The Community Rewards Partner Program is designed to enhance the connection between Bally’s Chicago Casino and local businesses across Chicago. This initiative applies to the casino’s current Medinah Temple location and its future permanent facility. Participating businesses will showcase Bally’s Community Rewards Partner materials in-store, while Bally’s Chicago Casino will actively promote these valued partners.
