If you have not heard of BetMGM, then here’s a quick summary. BetMGM is a joint, online betting, venture between MGM Resorts International and gambling giant, Entain Holdings. The company’s website states that BetMGM is “revolutionizing sports betting and online gaming in United States.”
In March 2022, the company announcedJamie Foxxas its brand ambassador and the actor has appeared in a few commercials for it as well. Not only that, his name is also plastered on BetMGM’s company website and social media.
Now, we all know and love Foxx’s ability to bring out the best in every role he takes on. However, it seems like the ads couldn’t do justice to his talent. The ads also feature a few other celebrities including Kevin Garnett, Barry Sanders, andHigh School Musicalfame,Vanessa Hudgens.

Fans Aren’t Pleased with Jamie Foxx
Whether it is the constant replaying of the ads on social media, the sub-par acting from those involved, or the fact that the company shows a harmful industry in a positive light, Foxx’s BetMGM’s ads have not been received well by the fans.
On Reddit, a user blasted Foxx’s BetMGM commercials on the subreddit, r-CommecialsIHate. The post reads,“I never disliked Jamie Foxx until this ad played over and over again.”And the user’s views were shared by many others who were absolutely frustrated with the commercials for more reasons than one.
A user wrote,“That’s Jamie? Man talk about a fall and a half,”with another commenting,“I despise those commercials.”The hate for Foxx’s newest side gig ranged from“Yeah cause it’s the perfect time to gamble with some people being out of work due to the pandemic”to“I’m getting SO FCKING TIRED of his bullsit ad interrupting my Shark Tank episode 3-4 times a f*cking episode.”Needless to say, fans are not happy.
Elsewhere, someone commented on Foxx’s credibility and wondered how such a huge star could advertise a product like BetMGM.
“The notion that someone like Jamie Foxx, a role model of sorts, would be advertising it is a new low.”
After seeing Foxx in films likeDjango Unchained, Baby Driver, Ali, Spider-Man: No Way Home,and more, fans were right to question the actor’s sudden need to become the face of BetMGM. There’s a huge chance that Foxx is simply in it for the money, although we don’t know how much he is getting paid for the job.
