BetMGM Sportsbook Big Game Prop Bet Challenge

BetMGM Sportsbook has been pulling out all the stops ahead of Super Bowl 58.

First, it unveiled a Super Bowl Commercial featuring Tom Brady. Then it announced its Super Bowl promo for new users to get $158 in bonus bets with just a $5 bet when they use the code FORBES158 at sign-up.

To top it all off, BetMGM recently revealed its free-to-play Big Game Prop Bet Challenge, which gives users the chance to win up to $58,000 in prizes.

What is the Big Game Prop Bet Challenge?

For those who don’t know, a prop (or proposition) bet is a wager on a specific outcome of a game, like how many yards a quarterback throws for or how many points a team scores. These are usually divided into game-specific and player-specific props, and they can be a fun way to bet on a game beyond traditional betting markets like spread and moneyline.

BetMGM’s Prop Bet Challenge allows users to pick their answer for 16 different prop bets, most of which are player props. For example, one question asks users to pick who will score the first touchdown, while another asks whether Patrick Mahomes will record over or under a specific number of passing yards.

The entrant with the most correct predictions will win $58,000. If there are multiple winners, the prize will be split evenly.

This promotion is free to play, so all you need is a BetMGM account. Here’s how to sign up if you don’t already have one.
