U.S. gambling operator Caesars Entertainment has been accused of failing to adequately protect customers’ personal data following a reported data breach in 2026, according to tech publication ReadWrite.

The lawsuit was filed in Nevada on behalf of Texas resident Mark Huddleston. He said he has participated in the Caesars Rewards loyalty programme since 2007 and regularly uses the operator’s services both online and offline. According to the filing, the company collected his personal data over that period through betting activity and participation in the programme.

The claimant argues that this is a repeat incident. Caesars Entertainment was previously targeted in a cyberattack in 2023, but the safeguards introduced afterward were insufficient, Huddleston alleges.

According to the complaint, the alleged 2026 breach may have allowed attackers to access at least customers’ contact details and dates of birth. The company has not officially confirmed the incident, and reports of a possible cyberattack have circulated on social media.

Despite the unconfirmed nature of the breach, the claimant is seeking damages, credit monitoring and identity theft protection services, as well as a court order requiring the company to strengthen its cybersecurity measures.

The filing has been submitted as a class-action lawsuit, meaning other customers may join the case if the court grants class certification.

Gambling Park previously reported that the largest shareholder of Wynn Resorts could become the owner of Caesars Entertainment.
