BetMGM Q3 Revenue Rises 7%, Outlook Maintained

BetMGM reported third-quarter net revenue of $710 million on October 13, 2026, up 7% year over year, as strong World Cup betting and a revamped sportsbook offset a decline in average monthly active players.

iGaming net revenue rose 6% year over year to $483 million, while online sports net revenue climbed 7% to $216 million, according to the operator's own third-quarter business update.

Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $86 million, up 112% year over year, even as average monthly actives fell 3%, a decline the company said reflects more selective player acquisition and management rather than weaker demand.

BetMGM also pointed to a successful multi-product launch in Alberta, with per-player metrics trending above those of its earlier Ontario launch, as it builds out its Canadian footprint alongside its US business.
