MGM Resorts International introduced its online casino gaming and poker site in 2017, under the PlayMGM brand. Last September, it added a mobile sportsbook and rebranded itself as BetMGM.
A product of Roar Digital (“roar” for the MGM lion), BetMGM’s New Jersey site offers the complete package: online casino, iPoker, and mobile sports betting, all in an app that’s attractive and easy to navigate.
In a couple of states, BetMGM offers sports betting only, and that list will certainly grow as more states go live with legal bets. In addition to Nevada, Indiana, and West Virginia, BetMGM just launched in Colorado, which started mobile sports bets on May 1, despite the current lack of major sporting events.
Generous Sign-Up Bonuses
In the plus column, BetMGM rolls out the welcome mat for new players, offering a 100% first-deposit match up to $1,000, as well as $25 on the house, just for registering.
Once you’re signed up, the promotions just keep coming. Here are just a few:
- The Money Monday Club (a $10 free bet when you wager $50, a nice way to start your week)
- WiFi Wednesdays (same deal, $10 free when you wager $50 at the slots or tables)
- The Bet 10/Get 10 promotion (get $10 casino free play when you make any futures bet)
- The Daily Wheel Spin, where you can spin to win one of five bonus prizes, including free spins on MGM’s popular Starburst slot, along with deposit boosts and up to $100 free play
Special promos are added regularly.
A fun recent addition is Trivia Quiz, also offered daily and for free at BetMGM.com. If you’re a fan of Trivial Pursuit, Jeopardy! and other quiz-style games, you’ll love these trivia tests, which test your knowledge of geography, sports, and other categories. This one’s from BetMGM and Irish sports game provider SportCaller. Best of all, though Trivia Quiz is 100% free to play, you can still win big bucks. And who wouldn’t welcome a cash windfall right about now?.
Online Casino
Check in at BetMGM’s online casino for a mind-boggling selection of slots, including popular titles from IGT (Kitty Glitter, DaVinci Diamonds); WMS (Cash Spin, Fu Dao Le); and NetEnt (Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst).
There are at least a dozen versions of Slingo, and loads of jackpot slots like Melon Madness Deluxe, Loot’en Khamun, Mercy of the Gods and that player favorite, Divine Fortune, which has made headlines as one of the winningest progressives ever.
Again, new games are added regularly—BetMGM keeps mixing it up, giving players plenty of variety.
Online Sportsbook
No surprise that the BetMGM sports betting app is also streamlined, intuitive, and simple to navigate.
Our overall impression so far is that BetMGM Online Sportsbook is a capable sportsbook that strikes the right balance between offering a comprehensive wagering experience while still being fairly easy to use. It offers a ton of homegrown and international sports, including our favorites—NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB—along with MMA/UFC, cycling, tennis, cricket, rugby, soccer, darts, golf, auto sports, esports—you name it.
Standard wagers are on tap, such as point spreads, money lines, over/under point totals, futures, parlays, teasers, and props. In-play betting is also offered for most major sports events.
