2016
On Easy Allies Podcast #11 - June 1, 2016, Jones and Ben made a bet on whether or not a new Battletoads would be announced during E3 2016. Ben lost the bet and was forced to stream the NES game, Battletoads until he either beat the third level or streamed for four hours.
In the Fall of 2016, Huber and Blood made a bet on the Easy Allies Podcast on whether you would be able to walk into a store and purchase an NES Classic by the end of the year. Blood was convinced that Nintendo would have ample supply for the holiday season and had to photograph an NES Classic on a store shelf as proof. Blood was not able to find an NES Classic in stores, resulting in him having to stream the NES game, Kung Fu for one hour.
A side bet was also made between Huber and Kyle on the Easy Allies Podcast on if a Nintendo Switch release date would be announced in 2016. Huber bet no, resulting in him having to stream a full playthrough of Dead Space 3. Brad provided support by accompanying him in the first stream, but Huber was forced to finish the rest of the streams alone.
2017
Around the beginning of 2017, Huber and Kyle placed a bet after Nintendo announced they were ceasing production of the NES Classic. Kyle believed Nintendo would not make any more Classic consoles while Huber believed some sort of follow-up would reveal itself. Nintendo later announced the SNES Classic, forcing Kyle to stream Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for no more or less than 20 minutes. He delivered on the Punished Bet on November 27, 2017.
Sometime around August 2017, Huber and Kyle made a bet on whether or not Sonic Forces would include microtransactions. Huber believed there would be due to all of the character customization and lost the bet. The Punished Bet was finally delivered on August 18, 2018, during Easy Livin' 2018.

During the Summer Game Fest 2022 coverage, there was a lot of hype among the Allies about a possible Dragon's Dogma 2 announcement. After Capcom failed to announce the game during their direct, Huber and Isla made a bet on whether or not it would show up during the upcoming "10 Years of Dragon's Dogma" event. Isla didn't believe it would be announced and subsequently lost the bet. As punishment, she has to purchase Dragon's Dogma 2 on all platforms including Google Stadia and additionally has to stream Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.
On August 2, 2022, Easy Allies held a special "Punished Bets" edition of Group Stream Night to settle a list of outstanding completed bets that were awaiting punishments.
On November 29, 2022, MinnMax founder Ben Hanson hosted a special MinnMax vs. Easy Allies community episode of their trivia game show “Trivia Tower” with special co-host Isla Hinck. They set betting stakes for the community member on the winning team. If MinnMax won, then the Allies would have to all sing “MinnMax is good” during the opening of Love & Respect in the next episode of the Easy Allies Podcast. If Easy Allies won, then Ben Hanson would have to do a live-action recreation of the first mansion scene from the original Resident Evil 1 with the voiceover direction as his inspiration. EZA community member Bynoe won Trivia Tower, resulting in Ben Hanson having to deliver on the punished bet.
Kyle returned as a special guest on the Easy Allies Podcast for The Game Awards on December 8, 2022. Following the announcement of Armored Core VI, Kyle bet with Damiani that it would have a higher OpenCritic score than The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Jones came in last place in the 2023 league and has to do a high-effort cosplay of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake and stream the game for at least two hours on the Easy Allies channel.
In Easy Allies Podcast Ep. 406, Huber made a bet with the rest of the panel on the next Mario Kart game not releasing in 2024. Blood, Isla, Damiani, and Don were all confident in the game coming out this year with the Switch 2 rumors. If the game is announced for release in 2024, Huber will come to The Studio the next time after the announcement dressed as Wario.
Starting with the 2024 season, Blood added additional stakes to the Easy Allies Podcast bets. Rewards are given to the winner of the season along with punishments for the losers.
