In Jersey City on Thursday, BetMGM received RG Check acknowledgement from the Responsible Gaming Council (RGC), a Canadian nonprofit. The award recognizes BetMGM’s incorporation of responsible gaming and player protection protocols, such as GameSense, into its online platform.

These were measured against MGM’s Borgata Online, Ontario igaming, and U.S. internet-gambling operations and found worthy,
The panel adjudicating BetMGM’s operations was composed of University of Victoria adjunct professor George L. Morfitt, a former auditor general of British Columbia, and Dan Perrins, a senior fellow at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Regina in Saskatchewan. According to the Council’s website, “RG Check Accreditation is valid for a three-year period, at which point operators may apply for reaccreditation.”
BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt reacted to the accolade by saying, “This accreditation is a testament to our ongoing efforts to promote responsibility throughout our business and to ensure the well-being of our customers. We will continue to work closely with the RGC and other industry partners to promote a culture of safe and enjoyable gambling.”
Added RGC CEO Shelley White, “This accomplishment is a clear demonstration that BetMGM has a strong commitment to responsible gambling and player safety.”
