    Don't think you're right there Lobos, where did you read that?

    When joining they ask you to accept that your money will be held in a separate acct from theirs. Also in their T+Cs:

    9.11. Customers' real money balances are retained in a segregated bank account distinct from those bank accounts used by us to operate our business. The account in which we hold customers’ real money balances is protected in the case of our insolvency. This meets the Gambling Commission of Great Britain's requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the level:

    They are half owned by Entain as well aka Ladbrokes et all, so i don't think i'm too concerned.

      That's good news then. Thought they were owned by Leovegas who are on the 'non protected' list.

        Says on the site, their gambling licence is held by leovegas, so you'd be correct on that

          MGM Resorts International has launched the BetMGM brand in the UK, in partnership with LeoVegas - but not Entain.


          Interesting so they seem to have purchased Leovegas...

          • Just a note that if you want to 'guarantee' the December ?5 boosts on MGM continuing to be available for Cheltenham I'd recommend not making any other horseracing bets with them. Of course if you can leverage the 20% weekend boosts into enough profit to override getting restricted then obviously go for it. I was restricted to winning ?10.26 per horse after having a few winners; had one more winner and am now down to ?5.61 (no idea where they get these random amounts from) so won't be bothering anymore and will just arb the boosts on football.

              Not sure if it's random but I won with my first bet(0.25pt) with MGM and now already restricted to pennies!

                Surely once the bets on, ie. ?5 free bets for December. They can limit you in January, but still have to hold the ?5 bets you had already placed?

                  I think he means winning day to day bets will likely bring about restrictions so when you next try a fiver on the double odds it’s at restricted winnings. So w waste of time.

                  I’ve opened an account and intend on using only for antepost so hopefully won’t suffer same issue
