WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- The Washington Nationals announced
today a multi-year, exclusive partnership with BetMGM, a leading
sports betting and digital gaming company. Key details of the
partnership include the opening of a BetMGM Sportsbook connected to
Nationals Park and the launch of a mobile app within the permitted
area around the Park, as well as fan-focused campaigns and
co-branding opportunities.
"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."
The BetMGM Sportsbook will provide a luxury viewing and sports
betting experience that complements the existing experience at the
MGM National Harbor Dugout Club, an eight-seat premier luxury
sports box located on the field adjacent to the team dugout. 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. It will not be accessible by fans while they
are in attendance at a Nationals game, but fans will be able to
place bets via BetMGM's mobile app.
Additionally, as the Official Sports Betting Partner of the
Washington Nationals, BetMGM branding will be featured inside
Nationals Park as well as on the team's social media and digital
platforms. BetMGM and the Nationals will also create exclusive
benefits for members of each partner's loyalty program: MGM
Resorts' M life Rewards and Red Carpet Rewards.
Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue
Officer, BetMGM, said, "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."
Jorge Perez, President & COO,
MGM National Harbor, said, "I can't think of a better extension to
MGM National Harbor's long-standing partnership with the Washington
Nationals. Fans will have the opportunity to experience America's
pastime in the most innovative and exciting way possible. We are
thrilled to continue bringing world-class entertainment to the
DMV."
BetMGM is live in 11 states and is hopeful to launch its
industry leading mobile sportsbook in Virginia in the near future, pending
regulatory approval. As BetMGM continues to expand its sports
betting platforms, responsible gaming education remains a key
focus. BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play
responsibly.
