BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy are running their Vegas Fantasy Draft sweepstakes again this year, and this time around, actor and comedian Rob Riggle is stepping in to host the show.
One lucky winner and 11 of their fantasy football league mates will be flown out to Las Vegas for a draft weekend built around bragging rights, with Riggle providing live commentary and reactions as picks come off the board.
It’s the second year running for this promotion, and BetMGM is clearly leaning into the “bigger and better” approach for 2026.
What’s the Prize?
The draft party itself takes place inside the BetMGM Sportsbook at ARIA Resort & Casino, Autograph Collection, part of the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy. Beyond the Riggle-hosted draft, the full prize package includes:
- A two-night stay at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection
- Round-trip flights for up to 12 guests
- A $4,000 MGM Resorts credit usable on dining and spa experiences at MGM properties
BetMGM Chief Revenue Officer Matt Prevost said the operator is building on the success of last year’s edition of the promotion, which was hosted by former NFL quarterback Matt Ryan.
Riggle’s comedic background gives this year’s draft a different flavor, and it’s a smart move for an operator trying to keep a recurring promo feeling fresh.
How to Enter the Sweepstakes
Entry is tied to account linking and wagering activity, not a simple raffle. Here’s what you need to know:
- BetMGM players have until Friday, July 31, to opt in through the Promotions section of the BetMGM app
- You’ll need to link your Marriott Bonvoy and BetMGM accounts to qualify
- Once opted in, you earn one entry for every $10 in cumulative qualifying wagers, up to a maximum of 25 entries
Account linking can be done through the BetMGM website, mobile app, or the BetMGM Rewards Store. Just head to Account Details in your profile and follow the prompts under My Rewards.
Since this is a wagering-based sweepstakes rather than a no-purchase giveaway, players who are already active on BetMGM’s sportsbook have a natural edge in racking up entries before the Friday deadline.
A Deeper Rewards Partnership
This sweepstakes builds on a rewards collaboration BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy first launched in 2024.
Players in licensed states who link their accounts can earn BetMGM Rewards points through sports betting and online casino play, then convert those points into Marriott Bonvoy points, up to 1 million annually.
Those Bonvoy points can go toward free nights across Marriott’s portfolio of more than 30 hotel brands and 10,000 destinations worldwide, so the linked-account benefit extends well beyond this one sweepstakes.
Where is This Available?
BetMGM currently operates in 31 markets across mobile and retail formats, with its sportsbook app available on iOS, Android, and desktop.
As always, eligibility for this particular promotion will depend on your state and account status, and BetMGM’s Official Rules will spell out exactly who can participate.
Playing Responsibly
BetMGM continues to fold responsible gambling resources into its platform, including GameSense, a program developed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and licensed to MGM Resorts.
It’s built directly into BetMGM’s mobile and desktop apps, giving players access to the same tools available at MGM’s physical properties. Participants in the Vegas Fantasy Draft sweepstakes must be 21 or older, and no purchase is necessary to enter.
If gambling stops being fun, resources are available, including calling 1-800-GAMBLER.
