Insights
This exclusive partnership represents a strategic move in the competitive iGaming space. BetMGM's acquisition of exclusive rights to two of North America's most recognizable game show brands - The Price is Right and Family Feud - provides significant competitive advantages in player acquisition and retention. The deal's value lies in its potential to attract casual gamers who are familiar with these household names but may not be traditional casino players.
Looking at BetMGM's current portfolio of 3,500 titles, these additions will differentiate their offering in a crowded market. The integration of well-known TV properties into casino games has historically shown strong performance metrics, as seen with Wheel of Fortune slots in land-based casinos. This cross-media approach, combined with planned TV show integrations, creates a powerful marketing funnel that could significantly reduce customer acquisition costs.
For context in simple terms: Imagine if Netflix made movies that you could only watch on their platform - that's what BetMGM is doing with these game shows in the gambling world. They're getting exclusive rights to make gambling games based on shows that millions of people already know and love, which could help them attract more customers without spending as much on advertising.
The multi-year exclusivity agreement with Fremantle is particularly valuable given the enduring popularity and multi-generational appeal of these properties. Family Feud averages around 6 million daily viewers, while The Price is Right has maintained its position as daytime TV's #1 rated series. The deal's structure, incorporating both digital gaming rights and TV show integrations, maximizes cross-platform synergies.
Think of this like having the only store allowed to sell Star Wars toys - that's the kind of exclusive advantage BetMGM now has with these game shows in the online casino world. The planned TV integrations mean they can advertise their casino games directly to millions of viewers who already love these shows, creating a natural bridge between traditional television and online gaming.
Collaboration will bring bespoke content and never-before-seen show integrations
"This partnership unlocks various ways for BetMGM and Fremantle to collaborate and expand our brand," said Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer, BetMGM. "'Family Feud' and 'The Price is Right' are two of the most popular game shows in
During select weeks throughout the upcoming seasons, BetMGM will be featured as a sponsor with exclusive, never-before-seen partnership integrations for "Family Feud" and "The Price is Right." Throughout 2025 BetMGM and Fremantle will reveal additional details on these planned partnership activations.
Suzanne Lopez, COO of Fremantle North America, said, "Our exclusive deal with BetMGM and our premier game show IP represents a significant milestone for us both. This innovative collaboration paves the way for in-game branding across diverse online casino categories, while also providing opportunities for integrated TV sponsorships. It's all about enhancing how fans of "The Price Is Right" and "Family Feud" connect with the shows in fresh, immersive ways."
The company's award-winning online casino is home to over 3,500 titles across North American markets and one of the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot networks. BetMGM's jackpot network currently consists of more than 20 game titles including popular games such as MGM Grand Millions, Bison Fury, and Loot'En Khamun and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets and introduce new features, responsible gaming remains a key focus. Additionally, BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the integration within BetMGM's mobile and desktop platforms, customers can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to rely on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM's already existing responsible gambling tools which serve to provide customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.
The partnership between BetMGM and Fremantle was brokered by Erica Gadecki and her team at Fremantle and Simon Murphy at PrimeTime Play.
