Barry Sanders and BetMGM have something in common. Both have experienced success in Michigan.

After BetMGM made mobile app use available in the Wolverine State, the online sportsbook publicized the signing of Sanders last year, a Hall of Fame running back, to a multi-year deal as a celebrity brand ambassador.

โ€œIโ€™m excited to be a part of the BetMGM team and hop on the ride of the fastest-growing sports betting app in the business. Typically, I am the one breaking records in Michigan, but it is amazing to see what BetMGM already has accomplished in my home state.โ€
