BetMGM announced on Thursday it is expanding its retail and mobile sports betting offerings outside of the United States mainland. The company announced in a press release it has agreed to a strategic partnership with San Juan-based Casino del Mar at La Concha Resort in Puerto Rico.
As part of this deal, BetMGM will open a sportsbook at La Concha Resort and launch the BetMGM mobile app throughout Puerto Rico once the regulated market begins.
“At Casino del Mar at La Concha Resort we strive every day to provide the best gaming experience on the island and this new venture alongside BetMGM is a great example of this,” Sigfrido De Jesús, the General Manager of Casino del Mar at La Concha, said in the release. “Sports fans in Puerto Rico will now add excitement to their pastime with the possibility of winning more than just a game by their favorite team. BetMGM is the perfect addition to our cutting-edge gaming offerings with high-tech slot machines and card tables, available 24/7 at our casino.”
“This marks a major milestone for BetMGM, as we share plans to bring our sports betting platform outside of the U.S. mainland for the first time,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt in the release. “La Concha Resort is an ideal partner, and together we look forward to bringing BetMGM’s retail and mobile sports betting experiences to sports fans across Puerto Rico.”
