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 announced a multiyear partnership with baseball legend and five-time World Series champion Derek Jeter. As BetMGM’s newest brand ambassador, Jeter will appear in national marketing campaigns including the “Legendary Plays” spot, scheduled to premiere on July 15. BetMGM Casino also plans to launch an exclusive Jeter-themed slot game. Currently, there are no other online casino games featuring a current or former professional baseball player.

“BetMGM’s commitment to excellence and overall approach help them stand out as an innovator in their space. They have worked hard to create a real community in their audience. I look forward to working with their team to build connections within their base of players and support the company’s continued growth,” Jeter said.

The Hall of Fame shortstop joins BetMGM’s prestigious roster of sports legends, which includes Barry Sanders, Tim Howard and Wayne Gretzky, among others. Jeter will be featured prominently across advertising campaigns and digital platforms, make appearances at exclusive VIP events and play a key role in promoting BetMGM’s responsible gambling initiatives in both the US and Canada.

Casey Hurbis, Chief Marketing Officer at BetMGM, said: “As BetMGM’s brand continues to evolve, we could not think of a better baseball ambassador to add to our Mount Rushmore of legendary athletes than Derek Jeter. ‘The Captain’s’ universal appeal and proven track record of excellence, both on and off the field, will provide players with extraordinary experiences only available at BetMGM.”

Over his storied 20-year career with the New York Yankees, Jeter earned a reputation as a game-changing athlete, revered for his consistency, clutch performances and leadership. “The Captain” collected more than 3000 hits, won five Gold Gloves and was a 14-time All-Star while serving as the cornerstone of numerous championship teams. His legacy on the field, and his presence off it, continues to inspire generations of baseball fans.

As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets and introduce new features, responsible gaming remains a key focus. Additionally, BetMGM provides 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.
