WASHINGTON, DC, January 11, 2021 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, today announced that it advised the Washington Nationals, who have signed a multiyear, exclusive partnership with BetMGM, a leading sports betting and digital gaming company.

The partnership includes the opening of a BetMGM Sportsbook connected to Nationals Park and the launch of a mobile app within the permitted area around the Park.

The BetMGM Sportsbook will provide a luxury viewing and sports betting experience to complement the existing experience at MGM National Harbor Dugout Club, an eight-seat premier luxury sports box, located on the field adjacent to the team dugout. The newly created sportsbook will be located in the space currently serving as Center Field Social, across Center Field Plaza from the Nationals Team Store.
