Last week, BetMGM and Topgolf Entertainment Group announced a new partnership centered around an integrated sports betting and entertainment experience. The two companies will collaborate on marketing and promotional offers through the BetMGM platform at select Topgolf venues and within WGT by Topgolf, the leading online golf game which has been part of the Topgolf family since 2016.

“We look forward to introducing Topgolf guests to the immersive sports betting experience that only BetMGM can provide,” said BetMGM’s Chief Revenue Officer Matt Prevost. “Topgolf is known for offering unique and interactive entertainment options, which our loyal BetMGM users can now access through a variety of exclusive and customized packages.”

The partnership will allow Topgolf and BetMGM to engage with consumers on a large scale while reaching new audiences, both digitally and in-person.

JF Prata, Topgolf Media Chief Operating Officer, said, “We are thrilled to partner with BetMGM as we continue to energize and grow our entertainment communities. Topgolf has always been committed to providing new and exciting experiences to our guests, and this partnership delivers on that while providing our longtime fans, as well as those less familiar with Topgolf, an introduction to a complementary experience with BetMGM.”

Details of the partnership include BetMGM digital branding throughout Topgolf venues in cities where BetMGM operates, including:

  • Topgolf’s marquee Las Vegas location at MGM Grand
  • Indianapolis
  • Nashville
  • Detroit
  • Virginia Beach
  • Denver
  • As well as within the WGT by Topgolf platform.

BetMGM will also activate branding and promotional integrations in additional Topgolf locations as its sports betting and gaming platforms become available in new states.

On blinds of 6,000/12,000, "Turkeyleg" opened to 27,600 from the cutoff and "ScarletRaptor" shoved 95,800 in the small blind. "Stylebender" called from the big blind and "Turkeyleg" stuck around as well to see the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop.

Action checked to "Turkeyleg" who bet 87,400 and "Stylebender" then check-raised to 315,873. "Turkeyleg" shoved for a total of almost 900,000 and "Stylebender" snapped, putting "Turkeyleg" at risk.
