BetMGM has kicked off 2025 with a strong set of numbers, showing sharp growth in both net revenue and earnings. The joint venture between Entain and MGM Resorts pulled in $1.35bn over the first six months, a 35% rise on last year. EBITDA came in at $109m, a big swing from the loss posted in H1 2024.
Q2 2025 net revenue came in at $692m, up 36% year-on-year, with EBITDA at $86m for the quarter. iGaming net revenue climbed 29% while online sports betting surged 56%.
Total sports betting handle hit $3.4bn in Q2 2025, 25% higher than the same period in 2024. Handle reflects the total online sports handle (inclusive of cash and bonus bets) taken in the period.
Across the half-year, iGaming brought in $891m in net revenue, supported by exclusive content and stronger engagement tools. Online sports betting net revenue reached $422m, up 61% from last year. Average monthly active players were up 6% year-on-year.
BetMGM said its GGR market share sat at 14% in active markets, with iGaming holding 22% and online sports 8%. The company also noted that its $150m credit facility remains unused and no extra cash is expected from its owners.
Sports betting growth was driven by an upgraded product, with more betting options, better parlay features and a smoother app experience. Handle per active player rose 34%, while net gaming revenue per active player jumped 70% in the first half.
The iGaming arm saw more players and longer sessions, with monthly active users up 38% and active player days up 34%.
- BetMGM operates iGaming and Online Sports Betting in five markets and Sports Betting only (combined online and retail) in 24 markets.
- CEO Adam Greenblatt said: “Our stronger than expected performance through H1 2025 positions us well for the rest of the year, reinforcing our confidence in the future.”
Off the back of this momentum, BetMGM raised its full-year guidance. The operator now expects at least $2.7bn in total net revenue and $150m in EBITDA for 2025, while maintaining its medium-term target of $500m EBITDA in future years.
