Anyone know what this is in regards to?

HARRISBURG- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board at its public monthly meeting this week approved a consent agreement presented by the Board’s Office of Enforcement Counsel resulting in a $100,000 fine to BetMGM, LLC.

In its approval of the consent agreement, 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 allows for the creation, access and use of multiple accounts by individuals using personal identifying information of other individuals and the funding of those accounts using stolen or fraudulently obtained payment devices.

 

The consent agreement identified four individual fraud rings that:

  1. operated for approximately 25 months until January 2024 with 1,567 accounts created using personal identifying information of other individuals and $229,580 of combined wagering;
  2. operated for approximately 34 months until November 2024 with 34 accounts created using personal identifying information of other individuals and over $14,598 of combined wagering;
  3. operated for approximately 29 months until November 2023 with 119 accounts created using personal identifying information of other individuals and $895,092 of combined wagering
  4. operated for approximately 19 months until December 2023 with 304 accounts created using personal identifying information of other individuals and $867,910 of combined wagering

Copies of the approved Consent Agreement for this matter containing additional details is available upon request through the Board’s Office of Communications.
