BetMGM is giving fans half a million reasons to cheer for the red, white, and blue.
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off across North America, the sportsbook operator has unveiled its Goal Rush Grand Prize promotion.
Every time the U.S. men’s national team scores during the tournament, BetMGM will release a $500,000 pool of bonus bets for eligible players to share.
Matt Prevost, chief revenue officer at BetMGM, said the company thrives on bringing legendary moments to life, and there is no bigger stage in sports than the FIFA World Cup. “We’re giving our players the opportunity to connect directly to the action with every goal scored by Team USA,” he added in a BetMGM news release.
For bettors backing the U.S. men’s national team, every scoring opportunity could carry even more excitement.
