Conscious Gaming Hires Former Caesars and NFL Executive to Senior Post

Conscious Gaming announced the hiring of sports and gaming industry stalwart Seth Palansky as its new Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility & Communications.
Palansky comes aboard after more than 17 years with Caesars Entertainment and the National Football League (NFL), to spearhead Corporate Social Responsibility and Communications efforts for the recently established Conscious Gaming, a philanthropic organization committed to utilizing advanced technology to propel social responsibility initiatives.
Conscious Gaming works with gaming operators, regulators, suppliers, responsible gaming advocacy groups, sports leagues, academics and treatment professionals to better protect consumers and enhance responsible gaming.
Just last week Conscious Gaming announced a partnership with GVC Holdings and BetMGM, who have agreed to deploy PlayPause, a multi-state digital self-exclusion tool for the gaming industry to support responsible gaming.
PlayPause is an innovative universal cross-state, cross-operator solution for user identification created to modernize and strengthen the effectiveness of the U.S. gaming industryâs responsible gaming programs. The solution is made available via Conscious Gaming, a non-profit organization established by GeoComply.
âWe believe the benefits of offering a technology-driven self exclusion tool are critical for our industry to ensure we protect all stakeholders,â said Anna Sainsbury, Conscious Gaming Trustee and GeoComply Chairman and Co-Founder. âWe are excited to have Seth join us to front our adoption efforts and work with the industry to deliver Conscious Gamingâs state of the art solution to help simplify, streamline and stay ahead of a complex issue.â
Palansky comes to Conscious Gaming from Caesars Entertainment, where he spent the past dozen years inside Caesarsâ interactive division, Caesars Interactive (CIE), helping successfully launch iGaming in Nevada and New Jersey as its VP of Corporate Communications.
âThis is an incredible opportunity to help rally the gaming and sports industries behind this very important initiative,â said Seth Palansky. âSports betting and iGaming businesses are spreading rapidly throughout the U.S., and in order to ensure their longevity, it is imperative that all stakeholders have their responsible gaming initiatives accommodate the modern habits of those users they aim to protect. Itâs clear Anna and the team are once again prescient in developing this core technology solution to streamline the administrative burden and eliminate the silos associated with maintaining numerous separate state-operated self-exclusion databases. Iâm honored to be chosen to help lead this philanthropic cause to benefit the industries I care so deeply about.â
Conscious Gaming is offering its PlayPause technology tool to anyone in the industry interested in enhancing their responsible gaming program. Those interested should reach out to Seth directly at [email protected].
No stranger to start-up roles, Palansky joined the National Football League (NFL) in 2003 as the first employee of NFL Network, the leagueâs foray into the cable television industry, overseeing the networkâs communications department while managing business communications for the league pertaining to television and other media matters. After successfully contributing to NFL Networkâs launch and growth to more than 55 millions subscribers, Palansky left in 2008 to join Caesarsâ sports and entertainment division in Las Vegas.
Prior to the NFL, Palansky worked in corporate communications for Fox Sports, managing the companyâs 21 owned and operated regional sports networks, Fox Sports Net.
The role at Conscious Gaming perfectly marries Palanskyâs previous experience within the sports and gaming industries. Utilizing his familiarity across the sports, gaming and media worlds, Palansky is charged with coordinating the industryâs adoption of Conscious Gamingâs PlayPause offering, promoting the company and strategizing its corporate social responsibility initiatives as it moves forward.

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 WNBAâs Las Vegas Aces. The agreement runs through the 2027 season, marking BetMGMâs first major partnership with a womenâs 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 BetMGMâs 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: âAs we enter this era of tremendous growth in womenâs 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.â
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 âBetMGM Steals for Mealsâ 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.
âThe 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,â said Fargas.
Lance Evans, SVP Sports and Sponsorships, MGM Resorts International, said: âSince 2018, the Las Vegas Aces have played a pivotal role in our cityâs 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.â
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 Commissionerâs Cup and increased playoff offerings.
âOn 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,â said WNBA Chief Growth Officer Colie Edison.
âBetMGM 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 womenâs sports and the connections fans have to their favorite players and teams.â
