The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Wednesday approved a consent agreement presented by the Office of Enforcement Counsel, resulting in a US$100,000 fine to BetMGM,
The board agreed that BetMGM failed to have sufficient procedures to prevent fraudulent behavior on its BetMGM and Borgata wagering platforms. This includes insufficient know-your-customer protocols that allow for the creation, access and use of multiple accounts by people using personal identifying information of other people, and the funding of those accounts using stolen or fraudulently obtained payment devices.
Operated for about 25 months until January 2024 with 1,567 accounts created using personal identifying information of other people and US$229,580 of combined wagering.
