BetMGM Ranked #16 on Fortune Media and Great Place To Work’s 2024 Fortune Best Workplaces in Metro New York
BetMGM jumps 40 places from previous ranking; joins Fortune 100 companies in “large” workplace category
BetMGM announced today that Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have recognized the operator as one this year’s Best Workplaces in New York. The leading sports betting and iGaming operator landed at No.16 and secured the spot on the prestigious list by surpassing rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best workplaces among companies headquartered in the New York region. About 92% employees surveyed said that BetMGM is a great place to work, 35 percentage points higher than the average U.S. company.
“Landing on this prestigious list is a reflection of BetMGM’s ongoing commitment to fostering a great work environment,” said Adam Greenblatt, CEO, BetMGM. “I am honored to lead an organization filled with dedicated and talented employees who have created a place where people feel welcomed and supported.”
To determine the Fortune Best Workplaces in New York List, Great Place To Work® collected nearly 140,000 confidential survey responses from employees at eligible companies. Via the Trust Index Survey, employees shared honest feedback about their experience by responding to 60 statements about the employee experience and answering two open-ended questions. To be eligible for the list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified and headquartered in the New York region.
Some other figures from the survey revealed that 96% of BetMGM employees were made to feel welcome when they joined the company and 94% of employees surveyed are proud to tell others that they work at BetMGM.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in New York,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO, Great Place To Work®. “As the business landscape is disrupted — from AI, global conflict, and market pressure — companies who have built a reservoir of trust with their employees will be more resilient and, ultimately, more successful.”
In 2022, BetMGM was No. 56 on the Best Workplaces in New York list and in 2023 they were Certified as a Great Place To Work®.
In 2024, BetMGM also was shortlisted by SBC North America and EGR North America for “Employer of the Year” honors.
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation. When surveyed, employees overwhelmingly mentioned the people, inclusive culture, benefits, and work-life balance as reasons why BetMGM is a great place to work.
According to Great Place To Work® research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion. Great Place to Work® Certification is the only recognition based entirely on what employees report about their workplace experience – specifically, how consistently they experience a high-trust workplace.
Introduction to the New Interactive Features
Slotsjudge’s streamers, Paul and Krista, have recently implemented a number of new interactive feature aimed at diversifying viewer experience and even making viewers participate in the gaming process first-hand. What exactly will these innovations bring to the table?
Engaging Viewers with “Viewergames”
The very first feature, Viewergames, is designed to ensure viewer participation throughout the stream. Paul and Krista choose five random viewers to pick a game to play and try out the bought bonuses in each. At the end of each round, the participant with the lowest bonus amount leaves the game. The last standing viewer at the end of all games then receives the main prize.
Exciting “Bonus Hunt” Experience
Viewer participation is further encouraged in the Bonus Hunt feature on stream. Streamers play a predefined number of games and accumulate bonuses in the process. In the gaming process, the accumulated bonuses are not opened immediately. Instead, streamers keep them a mystery until the end.
Will the bonus hunt end in profit? Viewers can make their guesses by participating in a vote on Discord, and once the bonuses are revealed, Paul and Krista choose five viewers who guessed correctly and reward them with special prizes.
Interactive Giveaways for 100x Wins
Whenever a 100x win is hit during the stream, it triggers a special Giveaway, in which five viewers are chosen randomly to receive a prize. If a 100x win occurs more than once, an increased number of players enter a wheel, which then selects five winners. There can be multiple entries per viewer, which greatly increases their winning chances.
Slotsjudge’s Commitment to Interactive Entertainment
The introduction of the new interactive games for Paul and Krista’s streams has become a major boost for viewer engagement in the entertainment content provided on the platform. Slotsjudge is dedicated to bringing innovation into every aspect of the iGaming sector, refreshing viewer experience and making it more rewarding than ever.
Conclusion: Enhancing Viewer Engagement
Viewergames, Bonus Hunt, and Giveaways for 100x Wins will have a number of undeniable advantages. Most and foremost, they will greatly increase viewer engagement thanks to active viewer participation. Besides, they will build a sense of community among viewers, encouraging them to come back for more rewards and experience their favorite games anew.
Finally, such an engagement rate is based on the uniqueness of each feature, which makes every stream memorable for viewers and thus — skyrockets the visibility of such content among advertisers and sponsors. Slotsjudge is looking forward to reaping the fruit of the new stream games and seeing their positive impact on the iGaming community and the industry as a whole.

GeoComply announces minority investment in Betting Hero
GeoComply Solutions Inc. today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (“FansUnite”), FansUnite US Inc. (“FansUS”), and Hero Group Corp.

Upon completion of the Transaction, the Purchaser will be controlled 60% by Betting Hero’s co-founders, Jai Maw and Jeremy Jakary (the “Betting Hero Co-Founders”), and 40% by GeoComply. GeoComply’s investment in the Purchaser will support the Betting Hero Co-Founders to operate and grow the Betting Hero business following the sale of the Betting Hero business to the Purchaser.
