BetMGM Publishes FY2022 Business Update

Published

on

 

BetMGM joint owners MGM Resorts and Entain plan to pump another $150m into the company in 2023, amid an update on BetMGM’s FY2022 performance.

The operator said in a trading update that it finished FY2022 with a net revenue of $1.44bn, ahead of prior guidance of over $1.3bn. It is aiming to achieve net revenue from operations of between $1.8bn and $2bn in FY 2023.

BetMGM said it expects EBITDA loss of approximately $440m, in line with prior guidance – and expects to bring EBIDTA positive in the second half of 2023.

Key to the results were higher gross gaming margins resulting from improved customer experience and other product improvements, as well as the fact that Q4 2022 online sports net revenue margin has doubled compared to Q4 2021.

BetMGM expanded its online footprint in 2022 with launches in six US states including Kansas and Maryland, while in January this year it moved into Ohio. Four new retail sportsbooks were also opened.

Adam Greenblatt, chief executive officer of BetMGM, said: “2022 was a year in which we delivered against many key strategic initiatives and achieved several company milestones, including exceeding our financial targets, launching a redesigned BetMGM mobile app and furthering our commitment to responsible gambling.

“With continued and unwavering support from our shareholders, we look to 2023 confident in achieving further key milestones, including $1.8bn to $2bn in net revenue from operations and being EBITDA positive in the second half of 2023.”

BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, was recognized as Sports Betting Operator of the Year and Employer of the Year at the EGR North America Awards 2024. The EGR North America Awards, hosted in New York City on June 27, celebrate excellence in the North American online gaming industry and are considered the premier gaming awards.

“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. These awards are a tribute to all the hard work and the strong culture that we are building at BetMGM,” Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of BetMGM, said.

Sports Betting Operator of the Year is awarded to the operator that brought innovation to the sports betting sector, provided a high-quality player experience and showed evidence of real growth via mobile and web. BetMGM was acknowledged for its ability to innovate and differentiate in a crowded industry, successfully forming strategic partnerships with X and Marriott Bonvoy and capitalizing upon its unique omnichannel advantage in Las Vegas during Super Bowl LVIII. BetMGM parent company Entain’s acquisition of sports pricing and analytics firm Angstrom in 2023 fueled the expansion of BetMGM’s betting library, allowing the operator to produce a broader and more exciting product for the customer.

The Employer of the Year award recognizes the operator or affiliate that demonstrated its commitment to organizational performance improvement through investment in the recruitment, personal and skills development, and motivation of every employee. On the heels of being recognized as a one of this year’s Best Workplaces in New York by Great Place To Work and Fortune, BetMGM once again proved it is building a workplace to attract and retain top talent in the rapidly growing iGaming and sports betting industry. BetMGM prides itself on being an inclusive, value-driven organization that prioritizes true transparency and two-way communication with weekly, virtual all-hands forums and active employee resource groups. In 2023, BetMGM optimized onboarding, enhanced training programs, continued diversity and inclusion learning, and focused on career development and strategic in-sourcing.
