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.

Vanauken Lands a Double with Hockey Sticks

On blinds of 500/1,000, the board read {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} when "Johnswell67" check-shoved on Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken who snap-called for his last 64,700 and the two tabled their hands.

Vanauken showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, giving him a set of sevens and was well in front when "Johnswell67" tabled {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a straight draw to win.

The {j-Hearts} river sealed the deal for Vanauken who secured himself a complete double through his opponent early in the day.

Dodd Tries to Climb Back into the Mix

On blinds of 300/600, Daniel "leinad" Buzgon opened to 1,500 from under the gun and Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd defended his big blind to see the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop.

Dodd checked to Buzgon, he bet 1,127 and Dodd check-called. An {a-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn, Dodd checked and again Buzgon fired, this time for 1,800.

Dodd called and a {3-Hearts} completed the board. Action checked through to Buzgon who thought for a moment but in the end, he elected to tap the table behind.

Dodd turned over {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, giving him quads and Buzgon's river check saved him some chips as Dodd scooped with the nuts.
