BetMGM is a joint venture from MGM Resorts International, which is the longtime hospitality and entertainment spinoff of the famed MGM media company, and Entain Holdings, the operator behind several online betting services with licenses around the world, including in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
The venture was established in July 2018, and since then BetMGM has become a popular platform for sports bettors wherever it has launched, which now includes 11 jurisdictions in the United States.
Many users opt for BetMGM's mobile apps, which are available for Android and iOS, and there is also an interface for desktop users, with the BetMGM landing page prompting them to choose the jurisdiction where they are located.
Here are some key observations about BetMGM, and how Audacy/BetQL has been able to integrate them into our affiliate partnerships.
Where can I use the BetMGM sports betting app?
- The BetMGM mobile and online sports betting apps are available in Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia. In addition to sports betting, casino gaming is also available to users in most of these locations.
- If you live outside any of these jurisdictions but happen to visit for work or any other reason, you are permitted to wager while there.
- BetMGM was also expected to be available to users in Arizona, Louisiana, and Maryland -- if in fact sports betting is approved by regulators in those states, which some reports said could happen before the end of 2021.
What sports can I wager on?
- There's a wide array of competitions to bet on for just about any sports fan, including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, all the major men's and women's college sports, including but not limited to football, basketball, baseball and hockey, as well as PGA golf, tennis, soccer, UFC and other mixed martial arts, boxing, auto racing, rugby, lacrosse, pool, cycling, cricket, and more.
Promos
- BetMGM's sign-up bonuses can vary by state, but in most locations a new user's first bet is "risk-free" up to $1,000. That means if you lose your first bet, up to $1,000, you'll still have the same amount available to you in free bets.
- There are several other wager- and sport-specific promotions regularly available, such as Parlay Plus (through 2021), which is a 40% booster on winning parlays of 4-7 events. There's also Money Monday Club, a $10 free bet on Mondays for users who wagered at least $50 the preceding week, as well as Get Your Stake Back, a "mulligan" up to $25 on losing golf bets when your chosen golfer loses but finishes within the top 5.

Live Betting
- Live betting is a prominent feature on BetMGM platforms, allowing users to wager on events as they unfold in real time. On desktop, the live betting icon can be found next to the home button in the top left-hand corner of the sports betting page.
Responsible Gaming and Education
- BetMGM's responsible gaming page can be found in the About Us section, which seems to appear at the bottom of any BetMGM page you visit. There you can find information about the warning signs of gambling addiction, how to seek help if you or someone you know needs it, as well as basic principles of responsible gaming, preventative measures, and research on the topic.
Deposit/Withdrawal
- Options include VIP Preferred, Play+, VISA debit and credit cards, PayPal, American Express, Discover, M life Rewards Mastercard, and more. Some, like PayNearMe and the BetMGM gift card, may vary by state.
Customer Service
Customer service and contact information can be found by clicking on "General Terms and Conditions," which is listed under the About Us section that appears toward the bottom on any BetMGM page. There, you will be routed depending on the nature of your question. Live chat is available for some questions, and an email support address is also listed (e.g. support.nj@betmgm.com).
