NFL Outfit Las Vegas Raiders Claims Sports Betting Deal With BetMGM

MGM Resorts International’s t venture with GVC International, BetMGM, has become the first ever official sports betting partner of the recently founded NFL franchise, Las Vegas Raiders.

This is, in fact, the expansion of the existing multi-year partnership between MGM Resorts and the American football team.

A Treat For Fans

Raiders President, Marc Badain, comments:

“We are pleased to add BetMGM to the MGM Resorts partnership portfolio. The addition of BetMGM will open new levels of engagement for Raiders fans and guests of Allegiant Stadium.”

BetMGM will, as part of this deal…

…use assets to provide educational information about the BetMGM app to Raiders’ fans. Nevada sports fans will sign up for the BetMGM app, which is available on iOS and Android, by visiting any MGM Resorts Sports Book in Las Vegas.

BetMGM’s CEO, Adam Greenblatt, said:

“We’re thrilled that BetMGM is the first Official Sports Betting Partner of The Las Vegas Raiders. 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.”

Long-Time Partners

MGM Resorts has quite the ties with Las Vegas Raiders…

…because, besides being their official gaming partner, they are also a founding partner of Allegiant Stadium, featuring very prominent branding all throughout the venue.

This includes the in-stadium signage and MGM Resorts VIP entrance on the west side of the building.

There is also the private MGM Club in the venue, that offers Raiders fans an ultra-exclusive game-viewing experience that consists of a perm bar with full service, luxury lounge and upgraded stadium seating.

MGM Resorts will present the sponsor of the Raiders’ first regular season game on September 21st, which marks the debut of this team in their new home city.

A Warm Welcome

Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and President of MGM resorts, added his two cents:

“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.”

Allegiant Stadium is a global events destination, located near the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. It is highlighted by the arrival of the Raiders, a legendary NFL team that moved from Oakland to Nevada.

Allegiant Stadium is ideally located for both visitors and locals, fully enclosed and climate controlled with a capacity of 65,000.

The stadium project is expected to generate an economic benefit of $620 million annually, while creating 6,000 permanent jobs in Southern Nevada.
