Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On January 18, 2023, Bally's Corporation (the "Company") announced a restructuring plan (the "Plan") of the Interactive business intended to reduce operating costs and continue the Company's commitment to achieving profitable operations in its North American Interactive segment. The Plan includes a reduction of the Company's current Interactive workforce by up to 15 percent. Decisions regarding the elimination of positions are subject to local law and consultation requirements in certain countries, as well as the Company's business needs.

The Company estimates that it will incur between approximately $10 million to $15 million in cash severance costs in connection with the Plan, which the Company expects to incur in the first quarter of 2023.

The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Plan.

A letter to the Company's employees from Lee Fenton, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, regarding the employee restructuring under the Plan is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference.
