MGM RESORTS REACHES RESPONSIBLE GAMING MILESTONE BY SURPASSING 2,000 GAMESENSE ADVISORS

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 16, 2025

GameSense is an industry-leading responsible gaming program first developed and licensed to MGM Resorts in 2017 by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC). The program focuses on positive, transparent and proactive interactions with guests about how to gamble responsibly. GameSense has been adopted by BetMGM as well.

"Our investment in GameSense ensures an approach where responsibility is woven into the heart of the MGM Resorts brand," said Stephen Martino, SVP & Chief Compliance Officer, MGM Resorts. "With GameSense at the center, we're empowering employees to play an important role in promoting responsible gaming awareness and enjoyable experiences for our guests."

GameSense Advisors reinforce player education for guests and employees and are also trained to identify at-risk behaviors, escalate concerns, and provide support and local resources for anyone who may need them. These tools include BetBlocker, a free, fully anonymous gambling-blocking software that prevents access to both legal and illegal gambling sites and apps.

Garrett Farnes, Executive Director of Responsible Gaming, MGM Resorts, said, "This accomplishment is made possible by leadership and team members who genuinely want to make a difference. We're committed to a culture of responsibility that turns every interaction into an opportunity to build trust and provide a level of hospitality that truly matters."

Building on that commitment, MGM Resorts continues to support the American Gaming Association's Play Smart from the Start initiative and Have A Game Plan.® Bet Responsibly.™ public-service campaign. These programs educate both new and experienced sports bettors on how to make informed decisions while also promoting the use of licensed operators in regulated markets.

David Forman, VP of Research, American Gaming Association, said, "Through initiatives like GameSense, MGM Resorts continues to set a standard that makes responsible gaming an everyday expectation. As the industry continues to expand, it's well-trained employees who are positioned to drive these important messages forward."
