Patrons will be prompted with a confirmation message that selections are correct prior to the selection of the ‘place wagers’ button. Line change notifications may occur at any time during the wager placement process. The system by default accepts more favorable odds and the player must acknowledge or decline any less favorable odds changes. This setting can be adjusted by the player to accept all odds changes for fastest play or remain on the system default of accepting more favorable odds.
  4. For online wagers, if a patron made an inadvertent bet in patron's account due to an error (e.g., inadvertent multiple identical bets), patron must inform BetMGM within 15 minutes of any bet patron placed for BetMGM to consider appropriate adjustments to be made to patron's account.
