DraftKings and Kindbridge Behavioral Health Expand Program That Provides Treatment Resources for Individuals Experiencing Potential Indications of Problem Gaming

DraftKings Inc. announced an expanded relationship with Kindbridge Behavioral Health (Kindbridge) to provide access to therapy and treatment for problem gaming in every jurisdiction where DraftKings operates its online sportsbook and iGaming products. DraftKings and Kindbridge, a pioneering mental health service provider dedicated to supporting individuals facing challenges related to problem gaming, originally joined forces in September 2023 to launch a pilot program to deliver personalized support for sports bettors in Colorado.
“We appreciate the opportunity to deepen our collaboration with Kindbridge Behavioral Health and strengthen our commitment to providing important resources to those experiencing potential indications of problem gaming. We want everyone on our platform to engage in responsible play and we are committed to educating consumers on the multitude of resources offered. For those who recognize signs of problem gaming and decide to utilize our tools to self-exclude, they now have access to therapy and treatment free of cost through Kindbridge Behavioral Health,” said DraftKings Chief Compliance Officer Jennifer Aguiar.
After a successful launch of the program in Colorado last year, DraftKings and Kindbridge have established a system that effectively links self-excluded players with numerous support options, including receiving pertinent educational content, engaging in initial assessment calls, and scheduling initial counseling sessions.
“DraftKings’ integration of direct care into their platform, in collaboration with Kindbridge across 25 states, marks a significant step in enhancing player health. This effort underlines our commitment to combat problem gaming with personalized, accessible support. This collaboration sets a new industry benchmark for comprehensive care, ensuring swift and essential support is accessible to those in need,” said Daniel Umfleet, CEO of Kindbridge.
Beginning April 1, every customer in the 25 states where DraftKings operates its online sportsbook and iGaming products and in Ontario, will have access to comprehensive mental health assessments, care providers, and personalized care plans via Kindbridge when they self-exclude within the DraftKings platform. This expanded partnership further enhances DraftKings’ long-standing commitment to investing in and providing access to resources that support player well-being. The joint initiative aims to not only aid individuals facing challenges, but also provide valuable insights and data into the effectiveness of treatment resources for those who seek assistance via online gaming platforms.

JCM Global Transforms Chinook Winds Casino Resort’s Casino Floor with Towering Digital Signage at High Limit Area

JCM Global has installed a towering new digital signage solution at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City, Ore.
The digital signage frames the entrance of the casino’s high limit area and creates a stunning visual destination that transforms the casino floor.
Specifically, JCM installed three curved 2.5mm FLEX LITE-S solutions. The two pillars each measure nearly 8 feet high by 7 feet wide, and they connect to an overhead soffit that is nearly 24 feet wide and 5 feet high. The entire solution is programmable and can display different content for each piece of digital signage or showcase one video across all three signs.
The dynamic digital signage replaced static wood pillars and can feature a range of messaging, images, and video limited only by the imagination. This is the first digital signage project JCM has installed at Chinook Winds. The casino also has JCM GEN5 thermal printers on each of its slot machines.
“This breathtaking new entry into our High Stakes room is just the beginning of all the exciting new changes we will be implementing at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. We are glad JCM Global has been able to be a part of this journey,” said Sean Sheridan, Director of Facilities at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
JCM SVP – Sales, Marketing & Operations Dave Kubajak said: “Chinook Winds says, ‘It’s Better at the Beach’, and their management proved it with this incredible digital signage installation. Our digital signage team brought their vision to life with our unique curved displays showcasing their high limit room entrance. The movement of the ocean and the whales on the curved signage truly illustrate the power of digital signage and the virtually limitless creativity it unleashes.”
JCM digital signage solutions transform hospitality areas, indoors, and outdoors. They come in a wide range of sizes and options to perfectly fit any space and enhance the guest experience.

BetMGM Partners with Las Vegas Aces

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, and the Las Vegas Aces announced that BetMGM is the exclusive online casino and sportsbook partner of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. The agreement runs through the 2027 season, marking BetMGM’s first major partnership with a women’s professional sports franchise. Key features include prominent signage at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and sponsorship across Aces social media platforms. Added components of the partnership for BetMGM players include courtside access to pre-game shootarounds and luxury VIP seating.
BetMGM will also serve as an authorized gaming partner of the WNBA through the 2027 season. Under the agreement, BetMGM will receive commercial inventory on nationally televised games, WNBA tickets and experiences for its VIP players, the rights to co-branded content across BetMGM’s digital and social platforms, and articles on wnba.com/WNBABet. Additionally, BetMGM plans to release a WNBA-branded online slot game in the near future in jurisdictions where its iGaming platform is live. The slot game will be available exclusively at BetMGM and represents the first-ever WNBA online casino game.
Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, said: “As we enter this era of tremendous growth in women’s sports, BetMGM could not have two better organizations to partner with than the WNBA and the Aces. Not only do the Aces play in our backyard at Mandalay Bay, but they share our commitment to giving back to the community.”
On May 27, executives from BetMGM, Las Vegas Aces, MGM Resorts International, and The Just One Project (a cornerstone nonprofit committed to increasing access to food, resources and supportive services in Southwest Nevada) gathered in front of The Fountains of Bellagio to launch their partnership. Aces President Nikki Fargas and BetMGM Director of Team & League Partnerships Molly Wurdack-Folt led the festivities, unveiling plans for the “BetMGM Steals for Meals” program whereby BetMGM will donate $50 for The Just One Project to provide meals to food-insecure families for every Aces steal at Michelob ULTRA Arena.
“The Las Vegas Aces are proud to partner with BetMGM for many reasons, but especially for the support they will provide to The Just One Project. As one of the best defenses in the league the past few seasons, especially in front of our home fans, and knowing that each steal will help families in need, this gives our team even more incentive to lock down our opponents on the defensive end,” said Fargas.
Lance Evans, SVP Sports and Sponsorships, MGM Resorts International, said: “Since 2018, the Las Vegas Aces have played a pivotal role in our city’s growth as a global sports and entertainment destination. Together with BetMGM, we look forward to hosting gameday events at Mandalay Bay, as well as our other properties, allowing local and visiting fans to interact with their favorite basketball teams.”
Betting on the WNBA has increased exponentially, and BetMGM experienced 133% growth year-over-year during the 2024 season. BetMGM now offers more betting options than ever before including player props, odds on the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup and increased playoff offerings.
“On the heels of an incredible 2024 season when WNBA delivered significant growth in all areas of fan engagement, and with so much excitement surrounding the 2025 season, we want to continue to lean into betting and finding new and innovative ways to engage with our fans and provide the experiences they want,” said WNBA Chief Growth Officer Colie Edison.
“BetMGM is doing just that by offering new and expansive betting markets for WNBA fans. And by partnering with the Aces, BetMGM continues to recognize the extraordinary potential for growth that comes from tapping into the power of women’s sports and the connections fans have to their favorite players and teams.”

High Roller Submits Gaming License Application in Ontario

High Roller Technologies, operator of the premium online casino brands High Roller and Fruta, announced the submission of its Internet Gaming Operator license application in Ontario, Canada, targeting the launch of its flagship brand HighRoller.com in the second half of 2025.
“The submission of our licensing application to access Ontario’s regulated online gambling market is an important milestone in our Company’s journey. Once our application is approved, we anticipate that we will have the opportunity to launch our online casino product into the market later this year,” said Ben Clemes, Chief Executive Officer at High Roller.
Ontario is one of the largest regulated online gambling markets in the world as measured by gross gaming revenue. In 2024, regulated online gambling operators within the province generated approximately $2.3B in gross gaming revenue, and growth continues to be recorded in the first half of 2025. Recently, the province of Alberta passed enabling legislation to establish a regulatory framework for online gambling. Once available, the Company also intends to pursue licensure in Alberta to expand its regulated market footprint in Canada.
“Ontario is missing an elegant brand like High Roller. We’re excited to roll out the red carpet for our new customers, and we’re looking forward to showcasing our tremendous product,” said Clemes.
