I love hotels and there’s nothing I enjoy more than writing about them. Fortunately, there’s been several opportunities to do so of late–like when Rio Las Vegas announced they were becoming a Hyatt property. Today’s hotel/gaming mashup involves Hyatt’s sworn enemy, Marriott International.
Marriott International’s award-winning travel program, Marriott Bonvoy, and BetMGM, a frontrunner in the sports betting and iGaming world, recently unveiled an industry-first rewards collaboration. This innovative partnership is designed to enhance the game for fans by integrating the realms of online sports betting, iGaming, and travel rewards.
For participants within licensed states, the opportunity to link Marriott Bonvoy and BetMGM accounts introduces a unique rewards ecosystem. Players can now earn BetMGM Rewards points through the BetMGM sports betting app or its acclaimed online casino. These points are exchangeable for Marriott Bonvoy points, with the possibility of converting up to 100,000 points annually. Such a scheme empowers players to redeem these points for remarkable experiences, including stays across Marriott Bonvoy’s extensive network of more than 30 hotel brands and 10,000 destinations worldwide.
BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt remarked:
“The collaboration with Marriott Bonvoy is a monumental differentiator for us. This partnership will extend our brand to millions of potential new customers while offering our players the unique benefit of utilizing their gameplay to tap into the world of Marriott Bonvoy’s unrivaled portfolio of experiences.”
This partnership not only enhances the gaming experience but also elevates the way rewards are earned and enjoyed, seamlessly merging the thrill of gaming with the luxury of travel. Players and guests can effortlessly convert their gaming achievements into travel experiences, making every bet and play count towards their next adventure.
The process of linking accounts and transferring points is designed with user convenience in mind, ensuring a seamless transition from gaming victories to travel rewards. Additionally, linked accounts unlock access to exclusive games, experiences, and offers available only through the BetMGM platform. This integration is accessible through various BetMGM interfaces, including its website, mobile app, and rewards store.
On the other side of this collaboration, Marriott International’s commitment to offering more than just hotel stays is evident. Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International, emphasized the broader vision of this partnership.
“This landmark collaboration between Marriott Bonvoy and BetMGM goes beyond hospitality and gaming, unlocking new opportunities for members to ignite their passions and deepen connections with the people and places they love.”
She also highlighted the enhanced access to Marriott’s portfolio, including exclusive experiences in sports, music, art, and culinary events worldwide, illustrating the company’s dedication to creating deep and meaningful connections.
Celebrating the launch, Marriott Bonvoy and BetMGM are offering an exclusive sweepstakes, rewarding one lucky member and friends with a curated trip to Los Angeles, featuring a unique experience with basketball star Blake Griffin. This once-in-a-lifetime getaway underlines the partnership’s commitment to delivering unforgettable moments.
The announcement also ties in with the MGM Collection by Marriott Bonvoy, enriching the travel program’s offerings with iconic MGM Resorts International destinations. This collaboration extends Marriott Bonvoy’s reach, offering members more ways to earn and redeem points in luxurious settings.
BetMGM’s app enhancements and its extensive online casino library continue to set industry standards, ensuring that players have access to the best in sports betting and iGaming experiences. With operations across numerous markets, BetMGM’s innovative approach redefines the gaming landscape.
This pioneering partnership between Marriott Bonvoy and BetMGM marks a significant milestone in the fusion of gaming and hospitality, promising an enriched experience for members and players alike. For those looking to blend the excitement of gaming with the joys of travel, this collaboration opens up a world of possibilities.
