BetMGM just made a big move in the Canadian online gaming world. They’re now the first company to launch their own branded gaming gift cards in major retail stores across Ontario. This gives players in Canada a new, convenient way to fund their gaming accounts – and marks the first time BetMGM’s gift card program has expanded outside the U.S.
BetMGM Launches Branded Gift Cards in Ontario Stores
The rollout is part of a partnership with TAPPP, a company that specializes in payment solutions. Together, they’re bringing this popular option to Canadian players after seeing great success with the program in the U.S. since it launched back in September 2021. There, it quickly caught on with users and became a widely used payment method.
Sandy Agarwal, TAPPP’s Founder & CEO, said this move is an important step forward for both companies as they look to offer more flexible and accessible ways for people to enjoy online gaming.
The partnership uses TAPPP’s know-how in flexible payments to make it easy for players to add funds to their accounts using PIN codes.
BetMGM’s gift card program has already seen great success in the U.S., giving them a strong base to expand internationally. With an impressive 99% redemption rate across 15 states, it’s clear that players find the cards easy to use and reliable. This strong performance has helped BetMGM maintain its spot as a top name in both sports betting and online casino gaming.
Ontario: A Thriving Market for Sports Betting and iGaming
Matt Prevost, BetMGM’s Chief Revenue Officer, spoke about why launching in Ontario is such an important next step:
“Ontario has proved to be a robust market for sports betting and iGaming with BetMGM as one of the top-tier operators. We are proud to be the first to debut sportsbook-branded gift cards and offer players another convenient way to fund their accounts.”
This expansion also lines up with BetMGM’s ongoing commitment to responsible gaming. As part of that effort, they’ve integrated GameSense tools – developed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation – to help players make informed and safer choices while playing.
