10.6. You acknowledge the Form T5 may be issued by Us by January 31 following the year of the payment. By accepting these Agreements, You acknowledge that any winnings that You win by using the Services are subject to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulations, and You allow Your acceptance of these Agreements to serve as an electronic signature and to suffice as an acceptance and signature on any tax documents incurred during the internet gaming activity.

10.7. Your acceptance of these Agreements serves as acknowledgement that the Form T4A may be issued by Us by January 31 following the year of the receipt of a prize consisting of cash or merchandise, valued at six hundred Canadian dollars ($600) or more won by using the Services, subject to the CRA regulations.

11. DORMANT ACCOUNTS

You agree to keep Your Account name and password confidential and not to allow anyone else to use it. As an authorized player, You are prohibited from allowing any other person to access or use Your gaming account. Every person who identifies themselves by entering a correct username and password is assumed by Us to be the rightful Account holder and all transactions where the username and password have been entered correctly will be regarded as valid.

14. FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES, PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS AND FAILED DEPOSITS

14.1. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards inappropriate play and fraudulent activity. If, in Our sole determination, You are found to have cheated or attempted to defraud Us, the Affiliate Group or any other user of any of the Services in any way, including but not limited to game manipulation or payment fraud, betting on all possible outcomes of a game or event, betting on an event in which You take part, or if We suspect You of fraudulent payment, including use of stolen payment cards, or any other fraudulent activity (including, but not limited to, any chargeback or other reversal of a payment) or prohibited transaction (including, but not limited to, money laundering) or if Your deposits are failed to be honored by Your bank for any reason, We reserve the right to suspend or close Your Account and recover bad debts using whichever method may be lawfully available to Us, including, but not limited to: (a) debiting the amount owed by You from Your Account; and (b) instructing third-party collection agencies to collect the debt. This may have a detrimental impact on Your credit rating and will require Us to share Your personal information (including, without limitation, Your identity) with appropriate agencies, and to report any criminal or suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.

14.2. We reserve the right to void and withhold any or all winnings made by a person or group of persons if We have reasonable grounds to believe that said person or group of persons is acting or has acted in liaison in an attempt to defraud or damage Us, the Affiliate Group, the Services or the Platforms in any way.

14.3. In the interests of data protection, security and avoidance of fraud, We do not permit the use of any communication channels included within the Services or the Platforms (including, but not limited to, chat boards) to offer or promote any offers, products and services (whether Yours or a third party’s). You are expressly prohibited from posting information or contacting Our patrons to offer or promote any offers, products or services.

You acknowledge that BetMGM may from time-to-time issue updated or upgraded versions of the Gaming Services, and may (subject to Your device settings) automatically electronically update or upgrade the version of the Gaming Services that You are then currently using on Your mobile device/desktop. You consent to receive updates or upgrades to the Gaming Services automatically without providing further consent each time. The Gaming Services (including any updates or upgrades) may: (a) cause Your device to automatically communicate with Our servers to deliver the functionality described in the Gaming Services description, or through new features as they are introduced, and to record usage metrics; (b) affect preferences or data stored on Your device; and (c) collect personal information as set out in Our Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of confirming Your location and eligibility to use the Gaming Services.

You can withdraw Your consent to receive automatic Gaming Services updates at any time by uninstalling or ceasing to use the Gaming Services or by terminating Your Account. To terminate Your Account, contact Us via the Customer Care portal.

17. LOCATION SERVICES

17.1. Real-money gaming on the Platforms is restricted by the AGCO and iGO to users who are physically located within the Province of Ontario. To confirm Your desktop/laptop location, We use a third-party method that verifies Your IP address and WiFi signal. If one of the two is not confirmed, You will not be allowed to use the Services. To confirm Your mobile device location, We use a third-party method using Your carrier cell tower and WiFi signal. If Your mobile device location is not confirmed, You will not be allowed to use the Services. We cannot guarantee that Your device will be able to successfully use the location services. You are prohibited from using any technology that may obscure or falsify Your physical location for the purpose of placing wagers or bets. We may, at any time before or after You begin using the Services, require You to verify Your identity, age, or physical location, and We may terminate Your access to the Services if You fail to do so. If We or Our third-party providers are unable to track Your location for any reason, You may be prevented from accessing or using the Services. We are not liable for Your inability to access or use the Services. We reserve the right to declare null and void any wagers or bets that were placed in violation of Our Terms of Service, including, but not limited to, bets or wagers that were placed from a province or foreign jurisdiction outside of Ontario and bets or wagers placed by Unauthorized Persons, including, but not limited to, if We are unable to track Your location. If We are unable to track Your location, it may impact Your ability to access, claim or use certain benefits associated with the Services.

17.2. By registering to use the Services, You consent to the monitoring and recording by Us (or Our service providers) and/or by the AGCO or iGO of any wagering communications and geographic location information in connection with the Services, for the purpose of determining compliance with applicable law.

18. ERRORS

18.1. You must inform Us as soon as You become aware of any errors with respect to Your Account or any calculations with respect to any bet or wager You have placed. In the event of such error or any system failure or game error (a divergence from the normal functioning of the game logic for whatever reason) that results in an error in any odds calculation, charges, fees, rake, bonuses or payout (“Error”), We may make the Services unavailable until the Error is resolved. In the case of an Error relating to sport and event betting, making the Services unavailable may include the suspension of betting, the withholding of funds, and the refund of any bet until the Error has been resolved. We will treat You fairly when resolving any transactions or bets impacted by these Errors or faults in accordance with Our policies and procedures. We will respond to any service interruption relating to the Services in a way that does not disadvantage players, including, without limitation, by restoring the game to its pre-failure state, if possible. This may include paying You up until the time that the Error arose or returning bets to You and restoring Your Account Balance to its position prior to the start of the game where the game cannot be continued after a service interruption, whichever is the better outcome for You. We reserve the right to declare null and void any wagers or bets that were the subject of such Error and to take any money from Your Account relating to the relevant bets or wagers. If there are insufficient funds in Your Account, We may demand that You pay Us the relevant outstanding amount relating to these bets or wagers. In all circumstances whereby We (in Our sole discretion) determine an Error has been used to gain an unfair advantage, We reserve the right to consider this activity to be subject to Section 20 (Forfeiture & Account Closure) of these Terms of Service.

18.2. In the event of an Obvious Error in the placement of a wager, BetMGM reserves the right to take any and all action as set forth in its House Rules (See BetMGM House Rules for further information and for the definition of Obvious Error).

18.3. If You are incorrectly awarded any winnings for any reason, including but not limited to as a result of: (a) any human error; (b) any bug, defect or error in the Software; or (c) the failure of the relevant games product or the Software to operate in accordance with the rules of the relevant game, then We will not be liable to pay You any such winnings and You agree to refund any such winnings that may have been paid to You as a result of such error or mistake.

19. SECURITY REVIEW

To maintain a high level of security and integrity in the systems used to provide the Services, We reserve the right to conduct a security review at any time to validate Your identity, age, the registration data provided by You, to verify Your use of the Services, including but not limited to Your compliance with these Agreements and the policies of the Affiliate Group, and to review Your financial transactions carried out via the Services for potential breach of these Agreements and of applicable law (a “Security Review”). As such, You authorize Us and Our agents to make any inquiries of You and for Us to use and disclose to any third party We consider necessary to validate the information You provide to Us or should provide to Us in accordance with these Agreements, including but not limited to, verifying the information against third-party databases. In addition, to facilitate these Security Reviews, You agree to provide any information or documentation that We, in Our unfettered discretion, may request.

20. FORFEITURE & ACCOUNT CLOSURE

We reserve the right, in Our unfettered discretion and in relation to Your Account, any related ESP account (as that term is defined in Section 8), any accounts You may have with other sites, casinos or services owned or operated by or on behalf of the Affiliate Group and, in the case of Your use of the Services, any Services that share the shared game/table platform, to terminate these agreements, withhold Your Account balance, suspend Your Account, and recover from Your Account the amount of any affected pay-outs, bonuses and winnings, if:

• You are in material breach of any of these Agreements.
• We become aware that You have used or attempted to use the Services for the purposes of fraud, collusion (including in relation to charge-backs) or unlawful or improper activity.

• You have ‘charged back’ or denied any of the purchases or deposits that You made to Your Account.
• You become bankrupt or analogous proceedings occur against You anywhere in the world.

If the original method used is not available, We will ask You to provide information regarding a second account, along with documentation evidencing that You are the legal holder of the account. Upon withdrawing funds, Your own bank or other payment provider may add a further handling charge which may vary over time and for which You remain responsible.

21.3. Termination of these Agreements will not affect any outstanding wagers or bets, PROVIDED that any outstanding wagers or bets are valid and are not in breach of these Agreements in any way. Termination of these Agreements does not entitle either party to void a wager that was valid and not in breach of these Agreements at the time of placement.

21.4. The following Sections of these Terms of Service shall survive any termination of these Agreements by either party: 2, 5, 7, 8, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 36, along with any other Sections which are required for the purposes of interpretation.

23.1. We take Responsible Gaming seriously. You may suspend activity on Your Account for a period of time chosen by You, through BetMGM’s Responsible Gaming page. You may take a break (“Time-Out”) or self-exclude Yourself from Your Account for a period of time. Time-out options include one (1) day, one (1) week, two (2) months, or three (3) months. Once You opt to take a Time-Out, You will be unable to place further wagers or make any deposits during the period of that Time-Out. Self-exclusion options include terms lasting six (6) months, one (1) year, or five (5) years. Once You decide to self-exclude, You will immediately be logged out of Your Account and will be unable to log in for the duration of Your exclusion. Once You choose to be self-excluded, We will cancel all future game transactions and will return the Account balance of any unused funds in Your Account upon Your request via the deposit method originally used. In addition, once You have self-excluded, We will take steps to identify and, if required, remove You from the Platform if You are found to be in breach of the self-exclusion agreement, and will take reasonable steps to prevent any marketing materials, incentives or promotions from being sent to You for the duration of the self-exclusion period.

23.2. You have the option of setting limits on the following: (i) deposits (where the amount You deposit into Your Member Account is limited over a period of time chosen by You); (ii) loss (where the amount lost (i.e., winnings subtracted from the amount spent) is restricted); or (iii) stake (where the amount wagered is restricted over a period of time chosen by You). The duration of the limits offered include daily, weekly or monthly. If You set simultaneous periods (e.g., a deposit limit for a day and for a week), the lowest limit will apply. If You choose to eliminate or relax Your limits (i.e., increase them or make them more lenient), this update will occur following a 24-hour waiting period.

23.3. If You have elected to use the Time-Out feature or Self-Exclusion feature on any of Your Accounts, You acknowledge and agree that You will not open or use an account in any jurisdiction or with any other Affiliate Group product (Borgata, PartyPoker, PartyCasino, Wheel of Fortune, etc.) during the Time-Out or Self-Exclusion period You selected.

23.4. .If You have a pending interactive gaming wager or sports wager on an event that has not yet begun and then choose to self-exclude, Your wager will be cancelled, and Your funds will be returned via the deposit method that was originally used.

23.5. BetMGM reserves the right to temporarily or permanently exclude patrons based on communications or activities that do not align with Our responsible gaming principles. Any concerning communication or activity will be subject to review until We can confirm that a patron can continue using Our product and services responsibly. If You have a pending interactive gaming wager or sports wager on an event that has not yet begun and BetMGM imposes a mandatory operator exclusion on You, any of Your open wagers can stay open until the event is completed. If the wager ends up winning, You can request a withdrawal for those winnings. If BetMGM imposes a mandatory operator exclusion on You, and You would like to cancel the open wagers, a request can be made if the event has not yet begun.

See Our Unfair Advantage Policy for more information on Our commitment to preventing the use of unfair practices in the Services.

35.4. Shared Games, Table and Database Platform

We reserve the right, but are not obliged, to run and utilize a shared table, server and database platform or system (“Shared Game/Table Platform”) which enables Gaming Service users to play with players coming into the games, tables and tournaments from other websites, jurisdictions and brands operating on the same Shared Game/Table Platform. If a Shared Game/Table Platform is used, You agree that You may be pooled into these common game/tables, at Our sole discretion, and that to the extent that You breach the Terms of Service, or for any other reason in Our sole discretion, We may block You, in part or full, from the entire system so that You may not play through one or more sites or brands that use or are part of the Shared Game/Table Platform. Without limitation to the restriction on having multiple Accounts with Us (please see Section 4), We may require that You only have one Account on the Shared Game/Table Platform.

35.5. Play Money and Real Money Account Funding

‘Play money’ funds have no value and are kept separate from ‘real money’ funds. They are not transferable to a ‘real money’ account nor are they redeemable for any currency. We do not promise to accurately record the number of play money chips held by You, and Your play money chips may be lost at any time. Further, We reserve the right to set a maximum chip limit for play money Accounts. Please note that in the event of any conflict between this Section 35.5 and the remaining Sections of these Terms of Service, the remaining Sections of these Terms of Service shall prevail.

35.6. Settlement of In-Game Disputes

You fully accept and agree that random number generator (“RNG”) software will determine the shuffling and dealing of cards and other randomly generated events required in the Gaming Services. If there is a discrepancy between the result showing on the Software (as installed and operated on Your hardware) and Our server, the result showing on Our server shall govern the result. Moreover, You understand and agree that (without prejudice to Your other rights and remedies) Our records shall be the final authority in determining the terms of Your use of the Gaming Services, the activity resulting therefrom and the circumstances in which such activity occurred. Please note that in the event of any conflict between this Section 35.6 and the remaining Sections of these Terms of Service, the remaining Sections of these Terms of Service shall prevail.

From time to time Our website and mobile app may display game times, scores, statistics, results, and other information relating to games, matches, or events, including, without limitation, “live” scores, statistics and times displayed as part of a live-streamed event or scoreboard. All such information is unofficial, is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only, and should not be relied upon by patrons for any purpose. It is the patron’s responsibility to independently verify all such information. Neither BetMGM nor its third-party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to any such information transmitted or made available via Our website and mobile app. Neither BetMGM nor its third-party providers shall be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any such information transmitted or made available via Our website and mobile app, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information. 

36. DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

Patrons are prohibited from disclosing non-public information that may affect internet wagering or the outcome of internet wagering. In the event BetMGM discovers that a patron has disclosed non-public information that may affect internet wagering or the outcome of internet wagering, the patron will be immediately banned from placing wagers via the BetMGM Services.

PLEASE PRINT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND STORE THEM FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE. IN ADDITION, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU PRINT AND STORE ALL TRANSACTION RECEIPTS AND GAME RULES AS APPLICABLE TO YOUR ACTIVITIES.

If You have any questions, please contact Our 24/7 Customer Care Team. 

Underage Policy

Underage gambling is prohibited and any person under the age of 19 in Ontario is prohibited from Internet gaming.

BetMGM excludes persons under the age of 19 from gaming in Ontario, so We will always ask for proof of age during the registration process. We also begin an automatic identification process immediately after registration, which can require a copy of a picture ID document upon deposit or withdrawal. We take Our responsibility seriously for preventing persons under the age of 19 in Ontario from playing with Us, and in order to offer the best possible protection of such persons, We require the shared responsibility of parents. Use child protection software, such as the ‘NetNanny’ program or the ‘Cybersitter’ software from 27Labs, to block gaming sites from persons under 19.

If You know someone under the age of 19 who is registered with Us, please Contact Us immediately.

Unfair Advantage Policy

We are committed to taking all reasonable measures to prevent anything that gives a player an unfair advantage over another. To this end, We forbid all unfair practices with the goal of protecting Our patrons and the integrity of Our systems. Failure to abide by the Unfair Advantage Policy and/or other suspicious activity may result in permanent account closure, confiscation of funds, and in certain circumstances, additional actions.

Unfair Practices:

Unfair practices are any practice, including, but not limited to, the use of Bots (autonomous or command-executed programs on a computer or network that can interact with computer systems or users), AI, multiple account use or practices conducted in collaboration with other players, carried out by one or more players, with one or more accounts, which could put any other player not engaging in such activity at a competitive disadvantage, where the unfairness in such activity is due to its success being based to some extent on concealment or deception against such players. Unfair practices include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Money-dumping:

Money-dumping occurs when any player intentionally loses a poker hand to transfer their money or chips to another user. Any user who participates in or attempts to participate in money-dumping with any other player on the BetMGM poker platform is subject to discipline in a number of forms, a warning (in which the user’s account may be temporarily suspended in order to educate the player and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service), up to and including permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

2. Multiple Accounts a.k.a. Multi-Accounting:

It is prohibited for a player (whether in the player’s name or another name) to have multiple accounts for the sole purpose of playing both accounts at the same time. A player may only have a single gaming account for each BetMGM skin (i.e. BetMGM, PartyPoker, PartyCasino, Borgata, etc.). In states where multiple BetMGM skins are present, players are prohibited from playing poker on multiple skins simultaneously and from re-entering the same poker event across multiple skins with their other accounts. Any player associated with multi-accounting is subject to discipline in a number of forms, from a warning (in which the user’s account may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service), up to and including permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

3. Collusion:

Collusion is defined as two or more players sharing and using their combined knowledge to gain an advantage, with the intent to take advantage of other players at the poker table. This could include not playing Your hand as You normally would by softplaying, passing/dumping chips, hole card sharing, squeezing players out of a pot, and many more techniques than are not within the spirit of a fair game. Players may not communicate, in any form, with another player to offer an opinion related to the game or hand being played. Any kind of communication about anything related to the current poker game is considered collusion and is in violation of BetMGM’s policy. Any player associated with collusion is subject to discipline in a number of forms, from a warning (in which the user’s account may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service), up to and including permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

4. Account Sharing/Third-Party Account Usage:

Each player on the BetMGM platform is responsible for protecting their login credentials. Sharing account credentials and devices is prohibited under the Terms of Service of BetMGM. No third party (including friends and relatives) is permitted to use Your Account, access the BetMGM platform under Your name or log into their Account on Your device. Any player who believes the integrity of their BetMGM gaming account has been compromised should inform BetMGM immediately. BetMGM holds no responsibility for any actions taken by a third party who gains access to any player’s gaming account. Under no circumstances will BetMGM be liable for any losses incurred by any player as a result of mishandling of a player’s access credentials by any person. All transactions and gameplay where Your username and password have been entered correctly will be regarded as valid, whether authorized by You or not. Please note that anyone found to be sharing accounts could be subject to a number of measures, from a warning in which the user’s account may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service, up to and including permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

5. Extracting Player Profiles:

Extracting player profiles is expressly forbidden. Certain companies offer for-sale programs specifically created to extract player profiles and then sell them in the form of voluminous player databases, with the promise that anyone who purchases these programs can use this information to their advantage against other players, by invisibly gathering information about You and then selling it to others to use when they play against You online.

These programs are based on player hand histories, and they typically use the following methods: screen-scraping, reading the “Chat”, and by accessing histories directly from an individual player’s computer using the program. If a player is found to have extracted player profiles through this or other methods, they will be in breach of this provision, which will lead to permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

6. The Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):

AI is composed of autonomous or command-executed programs on a computer or network that can interact with computer systems or users, especially one designed to respond or behave like a player. BetMGM prohibits the use of AI on its platform and across its skins. All player actions taken on the BetMGM platform must be player-generated without assistance. BetMGM reserves the right to withhold funds of, and deny services to, any person using a prohibited tool or service. If a player is found to have used AI, they will be in breach of this provision, which will lead to permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

7. The Use of “Bots”:

A Bot is software that can interact with the BetMGM platform without any human input. The software calculates the best available decision and then executes it. Certain companies offer Bots specifically created to play a game in the place of an actual (human) player, and conceal its use from the other players, and avoid detection by the online gaming site. These programs are marketed by explicitly promising the prospective purchaser/user an unfair advantage over other online players not using that program. The use of Bots is prohibited. If a player is found to have used a Bot in any way, they will be in breach of this provision, which will lead to permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

8. Real Time Assistance (RTA) Tools:

RTA tools that use software to suggest to an active player what action to take (i.e. ‘bet’ or ‘check’) are prohibited. BetMGM reserves the right to withhold funds of and deny services to any person using a prohibited tool or service. If a player is found to have used an RTA or otherwise prohibited tool or service, they will be in breach of this provision, which will lead to permanent account closure,  confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

Permitted Third-Party Tools:

We do not forbid/discourage all online programs. Our own website provides permissible programs for playing online. Our objective, however, is in providing and promoting a level playing field and the best possible user experience for all Our players.

The only third-party tools that are permitted to be used on BetMGM while the gaming platform is open are listed below, and also on the Poker FAQ page. We recommend You visit this ‘Unfair Advantage Policy’ and the linked Poker FAQ page frequently to stay up to date on which poker tools are permitted or prohibited by BetMGM.

Here are some tools that are permitted whilst using Our platform:

PartyCaption, StackAndTile, PlaceMint, Table Tamer, StarsHelper, Mosaic 2, IntuitiveTables, Universal Replayer, Jurojin Poker, Slot Poker Pro, hand2note, Poker Copilot, NoteCaddy, Holdem Manager 3, Poker Tracker 4.

Use of any tools not mentioned in the above list or on the Poker FAQ page is prohibited while the platform is in use, may lead to restrictions being placed on Your account and could lead to permanent account closure. If a user is found to be in breach of Our Terms of Service, BetMGM reserves the right to permanently close the player’s account, confiscate their funds and pursue additional actions.

Prohibited Third-Party Tools while the Poker Platform is in Use:

There are a number of tools that are designed to help You improve as a poker player. While many players will legitimately use these tools for studying and personal improvement outside of the game, many of these tools unfortunately also provide assistance that, should they be used in-game, provide the user with an unfair advantage over the remainder of the playing field. As such, there are a number of tools that are strictly prohibited from being used while the poker platform is also in use.

The list of prohibited tools while the poker platform is in use includes, but is not limited to:

PioSOLVER, PokerSnowie, Jesolver, Flopzilla, ICMIZER, Vision GTO Trainer, InstaGTO, Holdem Indicator, Omaha Indicator, Stud Indicator, Tournament Indicator, HirokuScript, Poker Calculator Pro, Super HUD, Tournament Shark, Lucid GTO, Spinwize, Deepsolver, SimplePostFlop, Equilab, chartmanager, MonkeySolver, SimpleNash, PokerStove.

Please note that any user found to be in breach of these restrictions could be subject to discipline in a number of forms, from a warning (in which the user’s account may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service), up to and including permanent account closure, confiscation of their funds and additional actions.

Prohibited Third-Party Tools:

For the avoidance of doubt, there are some tools that, if a player is found to be using in any capacity, will result in a breach of BetMGM’s Terms of Service and may result in an immediate closure of the player’s account and seizure of their funds. The use of any tool that does the following is not permitted at any time:

• Any tool that is designed to circumvent Our restrictions on downloadable hand histories.
• Any tool that plays without human intervention (a “Bot”).
• Any tool that makes decisions for, or advises decisions to, a player – therefore reducing the human element of the game (“assistance software”).
• Any tool that automates the process of joining a specific table or game based on a defined set of criteria, such as player statistics or notes (a “seating script”).
• Virtual Machines and Screen Sharing/Remote Access Software.
• The use of both Virtual Machines and/or any software that specializes in screen-sharing and remote-access is prohibited on BetMGM.

The list of prohibited tools includes, but is not limited to:

VMWare, Teamviewer, WinHoldem, Warbot, Sharkmate, HoldemBot, ICM-Bot, SpinWiz, InHuman, DeepMind Pokerbot, Omaha Shark, Poker Edge, SessionLord, FullAutoHoldem.

The list of prohibited tools also includes the tools listed on the Poker FAQ page. We recommend You visit this ‘Unfair Advantage Policy’ and the linked Poker FAQ page frequently to stay up to date on which poker tools are permitted or prohibited by BetMGM.

Should You have any questions about the use of any specific tool, please contact Our Poker Team.

Requesting permission for a non-listed third-party tool:

If You wish to use a third-party tool or application that is not listed in the permitted sections above, please e-mail Our Poker Team with Your request. Please also include the website address of the tool that You wish to use. If, after reviewing the requested tool, We choose to grant permission for it to be used on Our network, We will reply to You directly and add it to the permitted list. Please note that We will not grant permission to tools that provide timing randomizers, seat scripts and Bot/assistance software. Similarly, We only monitor third-party tools that work alongside the BetMGM platform and only tools with such functionality will be reviewed. As a result, any new or already existing third-party tools that do not directly integrate with the BetMGM platform will not be reviewed, and will therefore not be added to the permitted tools list.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does BetMGM distinguish between Prohibited and Permitted categories of programs? Is it true that many of these programs are for training and improving gaming skills?

Programs that give a player an advantage are not the issue; an unfair advantage is. Our basis for distinction is not whether a particular program gives the user an advantage over non-using players, nor is it based on the particular content. The key indicators that define the class of programs We seek to eliminate from use on the website are: (1) deception and (2) breach of Our customers’ privacy.

What We are referring to is programs which: (a) advertise as a key feature that the buyer/user will gain an unfair advantage (often they even use the word “cheat”) over the other players, in other words they promise to help a player to cheat; or (b) their use by the buyer/user is intended to remain concealed from the other players and from the “operator” (i.e., the online gaming room); or (c) steal legally protected material (e.g., player identities) that violates International Copyright Laws, as well as Privacy Laws (“Prohibited Categories”).

Which counter-measures is BetMGM taking to prevent the use of Bots?

Our efforts can be divided into three separate categories: (a) identification & detection; (b) warning/suspending offending users; and (c) additional measures through enlarged customer choice. Identification and detection counter-measures are in-place now and have been for some time. These efforts will continue to improve - so that We’re able to more precisely detect existing Bots and, more importantly, so that as new Bots are created/released, We can also prevent those from diminishing the user experience when on the website.

Do the efforts involve “data mining” or other means to access/read files on my computer?

Yes, and We want You to know what particular data We’re looking for and why We need to do this. The best way to explain this is by comparison to the most well-known form of data mining, where companies gather data about the user for (among other reasons) purely commercial purposes (i.e. to sell a user profile to online advertisers). Our automated software reports on any processes or programs in use on Your computer that have been identified as subject to this policy. We do not scan Your hard drive or take screenshots from Your machine. We do a limited query of players’ computers while they’re playing at Our tables, solely for the purpose of detecting use of the offending type of software We’re talking about here. This type of monitoring remains one of the key counter-measures against the abuses caused by Bots, which We believe are against the interests of Our players. To find out more about Our general policy regarding data processing, please see Our Privacy Policy.

General Poker Etiquette

The following actions are strictly prohibited on the BetMGM platform, and any player found to be in breach of these provisions may be subjected to suspension, based on the severity of the infraction:

• Queueing - Queueing occurs when a player, or a group of players, intentionally tries to alter or avoid specific opponents in games where registration is ‘blind’.
• Ratholing - Ratholing is the act of cashing out chips from a cash-game table and then rebuying with a smaller amount of chips at a different table. Ratholing is considered unethical behavior.
• Blind Abuse - Blind abuse occurs when the player receiving the button in a heads-up match sits out or leaves the table after winning the big blind from the opponent. To combat this behavior, each player is required to play an equal number of small blinds and big blinds. The player receiving the button in the first hand is required to finish the game in a hand where the opponent receives the dealer button.

Chat Abuse

BetMGM provides players with a chat facility through which players can communicate with other users of the BetMGM platform. We collect and may use this information for legitimate business purposes, including to enforce these Terms of Service. BetMGM reserves the right to review chat history and to record all statements made on such facility. A player’s use of the chat facility is subject to the following rules. Players shall not:

• Make any statements that are sexually explicit or offensive, including expressions of bigotry, racism, hatred, or profanity.
• Make statements that are abusive, defamatory, or harassing or insulting to other users of Our Service.
• Make statements that advertise, promote, or otherwise relate to any other online entities.
• Make statements about BetMGM or the Sites or any other internet site connected to BetMGM that are untrue and/or malicious and/or damaging to BetMGM.

BetMGM only permits the use of English within the chat facility.

Players are prohibited from chatting about games in progress. Any chat that may influence how any player in the game might act during a hand is prohibited.

• The only two exceptions to this rule are as follows: (1) In cash game hands which are heads-up (where everyone else active at the table has folded), or (2) When the two players are the final two players remaining in a tournament, the two players involved may chat freely amongst each other. Upon breach by a player of any of the above provisions, BetMGM retains the right to remove a player’s chat privilege without any warning.

PLEASE NOTE: Any personally identifiable information You share via the chat may be visible to other BetMGM players or third parties. BetMGM is not responsible for the consequences of any voluntarily shared personally identifiable information that any player submits via the chat facility being read by others.

Violation of Our chat abuse policy is subject to a number of measures, from a warning in which the user’s chat may be temporarily suspended in order to educate and reiterate the requirements of the Terms of Service, up to and including permanent chat closure and additional actions.

Consequences of Unfair Practices:

Where We in Our absolute discretion determine an unfair practice has taken place (whether an unfair advantage has been gained or not), the person(s) responsible for that practice will be subject to one or all of the following consequences:

• We may e-mail the offender(s) and demand the immediate halt of all unfair practices.
• We may suspend the offending account(s) for the purposes of conducting a thorough investigation into the unfair practices.
• Ultimately, We may, in Our sole discretion, terminate the offending account(s) indefinitely and all funds in the account(s) may be forfeited (see Sections 5, 20, and 22 of Our General Terms of Service).
• We may report the Unfair Practices to Our regulators.

Player Account

The BetMGM platforms meet the highest security standards in the industry, with a five-level security system, multiple firewalls, and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Early-warning systems in the form of limits on unusually high stakes and winnings prevent manipulation and other criminal activities at an early stage.

However, You can help Us to further increase the safety of Your account:

• You are responsible for the safety of Your personal computer and mobile device. Configure Your auto-lock features to protect them from unauthorized use.
• Keep Your access details safe at all times (user ID, password, and Your question-and-answer combination).
• Don’t share Your account credentials, Your credit card information or Your bank account details.
• Don’t leave Your computer or mobile device unattended when You are logged in.
• Don’t use the ‘Save password’ option on log-in screens.
• Sharing devices is prohibited under the Terms of Service and You are prohibited from allowing any other person to access or use Your Account.

You should change Your password regularly. By default, You receive an e-mail notification every time You log in to Your Account, unless You turn the notifications off. If You cannot remember having accessed Your account at the specified date and time, change Your password immediately. If You have forgotten Your password, You can retrieve it here.

Strong Authentication. For an additional level of safety, a “strong authentication” setting is available to increase the level of protection on Your account. If enabled, each time You log in to Your account, after entering Your e-mail address and password, a one-time code is sent via SMS to Your registered mobile number. You can also request to send it to Your registered e-mail address. This one-time code will then be required to successfully log in to Your account. You can set these options in Your Account settings. Please ensure that Your contact information is up to date in Your BetMGM account settings.

Two-Factor Authentication. Every new device You use to log in to Your BetMGM account will also require two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS or e-mail.

• SMS. If You are logging in with a new unrecognized device, a 2FA pop-up notification will appear that will allow You to send a one-time code via SMS to Your registered mobile number.
• E-mail. If You prefer to perform 2FA via e-mail, You may also have the option to click on the ‘Send Code to E-mail’ button, depending on which jurisdiction You are logging in from.
• Trusted Devices. After You enter the one-time code, Your current device will be considered ‘trusted’ moving forward, which will allow You to log in with Your e-mail and password without having to enter a one-time code.

You can contact Our Customer Care team at any time to obtain Your account history and game history, or a copy of Our Terms of Service. You may also access Your account and game history by logging into Your account and clicking “My Account” and following the prompts for “My Transactions” and/or “Cashier”.   

If You want to take a break or stop playing on Our sites (for any reasons other than the prevention of gambling-related problems), We offer a service closure. For further information, please contact Our Customer Care team.

General Disconnection and Game Cancellation Policy

Unless otherwise stated by Us, the following terms and conditions set forth the rules and procedures that govern all players’ rights in the event of disconnection and game cancellation.

1. Disconnection protection is a tool that protects players if their internet connection is lost while they are involved in gameplay. BetMGM strives to offer the best disconnection protection to Our players. Our goal is to protect players, while also maintaining appropriate checks so that the protection offered is not abused.

2. Disconnection protection is not intended to be used other than in the event of a genuine disconnection. Any misuse of this policy may result in the forfeiture of any monies won, tournament disqualification, the loss of the disconnection protection privilege, or expulsion from the website.

3. BetMGM’s software is designed to assess if a player has a genuine disconnection before giving the disconnection protection to them. Players trying to take advantage of disconnection protection by deliberately getting ‘timed out’ will be deemed to have ended their gameplay.

4. Players must accept the risk of disconnection and should log back in and continue playing as quickly as possible if they are cut off. Ask Your internet service provider about how they can help reduce the risk of disconnection. BetMGM is not responsible for player disconnection.

5. BetMGM reserves the right to alter this policy and render final decisions on all matters herein at Our sole discretion. Policy changes and relevant decisions will be communicated accordingly by Us using electronic means.

6. BetMGM’s Services, or certain betting markets, may not be available at any particular time (including due to connectivity issues).

7. Updates to the displayed information (not due to game or system faults) may put a player at a disadvantage compared to others who may have more up-to-date information.

8. BetMGM may incorporate delays in the registered time for in-play wagers to prevent past-post wagers and cancellations.

DISCONNECTION POLICY - CASINO

1. If a player becomes disconnected while involved in a game where no player input is required to complete the game, the game will produce the final outcome as determined by the random number generator. We will update the player’s Account accordingly.

2. If a player becomes disconnected while involved in a single player game, where player input is required to complete the game, We will, subject to Our discretion, either: (1) upon subsequent activation, return the player to the game state from immediately prior to the interruption and allow the player to complete the game; All wagers pending disposition shall be held in a pending wager account; or (2) cancel the game according to the specific game’s rules, resulting in either the forfeiture of the player’s wager or the return of funds to the player in accordance with BetMGM’s internal procedures; or (3) depending on the specific game’s rules, make a selection on behalf of the player in order to complete the game.

3. If a player becomes disconnected while involved in a game with multiple players, where the result is affected by the time to respond to a game event, such as Poker or Blackjack, the game shall make a selection on behalf of the player in order to complete the game.

DISCONNECTION POLICY - POKER

Lifeline

The normal disconnection protection feature is not available on certain types of tables (all tournaments and some specifically marked ring-game tables). These tables will have ‘No DP’ next to their names in the Lobby. On these tables, when a player who is invested in the current pot is deemed to be disconnected, the system will award additional time for them to return and rejoin the game.

The amount of time awarded will depend on the current pot size:

• For stud games ‘X’ is lower stake 
• For flop games, ‘X’ is big blind 

For non heads-up tables:

• No time added if pot size is up to 5xX
• 20 seconds if the pot is more than 5xX and up to 20xX
• 30 seconds if the pot is more than 20xX and up to 40xX
• 45 seconds if the pot is more than 40xX and up to 80xX
• 60 seconds if the pot is more than 80xX

For heads-up tables:

• 20 seconds if the pot is more than 0 and up to 5xX 
• 30 seconds if the pot is more than 5xX and up to 10xX 
• 45 seconds if the pot is more than 10xX 

The system will wait for additional time only if the current player who is deemed to be disconnected is: a) invested in the pot and b) his current options do not contain a ‘Check’ option. We call this feature a ‘lifeline’. Lifelines are simply the extra time a player will be given to choose what to do if they are disconnected when it is their turn to act. We strongly discourage abuse of this feature by penalizing players deemed to be using it intentionally with the possibility of losing both chips and money. The player will be given 60 seconds to reconnect, including the lifeline. If the player reconnects on the 56^th second, they will then have at least 20 seconds to act, this is the extra ‘bet time-out’ period.

Here’s a brief breakdown of tables and tournaments which feature lifelines or the normal disconnect protection:

• Any table (normal, STT, MTT) can have either lifelines or DP; no table can have both features.
• All tournament tables are lifeline tables.
• Live-game tables can be either DP or lifeline tables.
• There is no lifeline tag added to STTs and MTTs listed in the Lobby.
• ‘No DP’ will be added to the Lobby listings for live games if they are lifeline tables.

An unlimited number of lifelines are available to Our players, as long as the conditions given above are met.

We’ll send the player a chat message when Our software decides to award additional time as a result of a disconnection.

If a player who is deemed to be disconnected has the option to check, Our software will automatically carry out this action without awarding any additional time.

Tournament Disconnection Protection

Sit & Go single-table tournament and Sit & Go multi-table tournament

Disconnection protection is not available in any Sit & Go tournaments. Your hand will automatically be folded if You lose Your connection.

Multi-table tournament

Disconnection protection is not available in any multi-table tournaments. Your hand will automatically be folded if You lose Your connection.

Deal-making

The deal-making process will continue as normal, even if You are disconnected while discussing a deal with another player, giving rise to the following scenarios:

• You reconnect while the deal is still taking place and rejoin the process.
• You do not reconnect before the deal is rejected because the deal-making time has elapsed.
• Other players have rejected the deal while You were disconnected, and play has resumed.
• Disconnection is treated as an implicit rejection of a deal, if a deal must be approved by all the players at the table, it will fail unless You reconnect and confirm it in the allotted time.

GAME CANCELLATION POLICY - POKER

Real Money Games

If a game is cancelled while a hand is in progress, the player balances will revert to the balances from the start of the hand. For other issues related to real money games in progress, please refer to Our Lifeline and Disconnection policies above.

Poker Tournament Cancellation

For Single Table Sit & Go tournaments, Multi-Table Sit & Go tournaments and Multi-Table tournaments, if a tournament is cancelled for technical reasons, the following refund policy will take effect:

• Players still in the tournament will be refunded the amount that would have been awarded to the next player to be eliminated from the tournament.
• 50% of the remaining prize pool will be distributed equally between the remaining players, and 50% will be distributed on a percentage basis according to each player’s chip count. The remaining players will also be refunded their entry fee.

d. In extraordinary circumstances where the quality of Our service is severely degraded, such as may happen due to the occurrence of an Act of God, a terrorist attack, fire, or malicious Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, We reserve the right to cancel tournaments and refund players their buy-in and entry fee only for tournaments where the actual prize pools may be less than guaranteed prize pools. In such an event We will refund all players their buy-in and entry fee, including those players who were eliminated at the time of cancellation.

• The pre-determined bounty amount will form part of the total prize-pool if this has not already been won.
• The remaining players will NOT be refunded their entry fee.
• A SPINS tournament will be deemed as started only when the first card is dealt.

Rebuy Tournaments:

• With each rebuy and add-on, the total chips in the tournament will increase. The total chips in rebuy tournaments will be equal to the sum of all players starting chips (including extra starting chips, if any), plus the sum of chips given to all players through a rebuy request, plus the sum of chips given to all players through an add-on request. The total chips in the tournament will continue to accumulate as and when players make a rebuy request, and the final number will be calculated only when the add-on period is over.
• If a tournament crashes during the add-on period, the exact count of total chips in the tournament at the time of crash (including the chips added into the tournament as a result of rebuy and add-on requests) will be used to distribute the balance of the prize-pool money.
• If a Satellite tournament is offering a guaranteed prize; the guaranteed prize is only guaranteed and paid out if the late registration period closes after the specified number of blind levels. If the tournament completes while late registration is still open, only monies collected will be distributed in prizes to players in the form of tickets, tournament dollars and/or cash, which will be based on how the prize structure is configured.
• The tournament disconnection protection and cancellation policy applies to all tournaments.
• We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule tournaments at any time, for any reason, with or without notice.

• Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all use of the website by a player is governed by the General Terms of Service. In the event of any dispute, these Terms of Service will apply.

Player Protection (Responsible Gaming)

INTRODUCTION

At BetMGM, We believe that online gambling “when done in the spirit of fun” can offer an unsurpassed level of excitement. However, when in those instances a person exhibits problem-gambling behavior, We believe it is Our responsibility to offer information and assistance.

This page was created to inform customers of the risks associated with problem gambling and to serve as a means of prevention to those who are at risk for developing a gambling problem. Please take a moment to read through this information, as it will provide You with the means to maximize Your enjoyment while gambling responsibly.

What Is Problem Gambling?

Like many other addictions, gambling addiction is rooted in an uncontrollable urge and obsession, which if left unchecked, can lead to financial hardship. Pathological gambling has been listed as a recognized psychological disorder in the international classification systems DSM-V and ICD-10 since 1980. It is defined as persistent, recurring and often increasing gambling despite negative personal and social consequences such as debt, breakdown of social relations and impairment of professional development.

Unfortunately, one of the most common symptoms of this disease is deception; people with gambling problems will go to great lengths to hide their gambling related problems, not just from others, but also from themselves. As a result, detection can come late after adverse consequences are revealed and with dire consequences. A negative vicious cycle often develops, wherein the gambler seeks relief or even a solution through increased gambling. The ensuing financial and emotional deterioration affects every aspect of the affected person’s life, from family and friends to colleagues and associates.

Gambling addiction is a disease that does not discriminate. Anyone is susceptible regardless of gender, age, race, or financial status. Fortunately, once detected, it is an addiction that can be successfully treated.

The Warning Signs:

• Sacrificing time from work or family in order to gamble.
• Repeated inability to stop or control betting.
• Borrowing money to gamble or to pay off previous bets.
• Use of gambling as an emotional escape.
• Self-neglect or neglect of family due to gambling.
• Lying about time or money lost to betting.
• Gambling more in order to recoup previous losses (“chasing losses”).
• Obtaining money for gambling by selling/pawning personal property.
• Feelings of hopelessness, depression or suicide.

We strongly encourage all of Our players to know their limits and stay within them. Review the rest of this information to find out more about how We’re creating a fair and responsible gambling environment for everyone to enjoy.

BASIC PRINCIPLES

BetMGM aims to provide the world’s safest and most innovative betting platform. With Our fair and responsible product line-up, every user can play within their financial means and receive the best service possible. BetMGM commits itself to integrity, fairness and reliability and We always do Our best to prevent gambling-related problems.

Together with leading research institutes, associations and counselling providers, We have developed measures that ensure a responsible, safe and reliable place for online gambling.

• Real Fairness

It is Our responsibility to create a gambling environment that is founded on the spirit of fair play. The trust of Our customers is fundamental to Our success. Customer confidence is reliant on Us safeguarding the fairness of the games and protecting Our customers against fraud. We work closely with independent authorities which monitor the fairness of the gambling products We offer. When it comes to fraud and manipulation, Our dedicated investigation and online monitoring teams ensure Your protection.

• Real Security

BetMGM is subject to strict regulatory oversight, and We comply with a wide range of laws, rules, standards and regulations throughout various jurisdictions. Regular verification of compliance by means of independent reviews confirms that random number generators work as they should, that Your deposits are kept safe in segregated accounts and that Your personal data is protected.

• Real Prevention

  For many people around the world, gambling is a great source of entertainment. Unfortunately, some individuals experience problems related to their gambling, which vary in degree from mild to very severe. We are committed to identifying risks as early as possible and intervening to prevent these problems before they emerge. We have in place a Responsible Gaming program which includes controls to help customers play within their limits and avoid a situation where gambling causes problems (see section ‘Setting Player Gaming Limits’).

• Real Education

GameSense was introduced by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation in 2009 and has earned international recognition, such as the World Lottery Association’s ‘Best Overall Responsible Gambling Problem’ and the U.S. National Council on Problem Gambling’s ‘Social Responsibility Award’. GameSense combines recommendations on responsible gaming with interactive tools and exhibits meant to engage patrons at MGM Resorts and Ontario casinos and through various digital platforms, including the comprehensive website and associated social media channels.

Responsible Gaming Behavior

By observing the following rules, You will be able to better enjoy Your gambling experience:

• Gamble for fun and not as a way to earn money.
• Only play when You are relaxed and concentrated.
• Take regular breaks.
• Keep track of Your gambling. Consult the overview of Your gambling transactions in Your account.
• Decide Your monthly gambling budget in advance.
• Only gamble what You can afford to lose.
• Independently of Our standard deposit limits, You may set a lower amount as Your own personal limit.
• Once You’ve set Your limit, stay within it. Increasing it later may lead to excessive play.
• Before You start playing, decide the winning amount at which You will end the game.
• Decide beforehand how high Your losses can be, and be comfortable ending the game once You’ve reached Your limit.
• Never play under the influence of alcohol or medication.
• Never play if You are feeling depressed.

There are myths associated with gambling, such as:

• My luck will change if I keep gambling and I’m sure I’ll win my money back.
• I am due for a win.
• If I play multiple games at a time, I’ll increase my chances of winning.
• I have a special strategy that helps me win.
• I have a gut feeling that today is my lucky day.

While having rituals and believing the next spin is “the one” can be fun and add to Your enjoyment, it’s important to understand just how random the games and events are. Remember, the house has the advantage, and You’re likely to lose more than You win over time, so stay within Your limits and keep it fun.

There are many risks associated with problem gambling, including:

• A negative impact on relationships and family life.
• Financial difficulties, including maxing out credit cards and increasing debts.
• A range of emotional, physical, and psychological health problems.
• An adverse effect on an individual’s ability to perform well at work.

We would like to stress that diagnoses relating to clinical disorders, such as problem gambling, can only be made by trained specialists. This page offers material which will allow You to quickly assess and consider Your own behavior. If You can identify with four or more of the following characteristics, We recommend that You speak to a professional:

• Are You highly involved in gambling?
• Do Your thoughts constantly turn to gambling?
• Are You constantly increasing Your stakes? Even beyond Your financial means?
• Have You unsuccessfully attempted to quit or cut down Your gambling?
• Do You become irritated and frustrated after attempting to reduce the extent of Your gambling?
• Does gambling serve as a means of getting away from problems or unpleasant feelings?
• Have You ever tried to win back losses by taking risks You usually would not take?
• Have You ever lied about the extent or success of Your gambling?
• Has Your gambling ever led to a negative impact on Your relationships or Your job?
• Have You ever been forced to rely on others to finance Your gambling?

BetMGM offers a variety of responsible gambling tools to help players stay in control of their gambling. To learn more about these tools, visit the Responsible Gaming section under Your “Account Settings”.

SETTING PLAYER GAMING LIMITS

We offer a range of different options that can be used to manage Your gambling activity at any time. This includes tools which allow You to limit the amount You can deposit, wager or lose,  or the option to place a “timeout” on Your account from gaming for a period of time. Limits only apply to one platform and will need to be set individually on any other BetMGM platforms You may use.

Once You have previously established a gaming limit, any request to relax or eliminate that limit will only be effective after a cooling-off period of at least 24 hours. Any limit You heighten will be effective immediately. You will receive an instant notification regarding all limits You have set and any changes to those limits.

Deposit and Wager Limits

Deposit and wager limits can be set on a daily, weekly and monthly basis and specify the maximum amount of money You can deposit into Your internet gaming account during a particular period of time. All requests to set a new limit or to heighten previously established limits will be implemented immediately. All requests to relax or eliminate previously established limits will only become valid after a delay (24 hours) and an additional confirmation of the request. When a player sets simultaneous periods (e.g., a deposit limit for a day and for a week), the lowest limit must apply. Please go to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Responsible Gaming Limits --> Deposit Limits to set a deposit/wager limit.

Loss Limits

Loss limits can be offered on a daily, weekly and monthly basis and specify the maximum amount of money You can wager during a particular period of time. All requests to set a new limit or to heighten previously established limits will be implemented immediately; requests to relax or eliminate previously established limits will only become valid after a delay (24 hours) and an additional confirmation of the request. Please go to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Responsible Gaming Limits --> Loss Limits to set a loss limit.

Stake Limits

Stake limits can be offered on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis and You can specify the maximum amount of money You can wager during a particular period of time. All requests to set a new limit or to heighten previously established limits will be implemented immediately; requests to relax or eliminate previously established limits will only become valid after a delay (24 hours) and an additional confirmation of the request. Please go to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Responsible Gaming Limits --> Stake Limits to set a stake limit.

Timeout/Cooling Off Period

Should You need a time-out (“cooling off”) period from gambling, You can choose Our time-out action. Please be aware that the time-out must be for a minimum of 1 day (up to a maximum of 3 months) and that during that time You will not be able to place a wager or deposit. You will still be able to login to withdraw any remaining funds or check Your transaction history. The account will be automatically reenabled after the selected timeout period has passed. Please go to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Time Out.

We also provide a voluntary self-exclusion program for longer periods of six (6) months, one (1) year, or five (5) years. Once initiated, any remaining balance will be refunded, and You will no longer be able to access Your BetMGM account. Please go to Player Icon --> Responsible Gaming --> Self-Exclusion to voluntarily self-exclude. The self-exclusion program only applies to BetMGM, and You will need to contact BetMGM in order to reopen the account once the self-exclusion time period has ended.

8. If We accept a ‘Cash Out’ when the result of a bet has already been determined, We reserve the right to void the ‘Cash Out’ and reclaim associated funds. We also reserve the right to void and reclaim any ‘Cash Out’ if there is any indication of abuse of the ‘Cash Out’ feature.

9. The ‘Cash Out’ functionality is not available for bets placed as ‘Bonus Bets’.

Auto & Notify Cash Out Terms and Conditions

1. Auto Cash Out & Notify Cash Out are available on markets that have Cash Out enabled. For information on Cash Out, please see the Cash Out Terms & Conditions.

2. Where an Auto Cash Out request has been made and Cash Out is unavailable, and not made available again before the end of an event, bets will be settled based on the final result.

3. If Cash Out is actioned manually for a bet, any existing Auto Cash Out or Notify Cash Out requests relating to that bet will be automatically removed and no longer apply.

4. The availability of the Auto Cash Out & Notify Cash Out features cannot be guaranteed and is not offered on all bets.

5. We shall not be responsible if the Auto Cash Out or Notify Cash Out features are not available for technical reasons and bets will stand as originally placed during any such period.

6. When a bet is live, all Cash Outs are subject to a live betting delay. This can mean that the Auto Cash Out process can start when the stated value is reached, but if the value of the Cash Out falls below the set amount before the live bet delay is complete, the Auto Cash Out may not complete.

7. Please note that Auto Cash Out & Notify Cash Out are not guaranteed. In some circumstances, We may be unable to automatically cash out Your bet(s) or send notifications, despite this appearing to be possible on the relevant sections of the website/app.

8. Auto Cash Out is independent of Cash Out settings, meaning that Auto Cash Out will ignore any Cash Out Value Change settings that are in place in the account. This means that Auto Cash Out will only complete at or above the value stated by the patron for each bet.

9. We reserve the right to amend, suspend, or remove the Auto Cash Out and/or Notify Cash Out features at any time for any event, fixture, or market. Any bets placed on such events, fixtures, or markets prior to such amendment, suspension, or removal of the Auto Cash Out and/or Notify Cash Out functionality, shall stand as originally placed.

10. We reserve the right to reverse the settlement of a bet that has been settled using Auto Cash Out if the bet or a market is settled in error.

11. Notifications may be subject to delay, and We shall not be responsible for any delays in notifications being sent or received.

12. Cash Out values are subject to change and patrons should be aware that the Cash Out value available may be different to the Cash Out value stated in the notification.

Edit My Bet Terms and Conditions

1. Edit My Bet is available on selected events, fixtures, and markets both pre-match and live for a variety of sports.

2. When an Edit My Bet request is made, the current bet is subject to a Cash Out before the new bet with the edited changes is placed.

3. A bet delay may occur when validating an Edit My Bet request. If the price changes or a market is suspended during this time, the Edit My Bet request may not be successful.

4. Any settings already in place with regard to Cash Out value changes and/or betslip odds changes will continue to apply during the Edit My Bet process. Those settings can be amended within the ‘Betting Settings’ in Your player account.

5. Where any selection is suspended or closed after the patron’s request, and before the conclusion of the Edit My Bet process, the Edit My Bet will be unsuccessful.

6. If an Edit My Bet request is unsuccessful after the request is confirmed, the original bet may have been Cashed Out, which shall mean the Cash Out value of the original bet was returned to the player’s account in error. We will strive to return any such bets to the state they were in prior to the unsuccessful Edit My Bet request, provided that the bet has not yet been settled. We reserve the right to retrieve any funds which are incorrectly refunded to player account balances.

7. If the Edit My Bet request is successful, the new selected bet will be placed using either (a) the sum equal to the Cash Out of the original bet and, where applicable, (b) the increased/decreased stake selected during the Edit My Bet process. The bet details will be displayed within the “My Bets” section of the player account.

8. The Cash Out value is subject to change in line with the general market while the Edit My Bet process is ongoing.

9. Where a bet has been edited using Our Edit My Bet feature, the final stake on the last settled bet will be eligible to contribute towards a turnover requirement, provided that the selections meet the qualifying criteria. This means that the original stake placed on the original bet will be disregarded for turnover requirement purposes.

10. Using the Edit My Bet feature may impact the eligibility of Your bet for available promotions. It is the player’s responsibility to check the Terms and Conditions of each promotion before using the Edit My Bet feature.

11. The availability of the Edit My Bet feature cannot be guaranteed and is not offered on all bet types.

12. Where Edit My Bet is available pre-event and We do not cover the event live, the Edit My Bet feature will only be available before the event.

13. The Edit My Bet feature shall take into account all betting limits, which shall be calculated in the same manner as any standard bet. If the Edit My Bet functionality causes a bet limit to be met, the Edit My Bet request may be declined.

14. We shall not be responsible if the Edit My Bet feature is not available for technical reasons and bets shall stand as originally placed during any such period.

15. We reserve the right to accept or decline any bet/wager requested for any sport, competition, market, or bet type when attempting to use Edit My Bet.

16. We reserve the right to amend, suspend, or remove the Edit My Bet feature at any time for any event, fixture, or market. Any bets placed on such events, fixtures, or markets prior to such amendment, suspension, or removal of the Edit My Bet functionality, shall stand as originally placed.

17. We reserve the right to reverse the settlement of a bet that has been edited using Edit My Bet if the bet or a market is settled in error.
