MGM Begins an Inquiry with the Assistance of ‘Cybersecurity Professionals.’
The MGM Resorts website is “currently unavailable,” and the MGM Rewards app is “undergoing maintenance.” Services conducted through either platform, such as digital room keys or reservations for hotels with Borgata Atlantic City, were not working as of Monday afternoon.
On Monday morning, the Las Vegas-based firm posted a statement on X (previously Twitter) stating that it “promptly” launched an inquiry “with assistance from prominent external cybersecurity experts.”
MGM also notified authorities and “took prompt action for safeguarding our systems and data, involving shutting down certain systems.”

The Issue has No Effect on NJ Online Casinos or Sportsbooks
The cybersecurity issue does not affect BetMGM Online Casino NJ or BetMGM Sportsbook NJ in New Jersey.
MGM Resorts and Entain plc jointly own BetMGM. Borgata’s branded Borgata Online Casino NJ and Borgata Sportsbook NJ sites are unaffected as well. According to rumors, the FBI is now collaborating with MGM as the inquiry progresses.
