2025 BetMGM Betting Insights Year in Review

As 2025 comes to a wrap, here are some BetMGM betting insights that highlight the year.

The best games for the customers, the most bet events, and the individual athletes who made the most money for bettors highlight just a few of our year-end insights. The data below is all straight bets, and the most profitable refers to the total handle for the book or customers.

The data covers January 1, 2025, through December 15, 2025.

“2025 has been an exceptional year for our sportsbook,” Don Forbes, BetMGM’s Senior Director of Trading, said. “The traditionally slower months this summer were anything but slow with book-friendly MLB outcomes helping propel us to record results. The favorable results combined with our commitment to offering competitive pricing on select NFL and college football games drove extremely strong customer engagement and handle growth, which makes our trading team very proud.”

Here are all the insights.
