VIP Parties, Flights and Hotel Stays Up for Grabs in BetMGM Sweepstakes

BetMGM Casino teamed up with Marriott Bonvoy to give eligible players a shot at VIP access to the Sports Illustrated “Beyond the Pitch” party series, culminating in New York City on July 18. The sweepstakes runs through June 21, 2026, and hands out headline prizes — VIP event access, travel, hotel stays, and special dinners — alongside smaller rewards like bonus bets and Marriott Bonvoy points.

How to enter and who’s eligible

To take part, eligible BetMGM users must link their BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy accounts, then place a minimum $10 wager through the BetMGM Sportsbook app or website after linking. Players can submit entries each entry period, with up to 25 entries allowed per entry period. Winners are selected weekly throughout the promotion, so there are multiple chances to win.

Every entrant with at least one entry earns 2,500 Marriott Bonvoy points, and the sweepstakes also includes tiered prizes for other participants.

What winners receive — VIP parties, flights, and hotel stays

The top prizes are built around the Sports Illustrated “Beyond the Pitch” Party finale in New York City. Highlights include:

• Ten grand prize winners, each with a guest, receiving VIP event access, round-trip travel to New York City or travel funds, a three-night stay at Moxy Lower East Side, and dinner at L’Artusi Supper Club.
• Thirty additional participants receiving a $100 bonus bet.
• 2,500 Marriott Bonvoy points for all entrants with at least one entry.

Prizes are designed to deliver an elevated match-day experience—VIP seating, travel convenience, and curated hospitality—rather than guaranteeing any specific betting outcomes.

Why this matters in the United States sports-betting market

The sweepstakes arrives as the 2026 World Cup expands to 104 matches, and more adults in the United States have legal online sports-betting access than ever before. Deutsche Bank projects a total World Cup betting handle in the United States around $3.3 billion, with industry leaders FanDuel and DraftKings expected to lead the market and BetMGM projected at roughly $250 million in handle.

For BetMGM, the promotion supports a broader strategy to position the brand as an entertainment company with a sportsbook attached. Recent moves — like a Bragg Gaming slot content deal and a branded slot based on “The Lion’s Share” debuting on CBS’s The Price Is Right — show the company leaning into cross-media experiences that pair games and live events.

Terms, timing, and what to check before entering

The sweepstakes ends June 21, 2026, and is open only to eligible BetMGM users who meet the linking and wagering requirements. Winners are chosen weekly, and prize details, travel terms, and eligibility rules are spelled out in the official terms and conditions. Bonus bets and promotional credits carry wagering conditions, and standard BetMGM casino welcome offers and wagering rules continue to apply—see the BetMGM Casino welcome offers for specifics about deposit matches and freeplay terms.

This promotion is a limited-time opportunity to score VIP access and travel around a marquee global event. Link your Marriott Bonvoy and BetMGM accounts, place the qualifying $10 wager, and make your entries before the June 21, 2026 deadline to be in the running — and be sure to read the full terms and conditions before you play.
