Golden Nugget - Why do I need Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to sign into my account? (US)

Important Information

Golden Nugget Online Gaming Customer Support will never ask you to confirm a code that was sent to your device. If someone asks you for the code, please change your password immediately.

Players who are geolocated in a state legalized for mobile Casino are required to log into Golden Nugget Online Gaming via two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA is an extra layer of protection for you and helps ensure the ongoing security of your account.

What this means for players using Golden Nugget Online Gaming:

You'll need to provide Golden Nugget Online Gaming with a mobile phone number that can receive SMS text messages.
At each login, you'll receive a unique code for logging into your Golden Nugget Online Gaming account via SMS to the mobile number you provided.
You won't be able to access your Golden Nugget Online Gaming account without entering a correct username, password, or 2FA code.
