BetMGM Establishes Partnerships with Las Vegas Aces & WNBA
BetMGM's first significant partnership with a women's professional sports franchise is with the team just down the street.
One of the industry’s leading sports betting and iGaming operators, BetMGM, has announced it will be the exclusive online casino and sportsbook partner of the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces.
Partnership Details
The agreement, which runs through the 2027 season, will include prominent signage at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and sponsorship of the Aces' social media platforms. It will also include courtside access to pre-game shootarounds and luxury VIP seating for BetMGM players.
At the same time, and through the 2027 season, BetMGM has become an authorized gaming partner of the WNBA. That deal will see BetMGM get commercial space on nationally televised games, the ability to supply WNBA tickets and experiences for its VIP players, co-branded content across BetMGM's digital and social platforms, and articles on wnba.com/WNBABet.
The Aces, two-time WNBA champions, are led by three-time defending league MVP Asia Wilson. In March 2024, Las Vegas became the first WNBA franchise to sell out its season ticket allotment and the first to sell out the entirety of the season.
Coming Soon: BetMGM Exclusive WNBA Online Casino Slot
Leaning on its casino expertise, BetMGM will develop a WNBA-branded online slot game in jurisdictions where its iGaming platform is live. The slot game—the first-ever WNBA online casino game—will be available exclusively at BetMGM.

As we enter this era of tremendous growth in women's sports, BetMGM could not have two better organizations to partner with than the WNBA and the Aces. Not only do the Aces play in our backyard at Mandalay Bay, but they also share our commitment to giving back to the community. –Adam Greenblatt | BetMGM CEO |
DEE-FENSE! DEE-FENSE!
One of the team’s charitable endeavors plays on the team’s defensive prowess, and a new initiative called BetMGM Steals for Meals. For every Aces steal at Michelob ULTRA Arena, BetMGM will donate $50 to the Just One Project, which will provide meals to food-insecure families.
Aces President Nikki Fargas and BetMGM Director of Team and League Partnerships Molly Wurdack-Folt unveiled the program.

The Las Vegas Aces are proud to partner with BetMGM for many reasons, but especially for the they will provide to The Just One Project. As one of the best defenses in the league the past few seasons, especially in front of our home fans, and knowing that each steal will help families in need, this gives our team even more incentive to lock down our opponents on the defensive end. –Nickki Fargas | Las Vegas Aces President |
