Where is the class action lawsuit against Bally's?

I called to cancel our membership after our two year contract was up and was informed that despite our documentation that said it was a 2 year contract, it was actually a three year contract because we elected to get an additional 10% off for our third year renewal price. They said it would be over $700 to cancel plus an additional cancelation fee.

This is a very clear case of their published code of conduct, published on http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=97646&p=irol-govConduct, Section III, Common forms of Criminal Conduct, D & F, that state that the "falsification of any part of a sales document" and "the deliberate offering of false information to members, prospective members, co-workers, or supervisors;". While this is supposed to lead to termination of the employee, I do not blame any specific employee for this mess. This is a blatantly illegal, immoral, and corrupt practice by a corporation. I am extremely surprised that a class action lawsuit has not been filed. There is a clear case of a certain class of people being interested and willing to stop Bally’s.

Hi,



Were you told that you would be obligated to continue for 3-years in order to get the additional 10% discount?
