Jets Join AGA Responsible Sports Betting Campaign
The American Gaming Association wants NFL fans to bet responsibly. And the Jets will post in-stadium and digital content in MetLife Stadium that promotes responsible sports wagering. The slogan: “Know When To Huddle Up.”
AGA research shows that a record 45.2 million Americans will bet on NFL games this season, up 36% from 2020.
“Leadership from professional sports teams like the Jets is critical to not only ensuring fans understand how to wager responsibly, but also getting sports betting right,” AGA senior vice president Casey Clark said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to welcome the team as a partner and value their commitment to prioritizing responsible sports betting education for their loyal fanbase.”
