II. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

This section describes specific Personal Information collection and use activities related to the Services.

A. Personal Information You Provide Directly to Us and While Engaging with Our Services. You must register for an online wagering account (a “Wagering Account”) to access and use our Gaming Operations. When you register for a Wagering Account, we will collect the Personal Information you provide (including your name, postal address, e-mail address, and date of birth). We may also ask you for additional information, including your mobile phone number, all or part of your Social Security number, and a government-issued photo identification such as your driver’s license, state identification card, or passport.

When you access, participate in, or otherwise interact with our Services, or otherwise engage with us in connection with our Services, such as requesting more information about our Services, entering sweepstakes or promotions, or communicating with members of our team, we may ask you to provide us with additional Personal Information. When engaging with you via e-mail or chat, in addition to your Personal Information, we will also collect any Personal Information you provide in the content of your interactions with us. Some of this information may be required for us to collect to meet our legal and regulatory obligations or to ensure the security of your account. Please note, if you do not provide us with Personal Information that is required for a particular feature of our Services, such as information we are legally required to collect when you register for a Wagering Account, you may not be able to access, participate in, or otherwise use our Services or certain portions of our Services.

We may also ask you to provide additional information to us to verify your account or identity, enable withdrawals (in certain circumstances), or to update your account information when requested. This information may include government identification, such as your driver’s license, a selfie, or other Personal Information.

B. Gaming and Transaction Information. When you use the Services, we, our Affiliates, and our third-party service providers may collect information about how you interact with our Services, including your bets and wagers, precise physical location, use of rewards points, deposits and withdrawals, payment methods and success/dispute details, and all other interaction associated with your Wagering Account. 

C. Tracking and Technologies and Device Information. When you use the Services, we and our third-party service providers may use cookies (see below), web beacons, tracking pixels, scripts, e-tags, and other technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) to collect and analyze information about you, your device, and your activity. Information collected through Tracking Technologies may include the type of device; browser and operating system you are using; your device identifiers, such as your MAC address; the name you have associated with your device; the unique number associated with your internet connection; your (mobile) telephone number; the websites you visit; your precise geographic location; and your activities within the Services including the links you click, the pages or screens you view, the bandwidth you use, your session time, the number of times you click a page/screen or use a feature of the Services, the date and time you click on a page or use a feature, and the amount of time you spend on a page or using a feature. For account security and fraud prevention we and our third-party service providers may also collect additional device information such as screen height and width, operating system, local time zone, plugins installed, battery level, phone carrier information, motion and proximity information. We respond to “Do Not Track” signals as required by applicable law.

We use cookies to store some information on your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device when you access and use the Services. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or equipment when you visit certain online pages and record your preferences. Cookies allow us to remember things about your visits across the Services, We also use cookies and third-party cookies to monitor and understand traffic to the Services, improve the Services, and make our Services easier and/or more relevant for your use.

We use session replay software on our Services so we can better understand each individual user’s experiences on our Services (like how much time users spend on which pages, which links they click, what they like and don’t like) and use that knowledge to fix bugs on our Services, improve your user experience on our Services, and improve the functionality of our Services. Session replay software allows us to record and play back a user’s journey through our website or mobile app. These session replay services use cookies and other technologies to collect data about the behavior of our users and their devices, in particular the IP address of the device, screen size, device type (“Unique Device Identifiers”), information about the browser used, location (country only), preferred language for displaying our Services, in addition to mouse movement, click information, and text you enter as you navigate through our Services.

D. Location Information. Prior to using our Services, you must consent, through your device, to Location Tracking. There are federal law prohibitions and restrictions relating to wagering on the Internet (including such prohibitions and restrictions set out in 18 U.S.C. §§ 1084 et seq. (“The Wire Act”) and 31 U.S.C. §§ 3163 through 3167 (“UIGEA”)). Each of our Gaming Operations is offered for a specific state or other jurisdiction. It is a federal offense for persons physically located outside of the state or other jurisdiction in which a specific Gaming Operation is offered to engage in any Internet wagering activity through such Gaming Operation. We and our service providers utilize several current technologies, and may use future technologies, that enable us and our service providers to determine the location of devices that engage, or attempt to engage, in any wagering activity through or in connection with our Gaming Operations (collectively, “Location Tracking Technologies”). Location Tracking Technologies allow us to: (i) verify your physical location when you engage, or attempt to engage, in any wagering through or in connection with a specific Gaming Operation;(ii) improve the location-based services utilized by our Services; and (iii) help meet our legal obligations and secure and protect the Services and patron accounts against fraud. Without limiting anything else in this Policy, the Location Tracking Technologies are capable of identifying the precise or near-precise physical location of the computers or Internet-connected devices that engage, or attempt to engage, in any wagering activities through or in connection with our Gaming Operations by accessing the device’s IP address, MAC address, RFID, hardware embedded article/production number, embedded software number (such as UUID, Exif/IPTC/XMP or modern steganography), Wi-Fi positioning system, or device GPS coordinates (collectively, “Location Information”). Without limiting anything else in this Policy, the Location Tracking Technologies will report the Location Information for each any every device you use to engage, or attempt to engage, in any wagering activities through or in connection with our Gaming Operations to us, our service providers and/or regulatory bodies and other applicable government agencies and related entities to ensure you are located in the applicable state or other jurisdiction for the applicable Gaming Operation.

We disclose your Location Information to third parties:

  1. where required by law, including, without limitation, as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, subpoena, warrant, or government agency request.
  2. as necessary or appropriate to investigate, respond to and defend against legal claims, including, without limitation, to protect us against liability.
  3. to protect our property and rights.
  4. for the safety of the public or any person.
  5. to stop any unfair, illegal, unethical, fraudulent, abusive or legally actionable activity, including by sharing with sports governing bodies, sports teams, or third parties investigating fraud, match-fixing, game manipulation, and other unethical or illegal betting-related activity.
  6. to protect the security and integrity of our Gaming Operations and any equipment used to make our Gaming Operations available.
  7. in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of our assets.

You may opt out of, or otherwise withdraw your consent to, our use of the Location Tracking Technologies at any time by turning off the location settings on your applicable devices or by notifying us in writing that you would like to opt out or otherwise withdraw your consent. If you turn off the location settings or opt out or otherwise withdraw your consent, you will not be able to place any internet wagers or access real money games and tournaments via the applicable Gaming Operations.

Location Information is retained for up to ten (10) years as required by applicable regulatory bodies and other government agencies and related entities, as well as state and federal regulations.

E. Affiliate Information. When you register for a BetMGM Account, we will also verify whether you have a current MGM Rewards Account. If you do not have a current MGM Rewards Account, an MGM Rewards Account will be created for you as part of the registration process. You can learn more about the MGM Rewards program by visiting https://mgmresorts.com. You can review the terms and conditions for the MGM Rewards program here and MGM’s privacy practices with respect to the MGM Rewards program here.

We may obtain additional information about you from MGM and casinos, resorts, platforms, and properties that are owned, operated, managed by or affiliated with MGM (collectively “MGM Affiliates”), from our other parent and affiliated companies, including, but not limited to, Entain plc (collectively, with the MGM Affiliates, our “Affiliates”) and from third parties, including our business partners and other companies and individuals that refer you to our Services. This information may include, among other things, information about your interactions with MGM Affiliates, including your hotel stays and casino play at MGM properties, information related to your MGM Rewards Account that we need to make the Services available to you, information to set up your Wagering Account and information necessary to connect your Wagering Account to your account with one or more of our business partners. It may also include information to assist us in meeting our legal and regulatory obligations and ensuring the fairness, security and safety of our Services.

F. Information Collected from Other Sources. We may also receive additional Personal Information about you that is publicly available or otherwise provided by third parties, such as identity verification providers, fraud-prevention providers, financial institutions, consumer reporting agencies, government agencies and databases, and other authoritative data sources. This information may be used to comply with our legal obligations, to validate your identity and your ability to use our Services, and to detect and prevent fraud and/or money laundering. We may also receive your Personal Information if you are referred to us by a friend (where legally permitted) or identified by another third party as a potential BetMGM patron. We may also receive your Personal Information as part of a purchase or acquisition of all or part of another company’s assets as part of a bankruptcy, merger, or other corporate transaction.

We engage service providers to provide certain services to us or to perform certain services on our behalf including analytics, marketing, fulfillment, and to meet our other business needs. In some cases, service providers may collect or be provided with access to your information to perform such services.

We also engage third-party service providers to provide identity verification services; in some cases, these service providers may use biometric information to perform such services. Your consent will be requested before your biometric information will be collected; you may choose not to participate in such collection and we may be able to verify your identity in another way. With your consent, BetMGM’s service providers may compare information from your government identification to a selfie you provide when requested; this analysis may constitute biometric information under certain laws. These biometric identify verification providers will collect and process your biometric information for the time set forth when you provide your consent. You may decline to participate in the biometric analysis, but this may limit your ability to use the Services. The collection and retention of the biometric information collected will be subject to the service provider’s retention policies, which will be available to you prior to processing.

Please note that BetMGM’s collection of biometric information is separate from any biometric identifier or passkey associated with your mobile device for logging in to the Services.

We take reasonable measures to ensure the fairness, security and safety of our Services. We share information with our Affiliates, service providers, state regulators and other government agencies, sports governing bodies, credit bureaus and related entities, and other similar third parties, vendors and service providers to detect, prevent, investigate, and report fraud, unsafe gambling, identity theft, and other potentially unethical, illegal or malicious activity.

We may share all information we collect with any successor to all or part of our business in connection with a transaction involving a sale, purchase, reorganization, merger, or transfer of any our assets or the assets of Affiliates.

G. Your Consent or Instructions

We may share your Personal Information with any third party to whom you consent or instruct us to provide your Personal Information.

IV. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The length of time we retain Personal Information depends on the reason the Personal Information was originally collected, how we use the Personal Information in connection with our operations, and requirements applicable to the Personal Information. This may include, without limitation, retaining Personal Information to:

  • complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected,
  • continue our ongoing business relationship with you,
  • ensure the security and integrity of our Services, and
  • satisfy applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.
