BetMGM launches leaderboard contest for Players Era Men’s and Women’s Championships

(PRESS RELEASE) -- As the 2025–26 college basketball season tips off, BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, is bringing the excitement of March hoops to November with a new in-app promotion tied to the Players Era Men’s and Women’s Championships – a multi-day event 24-27 November hosted by MGM Resorts International in Las Vegas.

Running now through 9 November, BetMGM’s “Players Era in Vegas Leaderboard” contest will reward 25 winners with a trip to Las Vegas for the championships, including tournament tickets, a four-night stay at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, and $1,500 in withdrawable funds for travel.

“BetMGM is focused on delivering legendary experiences for sports fans, and the Players Era Men’s and Women’s Championships – right in our Las Vegas backyard – is the ideal stage,” said Raymond Doyle, BetMGM Senior Vice President of Sports. “This promotion gives BetMGM players a chance to show off their skills for an up-close look at one of college basketball’s most exciting events.”

To participate, new and existing players can opt in through the promotions section of the BetMGM app and place qualifying sports bets of at least $10 on any market. Leaderboard points are awarded based on each bet’s odds and outcome — the longer the odds on a winning wager, the more points a player earns.

Eligible bets must have minimum odds of +100 and be received and settled within the promotional window of October 20, 2025 through November 9, 2025. Participants can track their progress in real time via the app’s live leaderboard, which updates as bets are placed and settled. (See https://bit.ly/4oFPqgj for terms.
