    My account has been on hold and was told to contact BetMGM customer service. Ive contacted for over a month now trying to unrestrict my account. I was told to send in a liability statement and told I sent the wrong one. I resent my gaming liability statement to the correct one I just got updated. Customer support tells me wait ***** hours. Every time 72 hours passes by, they repeat the same thing and its been over a month now trying to withdraw my current balance of $315.05. No actual updates at all. **************** just repeats theyre working on it and will do a follow up, but no updates at all. Account isnt fixed, my money is being held hostage. Ive waited over a month already.

    my betmgm account was locked on december 11th, and that until the review was completed i would not be able to wager or access my funds. Support asked me for documents which i promptly provided.I was told that my account would be reviewed within 48 hours, yet it has already been 10 days. each time i reach out to support, i am told that i will receive an update on my account in 48 hours. this is a lie, as i have received no updates, no information on the status of my account, or when it will be unlocked.Frankly, it feels as though i have been forgotten.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    No resolution was offered. I was not offered any explanation regarding why my account was locked, a time frame for when it will be unlocked, or an avenue for expediting the process of unlocking my account.

    ********************** continues to hold onto my funds which I deposited, and it has been nearly a month. In the response, you state the operations team is working diligently to resolve this issue. If this was the case, this issue would have been a long time ago.

    Deposited $610 in my account for ********** on accident, meant to deposit in ******** but did not realize that BetMGM is different by state, this was my fault. BetMGM's fault is that they will not refund my deposit, I never made a bet so I just want the money I deposited back. As of right now they are keeping money that is not theirs and just giving me the runaround. Refund my money, I sent in several copies of the documents they requested, they keep asking for different copies for seemingly no reason.

    Business response

    12/26/2024

    We thank the patron for bringing this matter to our attention. 

    The patron initially reached out to ************* on ******** regarding this matter. The handling agent correctly educated the patron that their deposit had been made alongside a bonus code, and this was why they were unable to utilize the state-switcher nor withdrawal. After confirming with the patron, the bonus was dropped by the ************* Agent and the patron advised. 
     Youll be able to withdraw your winnings only after you have met the bonus wagering requirement.
    Depending on the bonus, your deposit amount, bonus amount or winnings (if any) can be restricted to a specific product, sport, sports league, game or group of games. If you fail to meet the wagering requirement by the bonus expiry date, the bonus amount and the winning amount (if any) will be taken back.

    ********************************************************************************************************;


    Due to Terms and Conditions, when the patron requested a withdrawal for their deposit via Venmo, documents were requested. Why do I need to send a copy of my ID to withdraw my winnings the first time?
    For your own safety, and to comply with the obligations of our license, we require an official photo ID for your first payout, which you may upload. The purpose of checking your ID is to ensure that you are of full legal age and to make sure you really are the person applying for the payout and not an unauthorized third party. Make sure that the copy/scan of your ID is not too dark to read and please limit the size of your documents to 5 MB. Please also note down your email address on the copy of your ID.

     ******************************************************************************************

    The patron's withdrawal was successfully processed, once all required documents were provided, as of 12.19.24 via their Venmo.

    This is a sports betting app that gives out promotions. I placed a bet with a promotion attached to it and did not receive the 100 bonus that came with the bet. I took a screenshot of the bet and promo and after I contacted support they told me it was for a different sport. But the details in the promo said basketball and when you click on the bet now tab it takes you directly to nba page to place bet.

    Business response

    12/29/2024

    We appreciate the patron reaching out to us.

    On 14 December 2024 the patron placed a wager on professional basketball, intending to use a Bet & Get token from an active promotion that was issued to their account on 13 December 2024.

    As required by the promotion’s Terms and Conditions, "To use the token, add a bet on College Basketball to your bet slip and activate the token". The wager was also placed on Professional Basketball games, not College Basketball, and as they were placed on non-eligible games, the patron's wager is not eligible for meeting the requirements to apply the token, and thus to receive the bonus from the promotion.

    These Terms and Conditions can be reviewed by clicking the “Details” button shown in the patron’s screenshot, or by clicking from BetMGM’s Homepage >> Promotions >> Choose promo >> More Info, or via the app, by clicking the Promotions Tab >> Choose promo >> More Info.

    Multiple agents have provided this information to the patron over the course of several contacts, and an escalation to our Supervisors has yielded the same outcome. The wager is not eligible for use with the token, as the wager was placed on professional basketball, not college basketball.

    As of 29 December 2024, the token is still active in the patron’s account, and is available for use on any college basketball wager the patron would care to place. If the patron has any questions, BetMGM’s Customer Care Team stands ready to assist.

    On 3 September I placed a single $1000 bet on-line with BetMGM. That bet paid off $2400 (including my $1000 stake) on December 8th. When I tried to withdraw my funds, the only option I was offered was something called VIP Preferred which I had never heard of and had no interest in. Based on other on-line complaints about withdrawing funds from BetMGM, I saw that using ones ****** account often worked. I deposited funds ($10) from that ****** account which is apparently required to create it as an option for withdrawals. And, in fact, my ****** account did then appear as an option (along with a the aforementioned VIP Preferred).I proceeded to request a withdrawal to my ****** account. Initially, it appeared to work fine, but then a got an email from BetMGM saying that I had to send them a copy of my drivers license as well as a photo of me holding the license. I complied. I then withdrew the funds to my ****** account again.But ********************** again blocked the transaction. I got another email telling me that they wouldnt release the funds until I sent a) a copy of my ****** account homepage and b) a recent statement from one of my bank accounts. I sent them the copy of the ****** page but told them that I was not sending them the bank account info as it is not involved in the withdrawal and I was already uneasy with the amount and nature of the personal information that I have *********** of the writing of this complaint, BetMGM has not responded and is still blocking my funds. I dont believe that BetMGM has any legitimate reason to require any more documentation than I have already provided. I can only assume that they are simply trying to hold onto my money for as long as possible (note: there is no disagreement as to whether the funds are mine or the amount of the funds).I am requesting that BetMGM release my funds based on the information that I have already provided.Thank you **** ****

    Complaint: 22686698

    I am rejecting this response because:

    While I appreciate the timely response, it doesn't address my specific complaint. BetMGM refers to their need to establish that I am who I claim to be. To that end, BetMGM has requested and I have provided:

    * A copy of my Illinois driver's license

    * A photograph of me holding said driver's license

    * A copy of my account home page of the ****** account to which i have attempted to send the funds from my BetMGM account

    * My registration included my birthdate and address (also included on the driver's license photo requested and provided recently)

    Per my original complaint BetMGM has now requested a statement from my bank account. This bank account was the source of my deposit and is NOT involved in my withdrawal. BetMGM accepted those funds almost four months ago and raised no issues about their legitimacy. I believe I have sufficiently complied with BetMGM's request(s) to establish my identity and providing additional sensitive personal information (about an account not involved in the withdrawal) represents an unnecessary security risk.

    My complaint requests that BetMGM either explain why that (specific) statement is necessary or drop that request and release my funds to the (documented) ****** account.

    I was unaware that this casino was restricted everywhere except the province of *******. When I signed up I entered my address which is in ******* and their system saw no problem with that. I went through the verification process which again includes my address. I received an email say I was verified to deposit, play, and withdraw. I deposited $50 and received a welcome bonus of $50. They took my money and gave me $100 bonus money instead of my $50 plus $50 bonus money. I go to play a game and that is when I am prompted with a message saying I am unable to wager because I am outside the permitted area. So I ****** what the problem is only to find out I am not allowed to play unless I am located in *******. Not once while signing up or them taking my money was I told this.

If youre in a legal province but near the province border, the ocean or in a remote area and there are not enough Wi-Fi signals or cell towers to verify your location, then you may not be able to play games or place bets.
