The US Team have provided us a Snow Globe Promotion Tutorial as we may get more Snow Globe tickets from now on. See video above for the training video.

A documentation page will be added soon.

The tournament page CTAs for Poker Welcome Offers should follow the templates below to improve consistency across the BetMGM and Borgata sites.

• Sign Up CTA, Filtered for not registered players
• Log In CTA, Filtered for registered and not logged-in players
• Deposit Funds CTA, See Bonus CTA, and See Tickets CTA, Filtered for registered and logged-in players

For BetMGM:

<p>
  <a data-content-filter="NOT User.IsKnown" class="btn" style="background-color: #00a35b; color: #ffffff;" href="!!M2.Portal/mobileportal/register">Sign Up</a>
  <a data-content-filter="User.IsKnown AND NOT User.LoggedIn" class="btn" style="background-color: #00a35b; color: #ffffff;" href="!!M2.Portal/labelhost/login">Log In</a>
  <a data-content-filter="(User.IsKnown AND User.LoggedIn) AND NOT User.IsRealPlayer" class="btn" style="background-color: #00a35b; color: #ffffff;" href="!!M2.Portal/mobileportal/cashier/deposit">Deposit Funds</a>
  <a data-content-filter="(User.IsKnown AND User.LoggedIn) AND NOT User.IsRealPlayer" class="btn" style="background-color: #00a35b; color: #ffffff;" href="!!M2.Promo/offers/grouped?filter=pb">See Bonus</a>
  <a data-content-filter="(User.IsKnown AND User.LoggedIn) AND NOT User.IsRealPlayer" class="btn" style="background-color: #00a35b; color: #ffffff;" href="!!Poker.Launcher">See Tickets</a>
</p>

For Borgata Online:

<p>
  <a data-content-filter="NOT User.IsKnown" class="btn btn-primary" href="!!M2.Portal/mobileportal/register">SIGN UP</a>
  <a data-content-filter="User.IsKnown AND NOT User.LoggedIn" class="btn btn-primary" href="!!M2.Portal/labelhost/login">LOG IN</a>
  <a data-content-filter="(User.IsKnown AND User.LoggedIn) AND NOT User.IsRealPlayer" class="btn btn-primary" href="!!M2.Portal/mobileportal/cashier/deposit">DEPOSIT FUNDS</a>
  <a data-content-filter="(User.IsKnown AND User.LoggedIn) AND NOT User.IsRealPlayer" class="btn btn-primary" href="!!M2.Promo/offers/grouped?filter=pb">SEE BONUS</a>
  <a data-content-filter="(User.IsKnown AND User.LoggedIn) AND NOT User.IsRealPlayer" class="btn btn-primary" href="!!Poker.Launcher">SEE TICKETS</a>
</p>

Context:​

• On 11/19/24, Alyssa asked the Poker team if they had a preference for the CTA for Poker welcome offers. The reason is that they are inconsistent, with some pages that say DEPOSIT NOW bringing users to a login page, and others that say REGISTER NOW bringing users to registration.
• Vivian clarified where the discrepancy was observed and that Alyssa was referring to Tournament Pages. She also suggested a set of filtered CTAs for different sets of users (not registered, not logged in, etc.)
• Will O'Connor gave confirmation to use the CTAs suggested by Vivian.

Hi all,

Please note that a small change will need to take place when building landing pages. The DL below is from a Nevada LP and can be used as a reference:

Direct Link

You can use the above link as a template or just make sure to update the script footer as seen in the image attached. This will allow the SEO team to better track page views.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Hello everyone,

For PAT Player Activity, the MPP secondary CTA has always been See My Progress for BetMGM or SEE MY PROGRESS for all other labels except BetMGM, directing to !!M2.Promo/offers/grouped?filter=cp, so that players are directed to the Filtered, Casino PAT Promotions Hub Page to search for the specific PAT Player Activity, Promotions Hub Tile.

--

However, we should optimize our user journey with less steps, so for single Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, the Parent Final PAT ID will not reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since the promotion will start and end just once, the MPP secondary CTA should direct to !!M2.Promo/pa/PAT ID #, but with the PAT ID # replaced with the actual number instead, for example, 123456 for !!M2.Promo/pa/123456, so that players are immediately directed to the PAT Player Activity Page, specifically the My Progress Tab in which the URL will automatically prepopulate and end with …/promo/pa/PAT ID #/myprogress if the players have successfully opted-in, or specifically the Overview Tab in which the URL will automatically prepopulate and end with …/promo/pa/PAT ID #/overview if the players have not successfully opted-in yet.

For example:

Borgata Online NJ and PA: https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/668d8a59000bfe045502506b03f56520/updates

For this single Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, Promotion, the Parent Final PAT IDs will not reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since these Parent Final PAT IDs will start and end just once, although it is one (1) week from August 26th to September 1st for Borgata Online PA, but two (2) weeks from August 26th to September 8th for Borgata Online NJ, to get the maximum reward value of $25 Bonus Dollars during then:

Terms and Conditions > Claiming Promotion Offer:

$25 Bonus Dollars is the maximum Bonus Dollars a player can earn throughout the Promotional Period.

Please note that this Promotion is live, so you can log into a test account to see this in-action.

Wheel of Fortune Casino NJ: https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/668bebd1000f0171ad5c2d9cdce42e0d/updates

For this single Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, Promotion, the Parent Final PAT IDs did not reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since these Parent Final PAT IDs started and ended just once, but twice for the two (2) runs from August 5th to 9th for Final PAT ID, 26054477 and August 19th to 23rd for Final PAT ID, 26056242, to get the maximum reward value of $30 Bonus Dollars during then:

Terms and Conditions > Claiming Promotional Offer:

$30 is the maximum Bonus Dollars a player can earn throughout the Promotional Period.

Please note that this Promotion is no longer live.

Wheel of Fortune Casino NJ: https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/66b3ac9d003c9475cf2f9b94e9e5d444/updates

For this single Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, Promotion, the Parent Final PAT ID will not reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since this Parent Final PAT ID will start and end just once from September 2nd to 6th, to get the maximum reward value of $30 Bonus Dollars during then:

Terms and Conditions > Claiming Promotional Offer:

$30 is the maximum Bonus Dollars a player can earn throughout the Promotional Period.

Please note that this Promotion will be live next week, so you can log into a test account to see this in-action next week.

--

For multiple Promotional Days or Weeks, Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, the Parent Final PAT ID will reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since the promotion will start and end more than just once, the MPP secondary CTA can still direct to !!M2.Promo/offers/grouped?filter=cp.

For example:

For these multiple Promotional Days, Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, Promotions, the Parent Final PAT IDs will reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since these Children Final PAT IDs will start and end each Promotional Day until the last Promotional Day.

BetMGM MI, NJ, and PA: https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/669041fe0000dc51ca9220708099444e/updates

To get the maximum reward value of $5, $10, $15, $20, or $25 Casino Bonus per Promotional Day, depending on the tier:

Terms and Conditions > Claiming Promotion Offer:

$5/$10/$15/$20/$25 is the maximum Casino Bonus a player can earn per day throughout the Promotional Period.

BetMGM WV: https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/668eac15005745eaadbe3b6a0c57d815/updates

To get the maximum reward value of $10 Casino Bonus per Promotional Day:

Terms and Conditions > Claiming Promotion Offer:

$10 is the maximum Casino Bonus a player can earn per day throughout the Promotional Period.

Please note that these Promotions are live, so you can log into a test account to see this in-action, especially the PAT ID # in the URL or How it works Tab, Promotion Code changing every Promotional Day.

For these multiple Promotional Weeks, Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, Promotions, the Parent Final PAT IDs will reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since these Children Final PAT IDs will start and end each Promotional Week until the last Promotional Week, to get the maximum reward value of $10 Bonus Dollars per Promotional Week.

NJ PartyCasino: https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/667f16f20053e803242c39bc25c76fb9/updates

Terms and Conditions > Claiming Promotion Offer:

Players can earn a maximum of $10 in Bonus Dollars each week valid on PartyCasino Slots on their first deposit of each week.

Wheel of Fortune Casino NJ: https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/65491955005bee293807c87a331dc6a4/updates

Terms and Conditions > Claiming Promotion Offer:

Players can earn a maximum of $10 in Bonus Dollars each week valid on Wheel of Fortune Casino Slot games on their first deposit of each week.

Please note that these Promotions are live, so you can log into a test account to see this in-action, especially the PAT ID # in the URL or How it works Tab, Promotion Code changing every Promotional Week.

The key to determining which direction to use is by reviewing the How It Works and/or Terms and Conditions, but if you incorrectly directed to the Final PAT Player Activity Page for multiple Promotional Days or Weeks, Promotional Period, PAT Player Activity, promotion instead, then no worries, since that will attempt to direct to the Final PAT Player Activity Page, but will fail, since only the Child PAT Player Activity Page is available then, and redirect back to the Home, Promotions Hub Page, which is another reason why site-checking is important.

Please do not hesitate and feel free to let me know if you have any question and/or concern at all.

Thank you as always for your attention, understanding, assistance, and time.

Kind regards,

Vivian

Hi all,

Please see below. Pending no issues, we should be able to start building ON content on US sitecore at some point on Thursday, July 18. There may be a delay during the transition.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hi All,

We will be switching on.betmgm.ca to US Sitecore on Thursday, 18th July, 2024 starting at 11:30 AM IST (8:00 AM CET) and should be completed in an hour.

Then the label will be fetching content from https://rest-us.on.betmgm.ca.cms-us.prod.env.works/

Following teams are involved in the configuration changes and change Requests are created from respective teams:

CMS: CHG206379

PAT: CHG208385 EDS: CHG208531 BO: CHG208376 LO:  CTASK597055 (created from CMS Team side for Help pointings) POS:  ( Email Notification shared to d.dtp.core with necessary changes needed )

Either Sitecore team or the US Content team will help with this.

Hello everyone,

For NJ PartyCasino and NJ partypoker, you may have already noticed that your test accounts share the same username, so you may receive emails from NJ partypoker, but with different Subjects for NJ PartyCasino and NJ partypoker, and you may receive Inboxes from NJ partypoker on NJ PartyCasino and from NJ PartyCasino on NJ partypoker.

As a result, you may have already noticed that after I review NJ PartyCasino and NJ partypoker, Rest ID builds, I always replace the Urls from SmartLinks to Final URLs instead. This is because both NJ PartyCasino and NJ partypoker mostly do not share the same builds, so using SmartLinks will usually direct the Urls to broken, dead, or invalid pages instead.

For example, building an ACQ LP on NJ partypoker and using its SmartLink in its Rest ID will direct to NJ PartyCasino’s version of the ACQ LP if its Rest ID is received on NJ PartyCasino, which will not be recognized as NJ PartyCasino does not already have its ACQ LP version built or need its version to be built, so the direction will be to a broken, dead, or invalid page instead, and building a MPP on NJ PartyCasino and using its SmartLink in its Rest ID will direct to NJ partypoker’s version of the MPP if its Rest ID is received on NJ partypoker, which will not be recognized as NJ partypoker does not already have its MPP version built or need its version to be built, so the direction will be to a broken, dead, or invalid page instead.

Therefore, for new NJ PartyCasino and NJ partypoker Projects, please build Rest ID Urls with Final URLs instead of SmartLinks, and for old Projects with CHRs to revisit, please replace Rest ID Urls with Final URLs instead of SmartLinks, and update to both Toaster and Overlay V2 formats.

Please do not hesitate and feel free to let me know if you have any question and/or concern.

Thank you as always for your attention, understanding, assistance, and time.

Kind regards,

Vivian

Hello everyone,

For unlimited entry, PAT Leaderboard, the MPP secondary CTA has always been either See Standings for BetMGM or SEE STANDINGS for all other labels except BetMGM, for Leaderboards and Check My Entries for BetMGM or CHECK MY ENTRIES for all other labels except BetMGM, for Sweepstakes, directing to !!M2.Promo/offers/grouped?filter=cp, so that players are directed to the Filtered, Casino PAT Promotions Hub Page to search for the specific PAT Leaderboard, Promotions Hub Tile.

However, Alex visited our Canadian office and received feedback from Paul, sharing with us during last month’s CMS/OPS Monthly Connect that we should optimize our user journey with less steps, to become See Rankings for BetMGM or SEE RANKINGS for all other labels except BetMGM, regardless of Leaderboard or Sweepstakes, directing to !!M2.Promo/lb/PAT ID #, but with the PAT ID # replaced with the actual number instead, for example, 123456 for !!M2.Promo/lb/123456, so that players are immediately directed to the PAT Leaderboard Page, specifically the Ranking Tab in which the URL will automatically prepopulate and end with …/promo/lb/PAT ID #/ranking if a player has successfully opted-in and made an eligible or qualifying wager, or specifically the Overview Tab in which the URL will automatically prepopulate and end with …/promo/lb/PAT ID #/overview if a player has not made an eligible or qualifying wager yet.

Please note that this update is for single Promotional Period, unlimited entry, PAT Leaderboard, which is what is usually run most of the time, and the Parent Final PAT ID will not reproduce Children Final PAT IDs, since the promotion will start and end just once. 

However, this update is not for multiple Promotional Periods, unlimited entry, PAT Leaderboard, which is not what is usually run most of the time. For example, for this Promotion, the Parent Final PAT ID reproduced three (3) Children Final PAT IDs, since this Promotion will start and end more than just once, so the MPP secondary CTA can still be See Rankings for BetMGM or SEE RANKINGS for all other labels except BetMGM, regardless of Leaderboard or Sweepstakes, but directing back to !!M2.Promo/offers/grouped?filter=cp instead:

In Summary:

For Leaderboards and Sweepstakes that have only One Promotional Period:

For Leaderboards and Sweepstakes that have Multiple Promotional Periods:

Everyone just a note when building tiered promos - I know we've done many like this in the past, but when naming the MPP URL, let's stay away from adding 'high core,' 'low core,' 'VIP core' etc in the link. Most of the time, users won't see it but on the off chance someone is on desktop and paying attention to where the link is directing them, the target group info shouldn't be customer-facing.

For example: https://www.mi.betmgm.com/en/mobileportal/promotions/casino/high-core-roar-to-riches-casino-challenge

We don't want that in the URL, so we can change it to a number like 1 or pretty much whatever you want that doesn't highlight the segmentation group.

Aldous & team are currently working on the Roar to Riches tickets, but just a note going forward when starting new tiered promotions. Thanks!

Hey Everyone!

Sorry for the delay on this I was waiting for confirmations but just wanted to now confirm that the 500x500 story sizes will no longer be used on borgata and we will be using the 65x65 size in replace of the 500x500. I know Vivian has been working on this and it seems that the other sizes just weren't fitting correctly? But if you have any questions please reach out to Vivian and she will be able to assist!

noted on this! will the toaster creatives do for the story sizes?

Yes! In the borgata asset packs in the design requests for toaster, it is now "Story-Toaster (65x65)"

https://betmgm.my.workfront.com/project/666c903200566207b4679527799dbd81/updates Please make sure we are all going forward with 'See Rankings' and linking to /lb/PAT ID for all leaderboard promotions. Some of these have those updates made while others don't and we want to be the same across the board so please update if you haven't already (for this and all future LBs)

For Landing Pages​

Hey all quick thing - 

Going forward, we are going to stay away from using 'REGISTER' or 'SIGN UP NOW' and instead stick with 'SIGN UP' On our end, this will mostly apply to landing pages - brand & acq is going to get us a list of active LPs at some point so we can make those changes (it's not a ton), but going forward when creating new LPs, even if the copy provided says 'REGISTER,' let's replace that CTA with 'SIGN UP.' Eventually all will have that in the request, but for tickets that were already briefed in, we can use 'SIGN UP.' This mostly applies to the Manila team and me

FYI Emma Bulos DonJohn Melendez 

In any instance, REGISTER means to Register for the Tournament and not Register for an account especially because sometimes if you Pre-register for headliner Tournaments, you qualify for Prizes, as referred to in How To Participate the CTA should not be changed to 'SIGN UP'

The US Team have provided us a Claw Machine Video Tutorial as we may get more Claw Machine tickets from now on. See video above for the training video.

A documentation page will be added soon.

Last Thursday, Ruben and I have been working with Sean’s, Casino Lobby, and Gaming Product Teams on preparing m2.mi.betmgm.com and m2.nj.playmgm.com > MobileCasino-v1.0 > LMTCategories > instantCasino > lobbyhome, Featured or featured, and jackpotslots to migrate to simply home and jackpots instead, so that it will be easier for our Teams to make updates, which have been successfully migrated just this afternoon.

Therefore, for both BetMGM MI and NJ, please push newly built web Carousels into home > Teasers, and please replace web Video Banners on homefeatured > GameVideos.

m2.mi.betmgm.com > MobileCasino-v1.0 > LMTCategories > instantCasino >

Please do not hesitate and feel free to let me know if you have any question.

Thank you as always for your attention, understanding, assistance, and time.

Kind regards,

Vivian

Hope all is well. I wanted to forward along this chain as a reminder. We’ve run into this problem in the past and want to make sure everyone is aware that when both Ops & CMS are both needed for a promotion, **CMS should not push anything live/make changes to PAT/EDS without having what we need from Ops. **This problem is most common when there is a change request/extension of a promotion. In the past, we’ve seen the same few issues:

• Stakeholder does not add Ops in CHR
• Stakeholder does not alert Ops of CHR nor add it to the In-Progress CHR chat

In this instance, the stakeholder included Ops on the CHR, but did not specifically alert anyone from the Ops team. Mike added a task for them and while that should be enough, we know at this point to over-communicate in situations like this.

Let’s continue to communicate and work together with Ops to make sure these tasks are done correctly. When extending/shorting promotions that require PAT/EDS, please be sure that Ops is aware and works on their tasks before we do. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.

Thank you!

Heads up everyone - we have not fully escaped cross-sell promos. Will chat further on our call Thursday, but FYI you may see tasks to add carousels for:

BTL SOCCER PICK A FOOTBALL

BTL NHL PICK A PUCK

Yes, these say BTL. No, they are not BTL, they are public and should have been assigned to our team but since it's already last minute - CRM CMS team will be handling these builds, but we will be handling carousels on casino sites.

Tagging Everyone so US & Manila teams are aware that Gaming CMS should not be building/testing/scheduling these beyond just carousels. Lmk if you have any questions, thank you
