The Las Vegas Raiders announced Thursday, Sept. 17, that BetMGM, a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and GVC Holdings, is the club’s first Official Sports Betting Partner.
This relationship is an extension of an existing multi-year partnership between the Raiders and MGM Resorts.
“We are pleased to add BetMGM to the MGM Resorts partnership portfolio,” said Raiders President Marc Badain. “The addition of BetMGM will open new levels of engagement for Raiders fans and guests of Allegiant Stadium.”
“We’re thrilled that BetMGM is the first Official Sports Betting Partner of the Las Vegas Raiders,” said BetMGM’s CEO Adam Greenblatt. “This new partnership complements what is already a wonderful and rewarding relationship with MGM Resorts and the Raiders and we look forward to introducing Raiders fans to the excitement of sports betting with BetMGM.”
BetMGM will provide educational information about the BetMGM app to Raiders fans by utilizing various assets. The BetMGM app is available on iOS and Android for Nevada sports fans, who can register for the app by visiting any MGM Resorts Sportsbook in Las Vegas.
“All of us at MGM Resorts are proud to welcome the Raiders and the NFL to Las Vegas. We look forward to providing Raiders fans a world-class sports betting and entertainment experience, both in our BetMGM Sportsbooks and digitally, through the BetMGM mobile app,” MGM Resorts CEO and President Bill Hornbuckle said.
MGM Resorts, in addition to being an official gaming partner of the Raiders, is a Founding Partner of Allegiant Stadium, which includes prominent MGM branding throughout the stadium. There is also an MGM Resorts VIP entrance on the west side of the building, a private MGM Club that features an ultra-exclusive game-viewing experience for Raiders fans, including a luxury lounge, upgraded stadium seating and a full-service premium bar.
MGM Resorts will be the presenting sponsor of the Raiders first-ever regular season game at Allegiant Stadium, scheduled for Sept. 21.
