Non-retail commerce media channels typically mean payments, travel, and intermediaries that overlap with retail. But more nontraditional commerce media networks have been popping up from places like Mohegan’s casinos, RE/MAX’s real estate websites, and Planet Fitness’ gyms.

These commerce media networks don’t have retail media’s proximity to point of sale, but they do have engaged audiences, new inventory, and a valuable understanding of consumer behavior.

1. Mohegan’s casino media network

The most recent of these new retail media plays came from Mohegan, which launched what it calls the industry’s first casino media network. The ad network currently offers ads on its gambling apps and websites, with a focus on travel, restaurants within the casino, upcoming events, and nearby businesses, according to Rich Roberts, president of digital gaming at Mohegan.

Looking ahead: Mohegan hopes to show out-of-home (OOH) ads on slot machines and around casinos based on data attached to casino player cards, but the network is still determining what that will look like. “A lot of this we’re still working out,” Roberts said. “This is new and something different.”

Unique value: Brands gain legitimacy by being associated with the Mohegan brand, according to Roberts. “[If] Mohegan is partnered with this company, right away our customer is going ‘Oh, Mohegan is recommending it, we should pay attention.’”

Gaming apps and casinos are places where consumers already expect to see promotions and distractions, so new ads may not be totally unwelcome.

2. RE/MAX’s real estate media network

In another first, RE/MAX launched its real estate media network late last year, which will serve search ads for businesses related to home improvement, insurance, and safety. “We want brands that are really going to elevate us and partner with us, helping the home-buyer and seller in their journey,” said Abby Lee, executive vice president of marketing communications and events.

During game 2 of the Indiana Fever’s WNBA playoffs series against the Connecticut Sun, Fever superstar Caitlin Clark and former Connecticut Sun standout DeWanna Bonner got into a feisty physical exchange.

Clark took a three-point shot while being guarded by Bonner just a few minutes into the game. Clark missed the shot but thought Bonner fouled her when she attempted to land.

As a result, Clark began complaining to the referee. Bonner didn’t seem to appreciate this, as she began chirping at Clark; to which the rookie responded by shoving Bonner, which the veteran responded to by swiping Clark’s arm away from her.

The Sun ultimately won the game and the series. However, Bonner has also recently joined the Indiana Fever in free agency.

During her introductory press conference with the Fever on February 10, Bonner was asked directly about this physical exchange with Clark (while Clark was listening to her from a few feet away).

“I’m glad you asked that question because my inbox has been going crazy about that moment. But I think it’s just two competitive players that want to win and push to get over the finish line. It’s playoffs, so emotions are high, tensions are high,” Bonner said about this exchange after being asked about it directly by The Athletic staff writer James Boyd.

“But I couldn’t be more excited to step on the court with Caitlin. We actually had a great workout this morning, and I think we just feed well off of each other,” Bonner continued. “So I’m just here to hopefully give my little leadership advice, I don’t think I need to push her to be any type of player…

UNCASVILLE, CT – On Saturday, February 15, Ricky de los Santos (12-1, 3 KOs) defends his WBC US Silver Featherweight Title against unbeaten New England Super Featherweight & Lightweight Champion“King” Kevin Walsh (15-0, 8 KOs).

The pair collide on CES Boxing’s massive ‘Love & War’ card taking place at Mohegan Sun Arena and broadcast live globally on DAZN.  Tickets on sale now at CESFights.com, TicketMaster or the Mohegan Sun Arena box office.

At first glance, the fighters have much in common: they have emerged as the top 2 featherweights in the northeast US, each coming off the biggest win of their respective careers last year at Mohegan Sun Arena. 

De los Santos won the WBC title against Nathan Martinez via unanimous decision in February, while Walsh dispatched of Irvin Gonzalez in 4 rounds to pick up the New England Super Featherweight title in November.  They also proudly represent the fighting New England cities of Brockton, MA (Walsh) and Pawtucket, RI (de los Santos). 

The pugilists recently sat down with The Final Bell podcast to discuss a showdown that many believe will steal the show on Saturday night.  They showed mutual respect and acknowledged the other’s strengths, but with emotions running high, they also traded a few barbs.

“He’s a tough fighter,” said Walsh when assessing de los Santos.  “He’s fast, he’s got skills and good footwork.  I’m looking forward to the challenge.  These are the moments I live for.”

Walsh had a late start in boxing.  The 32-year-old turned pro in 2021 and reeled off 15 victories in only 4 years.  2024 was his best year to date, as the Brockton native fought 5 times and won 2 titles.  With each outing, Walsh steadily increased his level of opposition and showed marked improvement, something that’s not lost on de los Santos.

“I know Kevin’s coming to fight,” said the…

Julian Lane is aging like a fine wine.

“You ain’t lying,” the battle-tested Lane says with a laugh. “I tell myself that almost every day.”

A true pioneer of bare knuckle fighting, Lane made his promotional debut at BKFC 4 in 2019. Classic battles with iconic fighters like “Platinum” Mike Perry, David “Redneck” Mundell and Thiago “Pitbull” Alves made Lane an instant favorite in the Squared Circle. Although always tenacious and exciting to BKFC fans, Lane struggled to string wins together earlier in his bare knuckle fighting career.

Now, five years since his BKFC debut, the 37-year-old Mansfield, OH product brings an impressive three-fight winning streak into his Main Event showdown with Cameron VanCamp on Saturday, LIVE globally on DAZN from the legendary Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT.

The biggest reason for Lane’s recent surge up the rankings, he says, is maturity.

“Less fun and more work,” he offers, smiling. “I’ve been taking my training very seriously. Training harder and just going with the flow, man.”

Lane is in awe of BKFC’s growth in recent years. Hot on the heels of the biggest event in BKFC history — KnuckleMania V on Saturday at the sold-out Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia — he’s eager to steal the show at Mohegan Sun. It’s a crucial step in his mission to win the BKFC World Welterweight Championship in 2025.

Lane’s journey hasn’t been easy. He says that fact will make his title reign that much sweeter.

“That’s always been my goal. Every time I fight, I always want to be the best in the world. With what I’ve been through — the ups and the downs — this will show people that anything is possible if you set your mind to it and you work hard,” Lane says.

“The new me is here,”…
