BetMGM Partners with Jogo Global and Banijay Rights to Launch SURVIVOR Online Casino Games
BetMGM has partnered with Jogo Global and Banijay Rights to launch exclusive SURVIVOR-themed casino games for its online casino platform, expanding its portfolio of branded gaming content across North American markets. The operator has previously introduced branded titles such as BetMGM Speedway, developed with Richard Childress Racing.
The partnership grants BetMGM exclusive rights to develop and distribute online casino games based on the globally recognized television franchise SURVIVOR. The launch coincides with the show’s landmark 50th season, which premiered on CBS in February 2026.
BetMGM is a leading online gaming and sports betting operator in North America, offering digital online casino and sportsbook services across several regulated markets. The company has also expanded its sportsbook presence in the U.S., including its recent launch in Missouri with a $1,500 bonus offer. Through this collaboration, the company aims to integrate one of television’s most recognizable entertainment brands into its casino games portfolio.
The agreement also reflects a growing trend in the iGaming industry, where operators collaborate with media companies and game developers to transform well-known entertainment franchises into interactive real-money gaming experiences.
First SURVIVOR Casino Games Launch on BetMGM
The rollout of SURVIVOR-themed casino games has already begun on BetMGM Casino with the release of Survivor Triple Challenge and Survivor – Outwit – Outplay – Outlast.
Under the agreement, BetMGM and Jogo Global will co-develop a minimum of 10 SURVIVOR-branded online casino games, with additional titles scheduled to launch throughout March. The rollout comes as BetMGM continues expanding across regulated markets, including opening a new retail sportsbook site in Puerto Rico. These casino games aim to capture the competitive and strategic elements associated with the television series while adapting them to real-money gameplay for the online casino environment.
Jogo Global, a gaming technology company focused on developing branded casino games and digital entertainment products, will play a central role in building the new SURVIVOR gaming titles.
According to Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming at BetMGM, the collaboration strengthens BetMGM’s strategy of expanding exclusive branded content for its players.
“SURVIVOR is one of the most successful reality franchises in television history. Bringing exclusive SURVIVOR content to our players underscores BetMGM’s commitment to building a legendary powerhouse of entertainment,” Bartlett said.
Banijay Rights Expands SURVIVOR Franchise into the iGaming Industry
The partnership also reflects a broader strategy by Banijay Rights to expand its entertainment intellectual property into the iGaming industry.
Banijay Rights is the global distribution and licensing division of Banijay Entertainment, one of the world’s largest independent television content producers. The company manages and licenses a large catalogue of global television formats and entertainment brands.
Mark Woollard, SVP Gaming and Gambling at Banijay Rights, said the collaboration builds on Banijay’s existing licensing relationship with Jogo Global and represents an opportunity to extend the SURVIVOR brand into real-money gaming markets within the online casino sector.
SURVIVOR, created by Charlie Parsons, remains one of the most widely distributed reality television franchises globally, with more than 50 international adaptations and over 400 seasons broadcast worldwide.
Jogo Global Supports Casino Game Development
For Jogo Global, the partnership represents an opportunity to translate the competitive dynamics of the television show into interactive casino games for digital platforms.
The company specializes in developing entertainment-driven gaming experiences by combining popular media franchises with real-money online casino mechanics designed for players in the iGaming industry. BetMGM has also strengthened its internal leadership structure, including the appointment of a new Chief Operating Officer to support its operational growth.
David Marcus, CEO of Jogo Global, said the project aims to bring the strategic gameplay and intensity of SURVIVOR into real-money gaming formats designed for online casino audiences.
“We’re proud to help bring the strategy, intensity, and competitive spirit of SURVIVOR into real-money gameplay in a way that feels authentic to the brand and compelling for U.S. players,” Marcus said.
BetMGM Expands Casino Games Portfolio
BetMGM’s online casino platform currently features more than 7,000 casino games across regulated North American markets, while the company continues strengthening its brand through sports partnerships such as its Pittsburgh sports sponsorship lineup, supported by one of the largest state-by-state progressive jackpot networks in the iGaming industry.
The operator’s progressive jackpot portfolio includes more than 25 titles, including games such as MGM Grand Millions, Bison Fury, and 15 Lanterns.
Players on the platform can earn BetMGM Rewards Points and Tier Credits, which can be redeemed for digital bonuses or converted into MGM Rewards points and Marriott Bonvoy loyalty points.
Responsible gambling remains a core focus for BetMGM. The operator integrates the GameSense responsible gaming program, developed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, across its mobile and desktop platforms to promote safe and responsible gameplay in the online casino environment.
