Those cards are the exit strategy for the fraudsters. Without the ability to add these cards, they have no way to get the money off, and thus will stop stealing from people via BetMGM.

However, even a year later, this massive vulnerability still exists. There should be a strong identity check done before any withdrawal is approved to a newly added card/account!

Additionally, it should NEVER be allowed to withdraw immediately after depositing, without a strong identity check.

While you can perhaps say that this latest round of victims are a bit careless by using the same e-mail/password combination everywhere, BetMGM is EXTREMELY CARELESS by allowing fraudsters to add these debit cards onto breached accounts, and withdraw without any real identity check.

Several people have contacted me over the past few weeks, regarding these account breaches and thefts. All of them admitted that they used the same e-mail/password on BetMGM as they did on other sites, but that's no excuse for BetMGM and Global Payments to be as negligent as they've been, especially after what happened last year.

Everyone is reporting that BetMGM is being very uncooperative with solving this, and nobody seems to be getting their stolen funds back. At best, people are being delayed and told to wait, even with it taking weeks with no update.

I am in the process of speaking with major media about this matter. Hopefully this will light a fire under BetMGM's ass. Stay tuned.
This is fucking laughable.

Offshore online casinos have better withdrawal verifications than this!

Shit, I received a $200 prepaid VISA Gift Card from Cope Rewards and I had to confirm my identity better than that to activate the thing!*
