MGM Resorts, Jets forge gaming partnership, first deal of its kind

MGM Resorts has signed a gaming partnership with the New York Jets, the first NFL deal that involves more than a casino sponsorship.

The deal includes a game named "I Called It," in which fans can answer questions about what will happen in the Jets game's future.

The game, which exclusively lives within the Jets app, is sponsored by MGM's app, Play MGM.

"I Called It" falls within the parameters of the NFL's new rules that permits gaming partnerships but not gambling relationships.

Despite the fact that the Jets' home, MetLife Stadium, is in New Jersey, where sports betting is legal and is second in revenue to Nevada, the game can only provide winners with prizes and doesn't allow fans to wager, Jets president Neil Glat said.
