BetMGM is now an official sports betting and online casino partner of the Penguins, after signing a multi-year agreement. The sportsbook operator already has partnerships with Major League Baseball’s Pittsburgh Pirates and the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers.
DraftKings and FanDuel lead the way when talking sportsbooks partnerships with pro sports organizations. But BetMGM has carved out some nice terrain for themselves as well.
BetMGM is the official sportsbook partner of the NFL’s Raiders, Cardinals, Lions, Titans, Ravens, Jets, Broncos, Eagles and Chiefs, as well as the Steelers. They are the official sports betting partner of MLB’s Nationals, Astros, Phillies, Red, Red Sox, Tigers and the Pirates.

On the NBA end BetMGM is the official sports betting partner of the Knicks, 76ers and Pistons. In the WNBA they are the official sports betting partner of the Las Vegas Aces.
Multi-Year Deal
“Pittsburgh is home to some of the most iconic sports franchises,”said Casey Hurbis, BetMGM Chief Marketing Officer. “This latest collaboration with the Penguins builds on our deep ties across the city and opens new opportunities to engage fans through unforgettable experiences at PPG Paints Arena, and beyond.”
With these types of deals, sportsbooks get to tap into the trust factor that fans have with these respective teams, trust that rubs off on the sportsbook brand. There’s all kinds of in-arena advertising. There might be an in-stadium sportsbook lounge for live betting, where the sportsbook would get visibility. The sportsbooks would get online visibility on the team’s digital platforms, even get access to the organization’s fan data.
