The “Blazin’ Rewards” app will also have a free-to-play, mobile football game created for customers to choose their favorite NFL teams and weekly fantasy performers. The multiyear partnership also has plans to launch “Picks and Props,” another free mobile football game that will utilize ‘point spreads’ and proposition bets or side bets while handing out rewards to winners. Winners can play from Thursday to Sunday and can collect their prizes from their local Buffalo Wild Wings outlets. Prizes include trips to Las Vegas, the Borgata casino in New Jersey or the Atlantic City and many more.

Later, this year, Buffalo Wild Wings will tap into full-scale sports gambling. They will do so, via a test program at selected locations in New Jersey, where sports betting over mobile apps, is legal. Eventually, they will conduct the test in more states.

The test program will also allow customers to get a feel of the BetMGM app at selected Buffalo Wild Wings outlets in the state.

The first consumer product won’t take cash bets but would have prizes like trips to exotic locations and may earn tickets of participation for the first sports betting competition of BetMGM.

With so many states where mobile sports betting is legal and over 1,000 Buffalo Wild Wings locations nationwide, there will be plenty of places for bettors to place wagers on football betting sites.

Even though the Buffalo Wild Wings president says that the restaurant is not getting a “direct piece of betting action,” it is hoping to make reasonable profits from the partnership ‘in the long run.’
