BetMGM becomes Las Vegas Aces’ online casino and sportsbook partner
The company has signed a deal with the Women’s National Basketball Association team.
US.- BetMGM has signed a partnership with the Las Vegas Aces to become the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) team’s exclusive online casino and sportsbook partner. The agreement runs through the 2027 season.
The brand will get signage at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and sponsorship across Aces social media platforms. BetMGM players will have courtside access to pregame shootarounds and luxury seating for VIPs.
BetMGM will also serve as an authorised gaming partner. It will receive commercial inventory on nationally televised games, WNBA tickets and experiences for its VIP players, the rights to co-branded content across BetMGM’s digital and social platforms and online articles on the association’s website.
The operator plans to release a WNBA-branded online slot game in jurisdictions where its igaming platform is live. This will be the first WNBA online casino game.
Adam Greenblatt, BetMGM CEO said: “As we enter this era of tremendous growth in women’s sports, BetMGM could not have two better organizations to partner with than the WNBA and the Aces. Not only do the Aces play in our backyard at Mandalay Bay, but they share our commitment to giving back to the community.”
BetMGM and Las Vegas Aces are also supporting The Just One Project, a nonprofit that aims to increase access to food, resources and support services in Southwest Nevada.
Aces president Nikki Fargas commented: “The Las Vegas Aces are proud to partner with BetMGM for many reasons, but especially for the support they will provide to The Just One Project. As one of the best defenses in the league the past few seasons, especially in front of our home fans, and knowing that each steal will help families in need, this gives our team even more incentive to lock down our opponents on the defensive end.”
Lance Evans, SVP Sports and Sponsorships, MGM Resorts, added: “Since 2018, the Las Vegas Aces have played a pivotal role in our city’s growth as a global sports and entertainment destination. Together with BetMGM, we look forward to hosting gameday events at Mandalay Bay, as well as our other properties, allowing local and visiting fans to interact with their favorite basketball teams.”
WNBA chief growth officer Colie Edison said: “On the heels of an incredible 2024 season when WNBA delivered significant growth in all areas of fan engagement, and with so much excitement surrounding the 2025 season, we want to continue to lean into betting and finding new and innovative ways to engage with our fans and provide the experiences they want.”
