BetMGM has announced the launch of its first Original Bets sweepstakes for the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup. From November 21-29, BetMGM customers who wager $10 or more on NBA Cup Original Bets will have the chance to win a Las Vegas sports vacation, including a five-night stay at MGM Grand and tickets to the semifinal and championship games.

The winner also will receive $2,500 in BetMGM Rewards Points that can be redeemed for a variety of experiences at any MGM Resorts property.

"With the Emirates NBA Cup championship returning to our backyard in Las Vegas, it is important for us to create an experience only possible through BetMGM," BetMGM CRO Matt Prevost said. 

"This promotion allows guests to explore NBA Original Bets and benefit from our unique connection to MGM Resorts destinations that are a short walk from T-Mobile Arena."

Participants can opt in to the Original Bets sweepstakes from the home screen or promotions section of the BetMGM mobile app, with any $10-plus wager counting as a single entry into the sweepstakes for up to 25 entries.

Good to know: BetMGM signed a multi-year deal with Gannett on September 16 to serve as USA Today Sports’ online sportsbook and casino partner

BetMGM's Original Bets are made possible through the integration of Angstrom, Entain's sports modeling and analytics company. 

Angstrom's differentiated play-by-play and simulation-based pricing models allow BetMGM to provide basketball markets such as both teams to score in the first minute and a certain number of three-pointers made within the first three minutes of the game. 

Group play games for the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup will run from November 12 through December 3, with the knockout rounds scheduled to begin on December 10. 

The semifinal and championship games will be played in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena on December 14 and 17.
