BetMGM is adding a familiar TV brand to its US online casino lineup while rolling out a series of new NFL features across its sportsbook, giving customers more ways to stay inside the operator’s ecosystem.
The MGM Resorts and Entain joint venture has secured exclusive online casino rights to The Traitors through a deal with All3Media International, part of Banijay Entertainment. Its first release, The Traitors Faithful Riches, is already live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and West Virginia.
The slot is also available through Borgata Online in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, giving BetMGM another branded casino title just as the US version of The Traitors franchise heads into a new chapter.
Developed by Aurum Signature Studios, The Traitors Faithful Riches uses a 5×4 grid and includes features called The Traitors Bonus and The Traitor Feature.
BetMGM is not treating the agreement as a one-off branded game. Television and movie IP has become an important part of its casino content strategy, and the operator sees The Traitors as the foundation of a longer-term iGaming franchise.
The timing is useful too. The Traitors: New Blood is due to launch in the US, giving BetMGM a major piece of entertainment IP to work with while interest in the franchise remains high.
The casino push comes alongside a substantial refresh of BetMGM’s NFL offering. Its new free-to-play Ultimate Teams game rewards weekday logins with daily cards, while players can compete for a share of a weekly $50,000 Bonus Bets jackpot. Legendary Thursdays adds football-related bonuses and odds to create a recurring promotion around Thursday games.
BetDefense is another new feature, offering players their player-prop stake back when a selected player suffers an injury during the first quarter. Odds Flash will send notifications when college and professional football odds move.
Moreover, BetMGM is adding 20 team-branded casino games and live dealer options, giving the sportsbook audience another reason to explore its gaming products.
The latest launches come during an increasingly competitive period for US sports betting and online gaming. BetMGM is also upgrading its platform, citing faster loading, smoother navigation and improved responsiveness, while the company has been reassessing its 2027 EBITDA target amid the growing impact of prediction markets.
That makes the strategy behind The Traitors deal particularly interesting. BetMGM is not simply adding another slot to its casino lobby. It is building a broader content offering that stretches from major sports to television franchises and links those experiences across its betting and gaming platforms.
