Fevola, 30, who is battling addictions to alcohol and gambling, reportedly was with former controversial AFL figure Ben Cousins at Crown on Sunday night.
Casino officials immediately turned Fevola away after he tried to enter the gaming floor.
Fevola had earlier dined at a casino restaurant and had accommodation booked in the complex.
It is the second time in a month the dual Coleman Medal winner has been denied access to the casino's gaming facilities.
A Crown spokesman said Fevola had been told he was not welcome to gamble anywhere in the casino, but could not confirm that Cousins, a recovering drug addict, was with Fevola.
"A few weeks ago we saw Mr Fevola on the gaming floor and at the time he was told that it wasn't in his best interests or own interest for him to be in the casino," the spokesman said.
"We were aware he had been undergoing treatment for a gambling problem.
"We told him he wasn't welcome back. We thought he got the message . . . so we explained to him again (on Sunday) that the earlier message stood.
"As far as I am aware, he took it well and there was no kerfuffle and he left."
It is the latest in a series of gambling incidents involving the former Carlton and Brisbane star, who was spotted playing poker machines at the Berwick Inn last week. He later claimed his gambling addictions were related to horses only, saying: "It's my life, I can f---ing do whatever I want."
Fevola is attempting to revive his football career with the Casey Scorpions after he was sacked by Brisbane.
He was in a Brisbane rehabilitation centre earlier this year for treatment for gambling and alcohol addictions. He revealed in a television interview he also had attempted suicide as he hit rock bottom during the darkest stages of his depression.
