BetMGM will also benefit from the agreement. As an official partner of the franchise, BetMGM will be able to use the Pittsburg Steelers' intellectual property in the form of logos and other graphic materials, as well as share them on social media and use them in marketing communications.
Extensive programming and fan-focused initiatives
More interesting aspects of the deal include, but are not limited to, daily and weekly media including "The Point After," "Players Show," "Preview Show" and "In the Locker Room Show with Tunch & Wolf" designed to bring closeted fans to their favorite team.
There will be many other initiatives, including a TV spot during the weekly press conference Mike Tomlin held on Tuesdays. Two other programming opportunities include the Steelers Weekly and Mike Tomlin programs.
The exciting fan initiative includes a "Decade of Black and Gold" that will determine one winner, who will then receive two club-level season tickets and two special VIP Hospitality Tent Passes available for 10 years, so the lucky winner may never miss a game if they choose not to.
Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, was equally excited about the news, arguing that Steelers Nation is one of the NFL's most active and passionate fans. Prevost said that at this point, he can't think of another great partner to work with in the NFL.
