BetMGM offers Las Vegas trip for top players in ‘Players Era in Vegas Leaderboard’ contest

As the 2025–26 college basketball season begins, BetMGM is giving bettors an early taste of March excitement through a new in-app contest tied to the upcoming Players Era Men’s and Women’s Championships, scheduled for November 24–27 in Las Vegas.

The “Players Era in Vegas Leaderboard” promotion, running through November 9, will award 25 winners an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas for the multi-day tournament hosted by MGM Resorts International. Each prize package includes tickets to the championships, a four-night stay at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, and $1,500 in withdrawable travel funds.

“BetMGM is focused on delivering legendary experiences for sports fans, and the Players Era Men's and Women's Championships – right in our Las Vegas backyard – is the ideal stage,” said Raymond Doyle, BetMGM Senior Vice President of Sports. “This promotion gives BetMGM players a chance to show off their skills for an up-close look at one of college basketball's most exciting events.”

The contest is open to both new and existing BetMGM users. Participants can join by opting in through the promotions section of the BetMGM app and placing qualifying wagers of at least $10 on any market. Leaderboard points are determined by the odds and results of each bet, rewarding higher points for winning bets with longer odds.

All bets must carry minimum odds of +100 and be placed and settled between October 20 and November 9, 2025. Players can monitor their rankings on a real-time leaderboard within the app, which updates as wagers are processed. The promotion is not available in Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Ontario, or Puerto Rico.
