MGM Resorts brings GameSense program to NFL stadium
Some form of sports betting will be allowed this season as MGM Resorts brings GameSense, the responsible gaming program developed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), to nine NFL stadiums.
MGM partnered with GameSense in 2017 ahead of the opening of MGM Springfield, Massachusetts. Bay State gaming regulators require their commercial casinos to offer the GameSense program.
MGM later expanded its GameSense licensing and partnership with BCLC to all of its North American properties. Many MGM casinos now offer GameSense kiosks or staffed kiosks to assist with responsible gaming.
GameSense is a player-centered responsible gaming initiative. It encourages players to adopt behaviors and attitudes that reduce the risk of gambling disorder. GameSense provides educational materials on casino games to help players better understand their odds and house edge. Additionally, this resource provides players with the tools to control their games, ensuring that gambling remains a form of entertainment.
GameSense Launch
MGM Resorts announced Thursday that it will roll out its GameSense program to nine NFL stadiums this year.
These venues include Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh Steelers), Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas Raiders), Empower Field at Mile High (Denver Broncos), Ford Field (Detroit Lions), GHEA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs), M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens), MetLife Stadium (New York Jets, New York Giants), Nissan Stadium (Tennessee Titans) and State Farm Stadium (Arizona Cardinals).
All nine states allow online sports betting. MGM operates in all nine markets through its BetMGM sports betting platform. BetMGM is the official sports betting partner of the NFL and sponsors NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”
"This is an extraordinary time as we work with our team partners to raise awareness about responsible gambling," said Rhea Loney, chief compliance officer at BetMGM. "Throughout the season, GameSense will play a key role in reminding fans to be responsible Place your bets.”

An MGM spokesperson said GameSense graphics will appear on stadium screens at nine venues along with BetMGM branding. BetMGM officials pledged earlier this year to strengthen their responsible gambling message across sportsbooks and iGaming operators.
The GameSense sports betting program encourages bettors to learn about various markets such as money lines, point spreads, over/unders, and props.
GameSense recommends bettors decide how much they want to bet and how much they are willing to lose before making their first bet.
"If you lose it, it's gone and you're done." Don't try to win it back, the show stresses. Chasing losses is one of the most common problems that lead to gambling malfunctions.
In addition to bringing GameSense to the NFL industry, MGM and BetMGM also announced that the companies will jointly donate at least $1 million annually to responsible gaming initiatives focused on related research, advocacy and prevention.

NFL owners agreed earlier this year to allow sports betting in stadiums to remain open during games. Only the Washington Commanders' FedEx Field has a stadium sportsbook outside the ticket window.
State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, has a live sports betting site operated by BetMGM.BetMGM Sportsbook at State Farm Stadium is a 17,000-square-foot facility with giant video screens, 27 self-service betting kiosks and staffed sportsbook counters. The venue is open 365 days a year. It is highly recommended that you make a reservation on match day.
While the nine NFL venues that air GameSense News will no longer offer in-game sports betting this year, fans of legal betting age will be able to place bets via mobile devices.
