BetMGM’s Commitment To Responsible Gaming

The integration of GameSense into BetMGM provides players with advice on how to set responsible gaming limits while exposing widespread misunderstandings about gambling.

Additionally, GameSense provides readily available tools for clients and their families to gain support and aid for anyone concerned about problem gambling, as well as fundamental rules explaining how gaming works. Since integrating GameSense onto its platform, BetMGM has informed 100,000-plus clients monthly about responsible gaming through website visits and direct email interaction.
