This year’s EGR North America Awards saw iGaming and sports betting operator BetMGM take home not one, but two trophies – Sports Betting Operator of the Year and Employer of the Year. It was BetMGM’s first time winning either award, having been named Casino Operator of the Year in both 2022 and 2023.
BetMGM was crowned Sports Betting Operator of the Year for its innovation, growth, and high-quality customer experience. EGR praised the company for its successful partnerships with Marriott Bonvoy and social media platform X, as well as its omnichannel presence during Super Bowl LVIII.
After being recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in New York by Great Place To Work and Fortune magazine earlier this year, the Employer of the Year award went to BetMGM for its commitment to enhancing employee performance. In 2023, the company introduced improved training programs and continued its focus on diversity and inclusion education.
“Winning two EGR North America Awards is a tremendous honor. We have a passionate team at BetMGM dedicated to delivering best-in-class betting experiences which saw exponential leaps in capability this year with unparalleled omnichannel opportunities, enhanced user interface and increased brand visibility,” said BetMGM’s CEO, Adam Greenblatt. “These awards are a tribute to all the hard work and the strong culture that we are building at BetMGM.”
Originally branded as PlayMGM, BetMGM launched in 2018 as a partnership between Entain Holdings and MGM Resorts International. The BetMGM sportsbook is available in 29 states where sports betting is legal, as well as in Ontario, Canada and the UK. BetMGM Casino is live in six U.S. states out of the seven that legalized iGaming.
