BetMGM will continue to serve as the official sports betting partner for the basketball team.
BetMGM has announced that it will continue its partnership with the Philadelphia 76ers for another season. With this multi-year extension, BetMGM will continue as the team’s Official Sports Betting Partner and provide enhanced courtside signage at Wells Fargo Center in addition to hosting VIP fan experiences and watch parties.
BetMGM will provide a variety of premium services to fans throughout the 2023–2024 season, such as courtside access to pregame shootarounds and premium seating at games.
BetMGM’s chief revenue officer, Matt Prevost, reacted positively to the partnership extension by reiterating the company’s commitment to working successfully with the 76ers in the upcoming seasons to improve the overall in-arena and at-home fan experience.
Katie O’Reilly, the chief revenue officer of the Philadelphia 76ers, echoed this sentiment, noting the team’s collaboration with BetMGM to give fans another way to participate in competitive experiences. It would thereby strengthen the team’s hold on the Philadelphia market and provide unique opportunities for BetMGM’s patrons and 76ers followers alike.
MGM Resorts’ Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa President & COO Travis Lunn reaffirmed the establishment’s commitment to providing a fun and safe space for 76ers fans to gamble at the BetMGM Sports Lounge.
