Olivia Harlan Dekker has signed a long-term deal with BetMGM as a host and media personality.

Dekker joined BetMGM in March as host of Unleashed, a weekly sports and entertainment podcast. She is now taking on an expanded role with the King of Sportsbooks.

I am so excited to join the world-class leader in sports gambling and entertainment. It is a new and inspiring challenge in my career trajectory, and I feel so fortunate to be a part of the industry's movement and future in betting. The content creation at BetMGM is second to none, and I look forward to big interviews, events, and projects this year.

In addition to her role with Unleashed, Dekker will be the face of BetMGM content throughout the football season, delivering unique access and unmatched video content to sports fans. She is also the host of BetMGM’s #FuturesFriday show on Twitter and will soon launch a new weekly show on Twitter Spaces.

My background and contacts in sideline reporting and hosting will be put to good use as I cover the NFL, and report on weekly sports stories throughout the year on our podcast, Unleashed by BetMGM. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue doing what I love at a new home!
