the teams that need it for account servicing or regulatory compliance can view it.

What to Expect When You Register

The sign-up form asks for your name, email address, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number — standard identity verification required under state gaming regulations. Once you submit, you may be prompted to confirm your email with a one-time code before your account activates. After that, head straight to

the wallet section to connect your preferred payment method. PayPal and Venmo link through their standard OAuth flow, so you authorize barstoolwagers without handing over your credentials. Play+ works as a prepaid card you load separately and enter at checkout. If any step flags for manual review, our account support team follows up by email.

Keep your government-issued ID nearby in case the system requests a document upload to complete verification.

  • Identity Verification Built In State gaming rules require ID confirmation at sign-up. The form collects standard details; a document upload may follow if the automated check needs a second look.
  • Email Confirmation Step A one-time code lands in your inbox after you submit the form. Enter it to activate your account before you can access the lobby or wallet.
  • Wallet Connected at Activation Link PayPal or Venmo via their secure authorization screen right after account activation. Play+ can be added as a prepaid card number in the same wallet section.
  • Support on Hand for Review Flags If your registration hits a manual review queue, our account team reaches out by email with clear next steps. You won't be left guessing.

Local Payment Methods We Accept

Connecting a payment method is the last step before you can browse the lobby. We built the wallet around the payment rails Americans already use — no wire transfers, no obscure e-wallets. Pick whichever fits your habit and the funds move through a channel you already know how to manage.

PayPal

Authorize barstoolwagers inside your PayPal account once, and deposits move without re-entering card details. Withdrawals route back to the same PayPal balance.

Venmo

If Venmo is already on your phone, adding it to your account wallet takes seconds. Send and receive funds through the same app you use every day.

Play+

Load a Play+ prepaid card to a balance you control, then enter the card number in your wallet. Useful when you want to keep gaming funds separate from your checking account.

Common Questions About Creating an Account

These are the questions we hear most from people working through the registration flow. If yours isn't here, live chat is the fastest path to an answer specific to your account.

Account creation is available in states where online casino and sportsbook activity is permitted under local law. The sign-up flow checks your location automatically and will notify you if your state is not currently eligible.

State gaming regulations require identity verification at sign-up. We collect the last four digits to confirm your identity. A full SSN may be requested if the automated check needs additional confirmation.

After email confirmation, open the wallet section and select PayPal or Venmo. You'll be redirected to authorize barstoolwagers through each platform's own secure login — we never store your credentials.

Check your spam or promotions folder first. If it's not there, use the resend option on the confirmation screen or contact live chat with your registered email address and we'll push a fresh code.

Yes. Load a Play+ prepaid card to your chosen balance, then enter the card number in the wallet section after activation. It works like any prepaid card and keeps gaming funds separate from your bank account.

If your registration goes to manual review, our account team sends an email outlining exactly what's needed. Having a government-issued ID ready — driver's license or passport — speeds the process considerably.
