Recent Actions by Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board

In other news related to Pennsylvania gambling regulation, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) recently imposed fines on BetMGM due to inadequate know-your-customer procedures across its betting platforms. This lack of stringent controls allowed fraudulent activity involving fake accounts and illegal funds.

Moreover, the PGCB has placed 16 individuals on the state’s involuntary self-exclusion list. Notably, four people were banned from gambling for visiting state casinos while leaving their children unattended in the casinos’ parking areas – a strict violation of state regulations due to the associated risks of leaving minors unsupervised.
