Monumental Sports Network to Launch Integrated Sports Betting and Gamification Features for Capitals and Wizards Streams

In partnership with Play Anywhere and BetMGM, Monumental+ app will become first local streaming experience outside Las Vegas to feature live sports betting odds and other interactive gaming options

Look for the new ‘Monumental Game Center’ sports betting and gamification feature add-on available on the Monumental+ (M+) app in partnership with Play Anywhere and BetMGM. Monumental Sports Network (MNMT) and app provider, ViewLift, have integrated real-time gambling odds and interactive gaming options during live Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards games making this launch beginning tonight, a first for local streaming outside Las Vegas. MNMT’s independent media platform is the first local media rights holder to offer this kind of interactive viewing experience across the NBA. The Sports Techie community blog advises those with a gambling problem to call 1-800-GAMBLER or visit www.1800gambler.net. You must be 21 or older to play Monumental Game Center.

New MNMT Capitals In-Game Sports Betting Odds Features

“At Monumental Sports & Entertainment, we pride ourselves on having a first-mover mentality and we are ecstatic to lead the way in creating an interactive, next-generation viewing experience for our fans,” said Zach Leonsis, President of Media & New Enterprises at Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE). “Through this groundbreaking partnership with Play Anywhere and BetMGM, Monumental+ is bringing real-time sports betting and other engaging games to the heart of the action for Capitals and Wizards streams, providing an opt-in experience for viewers to connect with our live broadcasts. This innovative feature is designed to complement our high-quality programming while offering fans more ways to engage with fast-paced NBA and NHL action.”

Driven by Play Anywhere’s state-of-the-art technology, this innovative viewing option is designed to be complementary to the streaming broadcast, and fans who opt in to this new experience will see in-game betting prompts and live odds from BetMGM as well as interactive trivia questions and other features displayed via popups on their screen. Within the M+ app streaming platform, viewers will also notice a control bar on the right side of their device, including interactive features like:

  • In-game player stats
  • Advanced game stats and play-by-play analysis
  • Player bios and full-season stats
  • League standings
  • In-game polls, predictions, trivia questions, and other fun in the Monumental Game Center

“We are honored to partner with Monumental Sports & Entertainment to bring an enhanced viewing experience to NBA and NHL fans,” said Yaacov Ben-Yaacov, CEO of Play Anywhere. “This partnership continues to fortify Play Anywhere as a global standard for contextual interactivity for viewers, through gaming, e-commerce and sponsorship. We are excited to be working with the leagues to enable these new experiences through their rightsholder ecosystem.”

Live betting odds and other Monumental Game Center features are exclusively available via streaming on the M+ app and will be seen only by fans who opt in to the experience (betting will only be accessible to viewers 21+ as verified by BetMGM’s age verification protocols). Streamers will receive an opt-in prompt before odds are displayed, and fans interested in placing bets will be taken out of the M+ app and redirected to the BetMGM platform. Viewers watching the linear broadcast will see little difference other than occasional in-game graphics offering a QR code directing to the Monumental Game Center second screen experience which will enable the viewer to experience the same interactive features on their mobile phone.

“BetMGM is constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the fan experience and ‘go to where our customers are,’” said Matt Prevost, BetMGM Chief Revenue Officer. “This partnership with Monumental Sports & Entertainment perfectly demonstrates how live odds integration can heighten the enjoyment of a game – and how we continue to raise the bar on technological innovation across sports.”

New M+ Capitals In-Game Gamification Features

In-app gamification options will be available to M+ subscribers within the network’s footprint, including customers with access through their TV provider and subscribers to the network’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) memberships. The interactive viewing experience will be available on all portable streaming devices, including mobile, tablets, and computers, via iOS, Android, and web. Users will be able to access this feature on connected TV devices later this season. Live betting and other in-game features will only be available for Capitals and Wizards games on MNMT.

Cost

Fans interested in experiencing this innovative technology and all of MNMT’s award-winning D.C. sports coverage can purchase annual DTC memberships priced at $199.99 per year at monumentalplus.com (savings of $39.89 per year compared to twelve months of a monthly subscription). Monthly memberships with access to all live games on MNMT and app-exclusive features are available at $19.99 per month. Fans with a TV provider that carries MNMT can enjoy the same app and consumer benefits as annual subscribers for free if they create an M+ account with their TV provider credentials.

M+

Before the start of the 2024-25 season, MNMT unveiled Monumental+, an upgraded best-in-class app, powered by ViewLift’s OTT platform, that supercharged the viewing experience for D.C. sports fans and set a new bar for regional media streaming platforms. The app offers several innovative features including:

  • Multi-view feature that puts fans in control of how they watch, by allowing up to four streams on a screen at once
  • The ability to watch Capitals and Wizards games simultaneously
  • Freedom to watch the main broadcast and alternate broadcasts at the same time
  • Six alternate camera angles for Capitals and Wizards home games
  • Ability to stream Monumental Sports Network on up to three devices at once

Responsible Betting
