Sports betting and iGaming operator BetMGM has updated its terms of service to prohibit the harassment of athletes.
BetMGM updates terms
According to the official announcement, BetMGM will suspend customer accounts if they’re found using harassing or abusive language toward athletes, coaches, or team and league personnel.
“We are unwavering in our commitment to sports integrity — and that commitment extends to safeguarding athletes, coaches and league personnel,” Rhea Loney, BetMGM’s chief compliance officer, stated. “Our legal, regulated environment enables us to identify misconduct, investigate reports, and take action when necessary.”
Loney then stated at any confirmed instance of harassment will result in decisive measures such as account suspension.
BetMGM has athlete support for updated terms
Barry Sanders, a professional football player and an BetMGM ambassador, weighed in on the updated terms of service as well. Sanders stated that respect is important on and off the field.
“BetMGM is sending a strong message that harassment has no place in sports or sports betting,” Sanders added. “I’m proud to see BetMGM protecting athletes and promoting integrity.”
According to BetMGM, the update supports its responsible gambling initiatives. The announcement stated that the operator integrates educational messaging through GameSense at 10 football stadiums and across its mobile and desktop platforms plus MGM Resorts properties.
