The Washington Nationals and BetMGM, a leading sports betting and digital gaming company, announced a multi-year, exclusive partnership.
A BetMGM Sportsbook will open connected to Nationals Park; they will also launch a mobile app within the permitted area around the Park, in addition to co-branded opportunities and fan-focused campaigns.
The BetMGM Sportsbook will provide a sports betting experience that complements the existing experience at the MGM National Harbor Dugout Club in addition to providing luxury viewing at the Park. The newly created Sportsbook will be located in the space currently serving as Center Field Social, across Center Field Plaza from the Nationals team store. While it won’t be accessible by fans attending a Nationals game, fans will be able to place legal sports bets through BetMGM’s mobile app.
“The Nationals are thrilled to expand our strong partnership with MGM Resorts into the sports betting realm,” said Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating Officer of Lerner Sports Group. “As our Official Sports Betting Partner, BetMGM will further enhance the greatest in-venue fan experience in Washington, D.C. through its state-of-the-art entertainment products and services. The BetMGM mobile app will enable our fans to engage with the game in new and exciting ways, while the BetMGM Sportsbook connected to Nationals Park will provide Nationals fans and the D.C. community with a first-class gathering place to celebrate their passion for sports together.”
“This new partnership with the Nationals is our most in-depth partnership with a team and showcases the multitude of ways we’re able to engage fans in and out of stadiums. We’re extremely excited to work together to create unique experiences for Nationals fans and the broader D.C. metro area during and after games,” said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer of BetMGM.
MGM Resorts is also an official gaming partner of the MLB.
