Award-Winning Celebrities That Advertise For Online Casinos

Getting a celebrity to endorse your product is always a bonus.

As online sportsbooks branched out across the United States, we saw top operators reach agreements with high-profile celebrities to be brand ambassadors of their product.

Now, online casinos have tapped more into that market, getting some of the biggest names in entertainment to promote their efforts.

Here’s a look at some of the award-winning celebrities that have been attached to the biggest online casino platforms.

Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm among BetMGM Endorsers

One online casino and sportsbook that has not been shy about using celebrities is BetMGM.

The most recent string of ads, titled “Make It Legendary,” have featured actor Jon Hamm. Hamm is arguably one of the most recognizable faces in the US, as he has also done ad campaigns for Mercedez-Benz, Progressive Insurance, Apple TV, H&R Block, and more.

The former Emmy and Golden Globe winner can be seen on the BetMGM Casino website and app promoting the latest signup bonuses and is featured on advertisements across all media platforms.

Prior to Hamm, BetMGM also utilized former Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe winner Jamie Foxx. Foxx was the face of BetMGM for quite some time to promote their sportsbook, but was also featured in advertisements for the online casino in available states.

BetMGM also worked with known actress Vanessa Hudgens, who helped promote their online gaming app in prior years. Hudgens was seen in multiple television advertisements alongside Foxx.

DraftKings Not Shy in Using Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart is everywhere.

He’s got movies, comedy specials, a YouTube show, and a podcast. He’s won a laundry list of awards for his specials and movie performances.

But, many of you probably see Hart regularly as he is the brand ambassador for DraftKings Casino and DraftKings Sportsbook. Hart appears on television, radio, and social media ads for the online gambling platform.

DraftKings even has a special promotion where a lucky winner will get a chance to meet and hang out with Hart during the shooting of his next DraftKings commercial.

The ads are regularly seen throughout a busy football weekend, with recent ads also featuring LeBron James.

DraftKings made a smart choice by reeling in Hart, who has a close relationship with many of the top athletes and entertainers around the world. Being able to have an ad with one of the greatest basketball players of all time is certainly a feather in DraftKings’ hat.

Neil Patrick Harris Singing for Golden Nugget

DraftKings owned Golden Nugget also isn’t shy about bringing in a celebrity name to endorse its online casino product.

Neil Patrick Harris has been seen in a series of television advertisements for Golden Nugget, lending his piano playing and signing ability to talk about the operator’s jackpots and golden moments.

An Emmy and Tony winner, Harris was originally known for his role as Doogie Howser, M.D. in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He then had a big return to television with his role as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother from 2005-14.

Harris’ face can be seen on the Golden Nugget Casino promotions page along with his television and social media ad appearances.
