Companies also announce $250,000 research contribution and certification of more than 1,900 GameSense Advisors     

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) ("MGM Resorts" or the "Company") and BetMGM announced today 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) *new for 2025*
• 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," said Rhea Loney, Chief Compliance Officer, BetMGM. "It's a powerful platform to promote public awareness and amplify our company's commitment to provide a safe and informed gambling experience."

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 1,900 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 is announcing 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, 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 Strategic Communications, 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."
