LAS VEGAS, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A $45 million Settlement has been reached in two class action lawsuits against MGM Resorts International (“Defendant”) arising out of two Data Incidents, one that occurred in or around July 2019, and a second one that occurred in or around September 2023 (together, the “Data Incidents”). Varying amounts of Private Information of customers and guests of Defendant were accessed in the Data Incidents. The Private Information included, names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and, for a smaller number of individuals, drivers’ license numbers, passport numbers, Social Security numbers, and military identification numbers.
Who is Included? The Settlement Class includes all persons in the United States whose Private Information was compromised as a result of the Data Incidents and who were sent notice by the Defendant of the Data Incidents.
What does the Settlement Provide?
Documented Loss Cash Payment: You can file a Claim Form with supporting documentation that you spent money or incurred losses related to the Data Incident for up to $15,000.
Tiered Cash Payment: Certain Settlement Class Members are also eligible to receive a flat cash payment, without providing supporting documentation, depending on what personal information may have been exposed in the Data Incidents. There are three Tiers: (1) Tier 1 payments are estimated to be $75; (2) Tier 2 payments are estimated to be $50; and (3) Tier 3 payments are estimated to be $20. All payments may be adjusted upward or downward depending on the amount of Valid Claims filed. Please visit the website for information on the 3 different Tiered Cash Payments.
Financial Account Monitoring: In addition to Cash Payments, you can elect one year of Financial Account Monitoring.
All Settlement Class Members are eligible to file a Claim for Financial Account Monitoring and a Documented Loss Cash Payment, but not every Settlement Class Member is eligible to file a Claim for a Tiered Cash Payment.
You must submit your Claim Form online or by mail postmarked by June 3, 2025.
Other Options. If you do not want to be bound by the Settlement, you must opt-out by May 19, 2025. If you do not opt-out, you will give up the right to sue and will release the Defendant and Released Parties of legal claims in the lawsuits. If you do not-opt out, you may object to the Settlement by May 19, 2025. The Long Form Notice on the Settlement Website has instructions on how to opt-out or object. If you do nothing, you will get no Settlement Class Member Benefits, and you will be bound by the Settlement, any judgments, and orders. The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on June 18, 2025, to consider whether to approve the Settlement, the requested Service Awards, attorneys’ fees of up to 30% of the $45 million Settlement Fund, costs, and any objections.
