BetMGM Close To $2 Billion in Revenues For FY 2023

In 2023, BetMGM, the joint venture between Entain and MGM Resorts, achieved impressive success by generating a revenue of nearly $2 billion. The performance falls within the upper end of the company’s projected range of $1.8 billion to $2 billion for the year. Despite expecting negative EBITDA of $67 million for 2023, BetMGM remains on track to achieve a positive EBITDA of $500 million by 2026.

BetMGM witnessed significant improvements in key metrics for iGaming and online sports betting throughout 2023. Average monthly active users, first-time deposits, hold percentages, bonus levels, net gaming revenue per active user, and cost per acquisition all showed positive growth. These metrics indicate the strong organic growth and strategic initiatives executed by BetMGM.

BetMGM expanded its presence across North America, entering a total of 28 markets in the region. In 2023, the company launched operations in Ohio, Massachusetts, and Kentucky, both online and in retail. Additionally, BetMGM rolled out its online platform in Puerto Rico. The company’s expansion is set to continue, with plans in place for a launch in North Carolina pending regulatory approval.

BetMGM currently holds a 14% share of the sports betting and iGaming market in the United States, solidifying its position as a key player in the industry. In Ontario, Canada, BetMGM commands an impressive 22% market share. These figures demonstrate the company’s strong market presence and its ability to attract and retain customers.

BetMGM remains committed to its strategic roadmap, which includes enhancing technology, products, and capabilities across its offerings. In 2023, the company successfully executed the implementation of a single account single wallet system across 21 markets, coinciding with the NFL American football season. BetMGM also expanded its sports betting options, added new markets and bet types, and introduced more games to its iGaming portfolio.

Looking ahead to 2024, BetMGM plans to leverage Angstrom, a specialist sports data provider acquired in July, to support the development of player-popular products such as same game parlay (SGP), SGP+, and new LIVE SGP offerings. The company also aims to deliver more personalized and differentiated gaming experiences while increasing investment in marketing and player acquisition. In addition, BetMGM recently launched a new app in Nevada, enhancing the user experience for its customers.

While BetMGM’s success in 2023 is evident, the update does not mention the company’s launch in the UK market. In August, BetMGM entered the UK market in partnership with LeoVegas. However, BetMGM’s relationship with Entain remains strong, with Entain’s support serving as an endorsement of the joint venture.

In September, MGM Resorts, BetMGM’s parent company, faced a major setback due to a cyberattack. The attack resulted in the shutdown of systems across its US properties, causing a revenue loss of $100 million. Despite this challenge, BetMGM’s overall performance remains highly commendable.
