Baltimore Ravens Name BetMGM as First Official Gaming Partner
The deal is the latest in professional teams aligning with sports betting organizations
Posted On: May 21, 2021 By :The Baltimore Ravens and BetMGM have announced a multi-year partnership that will see BetMGM becoming the Ravens’ first official gaming partner, the latest in a string of NFL teams to capitalize on the spread of legalized sports betting throughout the United States.
The parties will collaborate to create co-branded promotions for Ravens fans and BetMGM signage will be present throughout M&T Bank Stadium, digital media and social media content. Under terms of the partnership, BetMGM will have a private hospitality suite within M&T Bank Stadium and the BetMGM app will feature Ravens specific promotions and marketing campaigns.
“When we began the process of carefully identifying sports betting and digital gaming partners, one of our top priorities was finding unique ways for Ravens fans to further engage with the team,” said Ravens Chief Sales Officer Kevin Rochlitz. “We are excited to partner with BetMGM and look forward to the specialized entertainment experience the company will provide for our fans.”
Maryland residents voted in favor of a referendum to legalize sports betting in November 2020. While mobile and retail sports betting has been legalized, the regulatory framework in the state is currently being established.
