NBA First U.S. Pro League With A Betting Sponsor
(New York, NY) — Pro basketball is getting together with professional gambling. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced a three-year, 25-million dollar deal with MGM yesterday which will allow it to use league highlights, names, logos, and its direct data feed. Game highlights will appear on MGM’s betting app, which is available in states that allow online betting. MGM also becomes the official gaming partner for the NBA and WNBA. Sports leagues have previously avoided any ties to the gaming industry over fears of games being fixed.
