Our verdict

Player stopped responding

Amount: £5,000

BetMGM Casino UK
Safety Index 9.8 Very high

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom realized that BetMGM was affiliated with Leo Vegas, where she had a lifetime ban due to her gambling issues. She requested an immediate refund of her deposits. We were unable to proceed with the complaint due to insufficient evidence that the self-exclusion from Leo Vegas extended to BetMGM and the lack of active GAMSTOP registration. Despite requests for further information and communication, the player did not provide the necessary proof to support her claim. Consequently, the complaint was closed for the time being due to the absence of a response from the player.

Hi there.


I have a lifetime ban with Leo vegas and there sister sites or any that work with the licence of Leo vegas.


I signed up with BetMGM after seeing them advertised on the TV thinking it was a fresh new solo company, i signed up, i managed to deposit large sums of money i have a serious gambling issue, mental health issues.


I had no idea they was a part of leovegas until now. I am totally horrified they even allowed this to happen! They have breached all terms of there licence. I therefore request all my deposits refunded with immediate affect.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with BetMGM Casino UK.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please confirm you have an active registration in the GAMSTOP self-exclusion scheme? https://www.gamstop.co.uk/
  • Have you registered in the casino using the personal information included in the Gastop registration?
  • Is your player's account verified?
  • Is your player's account accessible, or was it blocked? When was it blocked?
  • Could you please clarify during which time period you were able to deposit the amount specified in your complaint?
  • Could you please share any recent communication with the casino discussing the issue? Send it to my email at tomas@casino.guru for review.

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Thanks for the explanation.

Kindly share the relevant communication supporting the fact that the casino should have protected you, such as your previous self-exclusion requests or self-exclusion confirmations.

If there are any responses from BetMGM, send them to me as well.

Send the information to my email at tomas@casino.guru for review.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Laura448,

We would like to update you that due to Tomas, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Tomas has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Tomas will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Thanks for your reply.

Please note that we are unable to confront the casino based on the information you provided.

First, make sure your Gamstop registration is active with information that is accurate and up to date. If the casino licensed under UKGC allowed you to play despite an active Gamstop registration, you need to contact them and ask for assistance.

Second, if there is an active self-exclusion from other online casinos, we will need evidence that this extends to BETMGM. Without similar evidence, there is no basis to expect protection in establishments other than the casino where you requested the self-exclusion.

Please let me know if you would be able to provide similar evidence to support your complaint.

My email is tomas@casino.guru

Looking forward to your reply.
