BetMGM links up with MLS on F2P game
Soccer-focused ‘Predict 6’ will be available across desktop and mobile with a grand prize of $50,000
BetMGM has combined with Major League Soccer (MLS) to launch ‘Predict 6’ – the league’s first weekly free-to-play prediction game.
‘Predict 6’ will be available on desktop and the MLS mobile app as fans compete against fellow supporters for the chance to win weekly prizes.
Fans will be asked to predict the outcome of six matches and for each of the matches there will be a subsequent follow-up prediction with a more specific question (e.g. which team will score first).
If a player guesses all 12 outcomes correctly, they could win a grand prize of $50,000 but if there is no grand prize winner, the fan with the highest score each week will win $500.
The platform will be powered by BetMGM odds and MLSsoccer.com will feature BetMGM content to help fans make their selections each week.
Chris Schlosser, MLS SVP of media, said that ‘Predict 6’ would significantly enhance fan experience.
“Major League Soccer is excited to elevate the digital fan experience with the new free-to-play ‘Predict 6’ game presented by BetMGM,” he added.
“We are always looking for new experiences for our fans that bring them closer to the game. ‘Predict 6’ builds upon our existing fantasy offerings to give fans a free, quick and easy way to both compete and showcase their knowledge of the League and our clubs with friends.”
Scott Butera, MGM Resorts president of interactive gaming, said: “’Predict 6’ is a concept that will allow fans to engage with their favourite MLS teams in a way that they’ve never experienced before.
“BetMGM looks forward to providing this free-to-play game during the upcoming season to soccer fans, as well as access to MGM’s world-class entertainment offerings and resorts.”
The game models Fox Sport’s ‘Super6’ F2P game which covers the NFL, NBA and College Basketball.
