The agreement looks to further enhance MGM Resorts relationship with the Raiders’. The global hospitality and entertainment company has already been announced as a founding partner of the Allegiant Stadium.This means that in addition to the firm’s in-stadia branding and private club, MGM Resorts will also be the presenting sponsor of the Raiders first-ever regular season game at Allegiant Stadium on September 21.
As part of the agreement with BetMGM, the sportsbook will provide educational information of the sportsbook app to Las Vegas Raiders’ fanbase, utilizing a variety of assets along the way.
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.”
