DraftKings not only sports betting platform dealing with hackers

DraftKings isn’t the only sports betting platform that has been hacked.
Multiple sports betting platforms have seen increased unauthorized activity in accounts, resulting in funds disappearing, according to Front Office Sports. And the sports betting industry is bracing for more hackers attacking accounts, too.
Front Office Sports added the two ways most scammers have been committing fraud: Finding personal and banking information to create an account on one of the betting sites from the dark web or using email addresses and passwords that matched compromised login information on other sites to access existing betting accounts.

DraftKings is catching lots of heat from customers who were hacked, with close to $300,000 in funds being affected.
Customers affected were locked out of their accounts and some had sizable withdrawals from accounts, all while a direct customer service number wasn’t found. However, DraftKings doesn’t believe they were directly hacked.
“DraftKings is aware that some customers are experiencing irregular activity with their accounts,” Paul Liberman, co-founder of DraftKings, said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. “We currently believe that the login information of these customers was compromised on other websites and then used to access their DraftKings accounts where they used the same login information. We have seen no evidence that DraftKings’ systems were breached to obtain this information. We have identified less than $300,000 of customer funds that were affected, and we intend to make whole any customer that was impacted.
DRAFTKINGS CEO: INVESTORS MISSING A GOOD BET
“We strongly encourage customers to use unique passwords for DraftKings and all other sites, and we strongly recommend that customers do not share their passwords with anyone, including third party sites for the purposes of tracking betting information on DraftKings and other betting apps.”
FanDuel also sent out an email to its customers, warning “of a hack impacting some other sports betting websites.”
BetMGM and others have been contacted by customers about being affected by hackers.
“We are aware of the report and are actively investigating the matter, working closely with our risk, payments and compliance teams,” BetMGM said in a statement to Front Office Sports. “Player safety and security is of utmost importance to us.”

Stories from customers said that, despite having two-factor authentication, hackers were able to change the account’s phone numbers. So, the code needed to log in to the account will go the hacker’s phone instead.
Due to the situation, DraftKings stock took a bit of a dive on Monday, with DraftKings later acknowledging the hacking.
“We are aware of reports of customers having issues with their accounts, and we are investigating,” they tweeted. “If any customers are having issues with their accounts, please contact Customer Experience Team at [email protected].”

BetMGM Partners with Fremantle to Launch New “The Price is Right” Game

BetMGM and Fremantle, a world leader in creating, producing and distributing entertainment content, announced the introduction of “The Lion’s Share,” a new pricing game for “The Price is Right,” television’s longest-consecutive running game show. BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, will sponsor the game throughout the show’s 54th season. “The Lion’s Share” is the first custom-branded game in the show’s history and will debut Monday, Sept. 22 in the premiere episode on CBS.
“BetMGM is always looking for ways to create legendary moments. This collaboration combines the legacy of an iconic gameshow with the excitement of the BetMGM brand. The rarity of a new pricing game and the opportunity for players to win one of the largest prizes in the show’s history reflects BetMGM’s focus on bringing a world of unmatched entertainment to our players,” Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, said.
“The Lion’s Share” game was created as part of the partnership between BetMGM and Fremantle and is the first new pricing game to be added to the show since 2021. Contestants will have an opportunity to win up to $500,000 in cash, cars, trips, and prizes. The game begins with a challenge, where players judge if the prices of everyday items are correct. Each right answer earns them a ball, for a maximum of five. They then step into a wind tunnel chamber to collect the number of balls they’ve earned, with each ball corresponding to a particular prize, or possibly a “Lose It All” option. Contestants reveal their prizes one at a time or may stop at any point to keep what they’ve won.
“It’s an exciting moment when a new game is added. Partnering with BetMGM, a brand known for innovation in games and entertainment, is the perfect collaboration. We look forward to bringing a fresh energy to a timeless format, while honoring the iconic gameplay fans know and love,” Suzanne Lopez, COO of Fremantle, said.
In January 2025, BetMGM announced a multi-year agreement with Fremantle that secured the intellectual property rights for iconic game shows “The Price is Right” and “Family Feud” for slots, table games and non-traditional casino games. The Price is Right Big Wheel Bonus is now available exclusively at BetMGM Casino platforms. The Price is Right Fortune Pick and The Price is Right Gold Blitz Ultimate are scheduled to debut in September. Other titles scheduled during the fall include Cliff Hangers, Plinko, The Big Wheel, and Pathfinder. In addition, a “Lion’s Share” online casino game is in development with a planned 2026 release.
BetMGM’s award-winning online casino is home to over 5400 titles across North American markets and one of the largest state-by-state exclusive progressive jackpot networks. BetMGM’s jackpot network currently consists of over 25 games including popular titles such as MGM Grand Millions, Bison Fury, and 15 Lanterns. Players can earn BetMGM Rewards Points and Tier Credits by playing at BetMGM Casino. BetMGM Rewards points can be redeemed for digital bonuses, MGM Rewards Points, and Marriott Bonvoy Points.

MGM Resorts & BETMGM Expand Responsible Gaming Presence with Increased GameSense Messaging in NFL Stadiums

MGM Resorts International and BetMGM announced that they are once again partnering with the American Gaming Association (AGA) to promote Responsible Gaming Education Month (RGEM 2025) this September.
For the third consecutive year, GameSense messaging will appear at select NFL stadiums on LED ribbons—including one new venue this upcoming football season. Also new for the 2025 season, these messages will be featured prominently on stadium scoreboards during pre-game activities and also within gameday magazines. GameSense is an industry-leading responsible gaming program first developed and licensed to MGM Resorts in 2017 by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC). The program focuses on positive, transparent, and proactive engagements with guests and customers about how to gamble responsibly.
GameSense messaging will be promoted at the following stadiums:
• Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh Steelers)
• Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas Raiders)
• Empower Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos)
• Ford Field (Detroit Lions)
• GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs)
• Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Eagles)
• M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens)
• MetLife Stadium (New York Jets)
• Nissan Stadium (Tennessee Titans)
• State Farm Stadium (Arizona Cardinals)
“Placing GameSense in league stadiums gives us direct access to millions of fans each week. It’s a powerful platform to promote public awareness and amplify our company’s commitment to provide a safe and informed gambling experience,” said Rhea Loney, Chief Compliance Officer at BetMGM.
In September, GameSense and the AGA’s Play Smart from the Start messaging will reach guests via digital platforms, retail sportsbooks, Las Vegas marquees, and the new MGM Grand Live Dealer studio. BetMGM Sportsbook messaging will also remind players to “take a time-out” and “budget before you bet,” with QR codes linking to responsible gaming resources.
Trained GameSense Advisors will continue supporting guests at BetMGM Sportsbooks and MGM Rewards desks nationwide. MGM Resorts has now certified over 1900 employees through the GameSense Advisor program, while BetMGM has continued its partnership with EPIC Global Solutions to deliver lived–experience training to all employees.
Also, coinciding with RGEM 2025, MGM Resorts announced a $250,000 contribution to the International Center for Responsible Gaming. This donation will support independent, peer–reviewed research that advances best practices aimed at supporting casino employees and player protection strategies.
Stephen Martino, SVP and Chief Compliance Officer at MGM Resorts, said: “Investing in our team members through extensive training and scientific research sets higher operational standards and elevates the guest experience. It also supports the long-term sustainability of our business and the communities where we operate.”
Building on that commitment, both MGM Resorts and BetMGM continue to support the AGA’s “Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly.” public-service campaign, which educates both new and experienced sports bettors on safe wagering practices and choosing licensed operators in regulated markets.
Joe Maloney, SVP of Strategic Communications at American Gaming Association, said: “Collaboration plays a vital role in enhancing responsible gaming outcomes. We’re proud to partner with MGM Resorts and BetMGM and see firsthand how these efforts are making a meaningful difference.”
