BetMGM has expanded its Cash Out capabilities and introduced new pricing, injury-protection, and free-to-play features as part of its 2026-27 football season lineup, alongside weekly promotions, rewards, and in-person activities.
The sportsbook’s expanded Cash Out function allows customers to settle eligible wagers before the final outcome is determined. Its Odds Flash feature will offer premium spread pricing on college and professional football, with real-time notifications when odds move on those markets.
BetMGM is also introducing BetDefense, which provides first-quarter injury protection on eligible professional football player prop wagers. Customers receive their stake back in cash if the player is sidelined by injury during the opening quarter. The offer is not available in Alberta, Massachusetts, Ontario, and Puerto Rico.
A new free-to-play game, Ultimate Teams, will allow eligible customers to log in Monday through Friday and reveal daily cards for chances to win prizes during the football season, including a share of a weekly $50,000 Bonus Bets jackpot. Bonus Bets expire in 96 hours.
For new customers, the First Bet Offer provides eligible players with up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their initial wager does not win. Bonus bets are non-withdrawable, expire in seven days, and are subject to additional terms.
The company is also introducing Legendary Thursdays, with exclusive bonuses and special odds connected to Thursday night football games. BetMGM said its sportsbook has also received performance upgrades aimed at delivering faster page loads, smoother navigation and improved responsiveness during live betting.
“Our goal is simple: to give our players everything they need to make the most of football season,” said Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer, BetMGM. “Bettors want more than just a place to make a wager. They want great pricing, memorable experiences, meaningful rewards and opportunities to stay connected to the action all season. It all happens here at BetMGM.”
Outside the sportsbook, the lineup includes football-themed promotions, live dealer games and 20 team-branded casino titles, depending on jurisdiction. Through BetMGM Rewards, customers can convert gameplay into travel, entertainment, hospitality and other real-world experiences.
The recently launched Rewards Hub allows customers to track tier status, access promotions and manage rewards across BetMGM’s ecosystem.
BetMGM is also extending its football activities to physical locations, including the new Tailgate Beach Club at Mandalay Bay, nine retail sportsbooks on the Las Vegas Strip and other locations nationwide. Selected retail sportsbooks will hold free-to-enter, season-long Survivor and Pick’Em contests.
Participants must be 21 or older and an MGM Rewards Member, with additional terms applying. Further details are available through local BetMGM sportsbooks or the company’s Signature Series football contests page.
