Adam Greenblatt, BetMGM CEO, noted that they were committed to leading the industry in promoting responsible gaming. The CEO added that as the legalized sports betting and online gaming industry continued to expand, it was vital for BetMGM to equip players with tools and resources for how to play in a responsible and safe manner and make a significant commitment to showcasing responsible gaming in their advertising.
Greenblatt noted that while this announcement was a significant step forward, one that they hoped other operators would follow, they also knew that was just the start; research would make an important contribution to tackling problem gambling.
