The best choices for playing online usually lay with sites that are linked to physical, brick-and-mortar casinos. This is especially true with the two online sites sponsored by MGM Resorts International, BetMGM (betmgm.com) and Borgata (borgataonline.com).
It all starts with one of the better sign-up bonuses around. Signing up for a new account on either BetMGM or Borgata and depositing at least $10 generates a 100 percent deposit match up to $1,000, plus a Casino Bonus of $25 ($20 for Borgata). The deposit match is subject to a wagering requirement based on the type of game you play, and the Casino Bonus is available immediately.

Once you’re a member, there are great promotions available that often are tied to physical MGM casinos, including a great current promo involving the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Aside from that, players can link their online accounts to their MGM Rewards player club account and earn points through online play that can be redeemed at MGM casinos and Marriott hotels nationwide.
