$45M MGM Resorts data breach class action settlement

MGM Resorts International agreed to a $45 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that two data breaches in 2019 and 2023 compromised consumer information.

The MGM data breach settlement benefits individuals whose private information was compromised in the July 2019 and/or September 2023 data breaches and who were sent a notice of the data breaches from MGM.

According to a class action lawsuit, the MGM Resorts data breach compromised sensitive consumer information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birth dates, driver’s license numbers, military identification numbers, passport numbers and Social Security numbers.

Plaintiffs in the MGM data breach class action lawsuit allege the company could have prevented the breaches through reasonable cybersecurity measures.

MGM Resorts is a global entertainment company that operates hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, Macau, Japan and other locations. MGM has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $45 million settlement to resolve these allegations.

Under the terms of the MGM data breach settlement, class members can receive a minimum flat cash payment, subject to a possible pro-rata increase, based on the type of information compromised:

1. Social security or military identification numbers – a $75 payment.
2. Passport numbers or driver’s license numbers – a $50 payment.
3. Names, addresses and/or dates of birth – a $20 payment.

Class members who experienced documented losses as a result of the MGM Resorts data breach can receive up to $15,000 in reimbursement for fraud, identity theft, professional fees, credit expenses and other losses. This reimbursement is available to all class members, regardless of the type of information that was compromised in the data breaches.

Additionally, all class members can receive one year of free financial account monitoring. This service includes three-bureau identity theft protection, credit monitoring and at least $1 million in fraud and identity theft insurance.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is May 19, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the MGM Resorts settlement is scheduled for June 18, 2025.

In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by June 3, 2025.
