MGM Resorts International and BetMGM announced that they are once again partnering with the American Gaming Association (AGA) to promote Responsible Gaming Education Month (RGEM 2025) this September.

For the third consecutive year, GameSense messaging will appear at select NFL stadiums on LED ribbons—including one new venue this upcoming football season. Also new for the 2025 season, these messages will be featured prominently on stadium scoreboards during pre-game activities and also within gameday magazines. GameSense is an industry-leading responsible gaming program first developed and licensed to MGM Resorts in 2017 by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC). The program focuses on positive, transparent, and proactive engagements with guests and customers about how to gamble responsibly.

GameSense messaging will be promoted at the following stadiums:

• Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh Steelers)

• Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas Raiders)

• Empower Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos)

• Ford Field (Detroit Lions)

• GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs)

• Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Eagles)

• M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens)

• MetLife Stadium (New York Jets)

• Nissan Stadium (Tennessee Titans)

• State Farm Stadium (Arizona Cardinals)

“Placing GameSense in league stadiums gives us direct access to millions of fans each week. It’s a powerful platform to promote public awareness and amplify our company’s commitment to provide a safe and informed gambling experience,” said Rhea Loney, Chief Compliance Officer at BetMGM.

In September, GameSense and the AGA’s Play Smart from the Start messaging will reach guests via digital platforms, retail sportsbooks, Las Vegas marquees, and the new MGM Grand Live Dealer studio. BetMGM Sportsbook messaging will also remind players to “take a time-out” and “budget before you bet,” with QR codes linking to responsible gaming resources.

Trained GameSense Advisors will continue supporting guests at BetMGM Sportsbooks and MGM Rewards desks nationwide. MGM Resorts has now certified over 1900 employees through the GameSense Advisor program, while BetMGM has continued its partnership with EPIC Global Solutions to deliver lived–experience training to all employees.

Also, coinciding with RGEM 2025, MGM Resorts announced a $250,000 contribution to the International Center for Responsible Gaming. This donation will support independent, peer–reviewed research that advances best practices aimed at supporting casino employees and player protection strategies.

Stephen Martino, SVP and Chief Compliance Officer at MGM Resorts, said: “Investing in our team members through extensive training and scientific research sets higher operational standards and elevates the guest experience. It also supports the long-term sustainability of our business and the communities where we operate.”

Building on that commitment, both MGM Resorts and BetMGM continue to support the AGA’s “Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly.” public-service campaign, which educates both new and experienced sports bettors on safe wagering practices and choosing licensed operators in regulated markets.

Joe Maloney, SVP of Strategic Communications at American Gaming Association, said: “Collaboration plays a vital role in enhancing responsible gaming outcomes. We’re proud to partner with MGM Resorts and BetMGM and see firsthand how these efforts are making a meaningful difference.”

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, unveiled the next evolution of its brand in collaboration with leading independent ad agency Highdive. The refreshed brand identity highlights BetMGM’s dynamic entertainment ecosystem — one that unlocks a world of possibilities, elevated experiences and exceptional hospitality. Bringing the brand to life, the new “Make it Legendary” campaign is anchored by a series of multi-channel spots featuring BetMGM’s newest brand ambassador: EMMY® Award and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Jon Hamm.

“This isn’t just a campaign — it’s a reimagining of what BetMGM stands for. We’re at the forefront of entertainment and gaming, with the spirit of Las Vegas woven into our DNA,” said Casey Hurbis, Chief Marketing Officer, BetMGM. “Our new positioning celebrates the thrill, spectacle and storytelling potential in every spin, play and reward. With Jon Hamm’s talent and universal appeal, he’s a natural fit to represent the refined essence of our brand.”

Highdive worked hand-in-hand with BetMGM’s creative team on the transformation, informed by extensive customer research. The first of six new spots is scheduled to premiere Saturday, Aug. 30 during college football games, with additional spots rolling out across TV, social, digital, out-of-home and BetMGM properties nationwide. Directed by two-time Directors Guild of America Director of the Year Noam Murro, the spots leverage Hamm’s charisma and storytelling charm to make every interaction feel like an elevated experience.

Hamm said, “BetMGM is all about style, and the ‘Make it Legendary’ campaign captures that energy. It’s witty, cinematic, and shows that betting with BetMGM is an unmatched experience.”

Mark Gross, co-founder and co-chief creative officer at Highdive, emphasized the strategic depth of the repositioning and said, “We didn’t just create ads — we built a creative platform that gives BetMGM a long-term advantage. This is about storytelling, connection and creating a brand that truly speaks to today’s players, not at them.”

As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets and introduce new features, responsible gaming remains a key focus. Additionally, BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to rely on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM’s already existing responsible gambling tools which serve to provide customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.
