Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are gathering BetMGM users to take action against the company over a data breach that occurred between May and November 2022.
It’s believed that BetMGM, whose online casino and sports betting platforms include BetMGM.com, Borgata Online, PartyCasino and PartyPoker, may have failed to put adequate data security measures in place to keep user info safe from a potential hack.
The exposed information may have included customers’ names, contact information, dates of birth, hashed Social Security numbers, account details (such as player IDs and screen names) and certain transaction details.
If you received a data breach notice from BetMGM, fill out this quick, secure form to join others taking action. Your claim could be worth as much as $200.
BetMGM Data Breach: User Info Hacked
BetMGM began notifying customers in late December 2022 that hackers had stolen their personal information, including particularly sensitive data such as names, dates of birth and hashed Social Security numbers.
It’s been reported that the hack affected over 1.5 million consumers and that the stolen information is already being sold online.
One lawsuit filed against BetMGM in the wake of the breach claims the company’s failure to encrypt sensitive user data has put data breach victims at risk of identity theft and fraud.
What Am I Signing Up For?
You’re signing up to participate in “mass arbitration,” a legal action that involves hundreds or thousands of consumers filing individual arbitration claims against the same company at the same time. It’s different from a class action lawsuit.
BetMGM’s terms of service require users to resolve their disputes through arbitration, an alternative dispute resolution method that, unlike a lawsuit, takes place outside of court before a third-party arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. For this reason, some attorneys have decided to pursue mass arbitration against BetMGM.
How Much Does This Cost?
It costs nothing to sign up. The attorneys handling the mass arbitration will be paid a percentage of your award only if they recover money on your behalf. If they don’t win, you won’t need to pay.
What Could I Get?
There are no guarantees that the attorneys will win your claim, but data breach victims who participate in the mass arbitration may be entitled to as much as $200.
