BetMGM Launches 2024 Emirates NBA Cup Original Bets Sweepstakes
BetMGM, a leading iGaming operator, sports betting platform, and Authorized Gaming Operator of the NBA, is launching its first Original Bets Sweepstakes for the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup.
BetMGM customers who wager $10 or more on the NBA Cup Original Bets could win the ultimate Las Vegas sports vacation
From November 21-29, BetMGM customers who wager $10 or more on BetMGM’s proprietary NBA Cup Original Bets will have the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime “Las Vegas sports vacation.”
BetMGM will send one winner to Las Vegas for a five-night stay at MGM Grand, provide tickets to the semifinal and championship games, and offer an on-court photo opportunity.
The winner will also receive $2,500 in BetMGM Rewards Points that can be redeemed for a variety of experiences at any MGM Resorts property. However, players must be considered active in order to keep their BetMGM Rewards Points from expiring. Points can expire for individuals on a lower tier status, according to the news release.
“With the Emirates NBA Cup championship returning to our backyard in Las Vegas, it is important for us to create an experience only possible through BetMGM,” said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer of BetMGM.
“This promotion allows guests to explore NBA Original Bets and benefit from our unique connection to MGM Resorts destinations. … [MGM Resorts] is a short walk from T-Mobile Arena.”
Participants can enter the Original Bets Sweepstakes from the home screen or promotions section of the BetMGM mobile app. Any Emirates NBA Cup Original Bet of $10 or more during the promotional period will count as a single entry. Each bet of $10 or more is added into the sweepstakes and counts for up to 25 entries.
Note that the promotional offer is not available in Nevada, New York, Ontario, or Puerto Rico.
iGaming, sports betting platform is offering its free-to-play Fast Break game for the second year
BetMGM’s Original Bets operate via the integration of Angstrom, Entain’s sports modeling and analytics company. Angstrom’s play-by-play, simulation-based pricing models allow BetMGM to provide an extensive list of basketball markets.
Props include both teams to score in the opening minute and three 3-pointers hit in the first three minutes. The Original Bets Sweepstakes offers BetMGM customers another way to engage with the league throughout the 2024-25 NBA season.
For the second year, BetMGM is also offering its free-to-play Fast Break game. Once a day, users can log in and try to score a basket to win a reward. Rewards include parlay boost tokens, odds boost tokens, SGP boost tokens, bonus spins, and bonus bets.
For a reminder, the bonus spins are only available in eligible casino states. Bonus bets are non-withdrawable and expire in 24 hours. The promotional offer cannot be issued to players in Nevada or Puerto Rico as well.
NBA Cup odds have the New York Knicks (+550) favored to win the in-season tournament. The Boston Celtics (+700) hold second-best odds, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers (+800) and Golden State Warriors (+800).
