Third Circuit rejects Sam Antar’s claims against MGM over gambling losses
A Third Circuit panel upheld the dismissal of Sam Antar’s lawsuit against MGM Resorts over nearly $25 million in online gambling losses. The court found that MGM had no duty of care to prevent compulsive gambling and rejected Antar’s claims that the operator acted unlawfully or misled him with VIP bonuses.
The ruling rejects a claim that casino operators must prevent customers identified as problem gamblers from continuing to bet.
