    Net Revenue of $667 million, up +23% YoY
  • iGaming Net Revenue up +21% YoY and Online Sports Net Revenue up +36% YoY
  • EBITDA of $41 million, up +$57 million YoY
  • Ongoing successful execution of BetMGM's refined player engagement strategy supported by further enhanced product and user experiences delivered growth in player activity and retention
    Increased FY25 guidance to Net Revenue of at least $2.75 billion and EBITDA of approximately $200 million
  • BetMGM expects to distribute at least $200 million to parents before end of 2025

Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of BetMGM, commented:
"BetMGM's momentum from H1 continued into Q3, underpinned by the ongoing execution of our strategic plan. The execution in operations we have described this year – improved marketing efficiency, player management, brand positioning, and product and platform improvements – all contributed to our strong revenue growth and material cash flow increase from both sides of the business. Strong underlying metrics and margin outperformance during July and August support our confidence in raising guidance for full year 2025. Furthermore, we have reached yet another inflection point in our journey, returning operating cash flow back to Entain and MGM Resorts. My previous statements that BetMGM is healthier than it has ever been still ring loudly, and our stronger than expected performance through Q3 positions us well for the rest of the year and into 2026."

(Sweepstakes Casinos, Poker) - ClubWPT Gold Vows to Stay in California Despite Sweepstakes Ban Signed Into Law - Assembly Bill 831, a measure aimed at banning online sweepstakes gambling — including sweepstakes-based poker - was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom over the weekend. One company is vowing to stay put however.

  • ClubWPT Gold. The site, which counts high-profile players such as Doug Polk among its ambassadors, recently switched from the dual-currency model used by the majority of sweepstakes operators to a new, apparently unique system.
  • Following ClubWPT Gold’s acquisition of the training platform Upswing Poker — previously owned by Polk — it has positioned itself as a more educational proposition. Users can still play for and with ‘chips’, which can be withdrawn as real currency, but instead of offering them with purchases of play money they come as packages with automated hand analysis credits. Read more about ClubWPT Gold's switch here.
  • ‘We are aware of the new California legislation scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026,’ reads a statement from ClubWPT Gold on its website. ‘In preparation, our team has been proactively making updates to the platform and developing new features to align with the upcoming legislative change. We are committed to continuing to operate in compliance with California law.’
  • The new legislation comes into effect on January 1, 2026.
