BetMGM and Philadelphia 76ers Renew Official Sports Betting Partnership
BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced the renewal of its strategic partnership agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers. Under the agreement, BetMGM will continue as an Official Sports Betting Partner of the team. The multi-year extension includes the addition of BetMGM VIP fan experiences and watch parties, in-market odds boosts, and increased courtside signage at Wells Fargo Center.
“This extension allows us to further enhance the gameday experience for fans, in the arena and at home. We look forward to continuing our rewarding relationship with the 76ers this season and beyond,” Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, said.
Throughout the 2023-24 regular season, BetMGM will curate VIP fan amenities including courtside access to pre-game shootarounds and luxury seating for games. BetMGM customers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will exclusively have access to a 50% live odds boost token during 76ers games.
Katie O’Reilly, Chief Revenue Officer at 76ers, said: “We’re joining forces again with BetMGM to promote another opportunity for fans to embrace competition, just in time for the new season. We are thrilled to build on our continued success here in the Philadelphia market and offer our unique experiences for BetMGM customers and 76ers fans alike.”
BetMGM signage will be featured throughout the arena on the grandstand, videoboard, and courtside LEDs. BetMGM content also will be featured in the 76ers’ social platforms and email campaigns.
MGM Resorts’ Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City continues as an “Official Away Game Host of the 76ers”. The resort will host VIP watch parties for invited guests featuring appearances by 76ers alumni, merchandise giveaways, and more.
Travis Lunn, President & COO of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, said: “It will be great to welcome 76ers fans back to our BetMGM Sports Lounge this season. We’re committed to offering guests an entertaining and responsible gaming experience.”

FanDuel to Eliminate Credit Card Deposits Starting March 2
FanDuel Sportsbook will no longer accept deposits by credit cards beginning March 2, the same step DraftKings Sportsbook took in August.
FanDuel issued a statement saying this decision has been in the works.
“Over the last few months, FanDuel has been evaluating the payment methods that we offer to customers and made the decision to remove credit cards as an option for our Sportsbook, casino and racing product in the United States. This change was made to improve the deposit experience for our customers,” the sportsbook said.
Many sports bettors don’t use credit cards because they are responsible for the fees.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts applauded FanDuel’s actions.
“Last week, I asked sports betting companies about Americans getting scammed by credit card companies when placing sports bets – to the tune of a $10 junk fee just to fund a $20 bet,” Warren posted on social media.
“Glad to see Fanduel take action to protect consumers from these junk fees, joining DraftKings. The rest of the industry should follow suit.”
Two notable sportsbooks with nationwide locations, BetMGM and Caesars, accept credit cards.
FanDuel also announced Jan. 22 a program called “Play with a Plan” to encourage responsible wagering. Bettors are able to track their account activity, set spending limits and establish deposit notifications.

BetMGM Updates Anti-Harassment Policy to Protect Athletes
BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, has updated its terms of service to explicitly prohibit athlete harassment. Under the revised terms, BetMGM will suspend a customer’s account if the customer is found to have used harassing or abusive language toward athletes, coaches, or team or league personnel.
While the operator’s previous terms allowed account suspension for any lawful reason, including harassment, the update provides even more clarity around the policy and underscores BetMGM’s commitment to sports integrity and player safety. Updates to the terms of service are subject to regulatory approval as required.
“We are unwavering in our commitment to sports integrity — and that commitment extends to safeguarding athletes, coaches and league personnel. Our legal, regulated environment enables us to identify misconduct, investigate reports, and take action when necessary. Any confirmed instance of harassment will result in decisive measures, including account suspension,” said Rhea Loney, BetMGM’s Chief Compliance Officer.
Football legend and BetMGM ambassador Barry Sanders said: “As a professional athlete, I know how important respect is — both on and off the field. BetMGM is sending a strong message that harassment has no place in sports or sports betting. I’m proud to see BetMGM protecting athletes and promoting integrity.”
This update aligns with BetMGM’s broader responsible gambling initiatives, including the integration of educational messaging through GameSense at 10 football stadiums nationwide. GameSense is an industry-leading program developed and licensed to MGM Resorts International and BetMGM by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. The program is integrated across BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, as well as MGM Resorts properties nationwide, providing practical tips and promoting positive, transparent, and proactive engagement around responsible play. BetMGM offers a variety of responsible gambling tools including the ability to set time and spending limits.
