BetMGM Launches Canada’s First Sportsbook-Branded Gift Cards in Ontario
The new programme allows BetMGM customers to fund their sportsbook and iGaming accounts securely via PIN redemption, providing a convenient and accessible alternative to traditional payment methods.
BetMGM has become the first sportsbook operator to introduce branded gift cards in Canada, rolling out its prepaid cards across 2,500 retail locations throughout Ontario in partnership with payment solutions provider Tappp.
The new programme allows BetMGM customers to fund their sportsbook and iGaming accounts securely via PIN redemption, providing a convenient and accessible alternative to traditional payment methods.
Sandy Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Tappp, commented:
"We are constantly seeking new ways to increase the accessibility of our clients' gift card products. Securing the distribution of BetMGM gift cards in Ontario is another exciting first for us, as it opens up an entirely new country for BetMGM and its retail customers."
Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, added:
"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."
The launch mirrors BetMGM’s US gift card programme, which has rapidly expanded to retail locations across 15 states. The Canadian rollout follows a similar model but has been tailored to meet local regulatory requirements — including a $250 weekly deposit cap for prepaid card users.
