The American Gambling Awards is pleased to announce BetMGM (NYSE: MGM), a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, is the 2024 “Online Casino of the Year.” This marks BetMGM's third consecutive win in this highly competitive category, reinforcing its position as a leader in the industry.
The American Gambling Awards, produced by Gambling.com Group Limited (Nasdaq: GAMB) ("Gambling.com Group" or the "Group"), honor the top companies and executives shaping the regulated U.S. online gambling landscape and are recognized as a benchmark for excellence in the sector.
“Winning Online Casino of the Year for the third consecutive year is a testament to the hard work of many and our unrelenting drive to deliver the best player experience,” said Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM. “We thank Gambling.com Group for this prestigious recognition. It is another highlight in a year filled with innovative partnerships, more commitments to responsible gaming, and a BetMGM player winning the largest jackpot in U.S. iGaming history.”
In the past year, BetMGM Casino has strengthened its position as a leader in the industry, offering exclusive titles and first-to-market game launches. In 2023, it became the first online casino in the world to launch the land-based favorite Buffalo, and currently holds the U.S. record for the largest progressive jackpot at $6 million in New Jersey. Additionally, BetMGM Casino became the exclusive home of the first NHL, MLB, and NBA-endorsed slot games, while also welcoming headlining titles like The Godfather, Star Trek, and Ace Ventura to its game library.
BetMGM’s success is driven by innovative engagement strategies designed to enhance player retention and optimize bonus spending. Notably, its Super Bowl Spins Giveaway campaign distributed over 1 million bonus spins, leveraging its exclusive NFL partnership to boost customer engagement. Additionally, the MGM Riches campaign rewarded players for both online and on-property play, further integrating the brand’s offerings. BetMGM’s partnership with Marriott Bonvoy also provided customers with expanded rewards options, redeemable at MGM Resorts and Marriott destinations worldwide.
“Congratulations to Adam Greenblatt and the entire BetMGM leadership team on their third consecutive win as Online Casino of the Year at the American Gambling Awards,” said Gambling.com Group co-founder & Chief Executive Officer, Charles Gillespie. “This category has always been fiercely contested and 2024 was no different. BetMGM has consistently distinguished itself through its exclusive game offerings and first-to-market launches, including landmark titles like Buffalo and the NBA-endorsed slot games. Their ability to consistently execute on both the big picture and fine details of delivering their online casino product has led them to this top honor yet again.”
BetMGM’s commitment to driving player engagement and satisfaction is equally matched by its dedication to responsible gaming. The company continues to enhance its award-winning GameSense program and has expanded its pioneering partnership with Kindbridge Behavioral Health, further reinforcing its commitment to player well-being.
