Steelers partner with online sports betting company

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have teamed with BetMGM, the online digital sports betting company, weeks before their Pennsylvania betting platform launches.

According to BetMGM, the partnership makes the digital platform the official sports betting partner of the team.

“We are excited to introduce BetMGM to Steelers Nation,” said Ryan Huzjak, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Not only will BetMGM be elevating some of our existing platforms, but they will be introducing new and exciting opportunities to Steelers fans. We are looking forward to kicking off this partnership.”

BetMGM tells Channel 11 they have received a license to offer online casino and sports betting in Pennsylvania, and are planning on launching their platform in the coming weeks.

Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer, BetMGM said, “Steelers Nation is one of the most passionate fan bases in professional sports and we’re thrilled to bring the excitement of BetMGM to Steelers fans. We’re eager to launch BetMGM’s gaming offering in Pennsylvania and I can’t think of a better way to kick off our entry into the state than through this monumental partnership.”

The announcement comes as the undefeated Steelers are just days away from taking on the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving night on WPXI.
