The like-minded vision both our organizations share will continue to increase the relevance of the NLL and draw a wider audience of fans as we continue the momentum we enjoyed over the last four seasons."
"Lacrosse is a fast-paced, high-scoring, growing sport that presents exciting sports betting opportunities. We are greatly impressed by the management and operations of the NLL as evidenced by its strong roster of team owners," said Scott Butera, President of Interactive Gaming for MGM Resorts. "The NLL is an ideal partner for BetMGM in accessing a fast-growing Lacrosse fan base."
BetMGM will have commercial visibility and other promotional opportunities throughout the NLL regular season and playoffs. In addition, they will create weekly betting lines distributed across all NLL platforms and channels.
Accessible via desktop and mobile, BetMGM features GVC's state-of-the-art betting engine and technology platform.
