Chris Rock Is Back And Better Than Ever With BetMGM

Some collaborations are a perfect match. That’s why BetMGM, owned by LeoVegas, has teamed up once again with legendary comedian Chris Rock to bring the thrill of Las Vegas to the UK’s betting scene. The second instalment of the ‘It’s Showtime!’ campaign, this time titled “Chris Rockin’ Locker Room Speech”, hit screens on the 17th October across TV, digital, radio, and social platforms, with Rock (and his trademark high-energy vibe) returning as the face of BetMGM.

This latest ad is aimed at drawing in new betting audiences here at home. Let’s break it down and take a closer look at how BetMGM plans to take the UK by storm.

Chris Rockin’ the Locker Room

The 30-second spot was led by creative agency Recipe who partnered with BetMGM, despite a brief breakup earlier in the year, to continue the brand’s campaign.

And who better than Chris Rock to get the message across that BetMGM is a top platform, offering a huge range of features like bet builders, price boosts, and live play features! In full tuxedo and amidst the gold and glamour of Vegas, Rock commands a locker room of athletes to “get out there and entertain us!” From footballers to darts players and horse racers, the men and women athletes are hyped to bring their best game. We especially like the cheeky nod to the quintessentially British sport cricket, when Rock jokes to a fully clad, bat-holding player, “I don’t know what you do, but y’all get out there and entertain us!”

Dan Jacobs, creative founder of Recipe, summed up the campaign’s energy perfectly, mimicking some of Rock’s lines:

 “Yo UK, listen up! Damn, it’s good to be back. This time it’s bigger, bolder, and way more Chris Rock. BetMGM are taking the UK market by storm, and this next iteration supports that, and then some”.

Meanwhile, LeoVegas Group’s Director of Brand, Dan Towse, added: “This new creative territory of the ‘Chris Rockin’ Locker Room Speech’ builds on the launch campaign from last year, and it’s great to be working with comedian Chris Rock again for the latest iteration. A huge amount of work has gone into this, and everyone from the internal teams to the support of Recipe and the production house has delivered an outstanding creative platform.”
