BetMGM launched in 2018 as a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Entain. It pairs one of the most famous names in Las Vegas with a global online gambling specialist. Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, it’s a top online casino operator in the US and the #3 sportsbook behind FanDuel and DraftKings. It holds a 20% share of the iGaming markets where it operates.

BetMGM is licensed and regulated in every state it operates in. It runs a sportsbook in 23 states plus DC and Puerto Rico, an online casino in four states, and BetMGM Poker. Its biggest advantage over rivals is the link to MGM’s resorts: online play earns rewards you can use at properties like the Bellagio, MGM Grand and Borgata.

What stands out

The casino is BetMGM’s strongest product. It has 2,000+ games from IGT, Light & Wonder, NetEnt, Evolution, Playtech and Everi, plus exclusives like Bellagio Fountains of Fortune and MGM-branded live tables. The MGM Grand Millions progressive is linked across all four casino states and starts at $1 million. New casino players can collect up to 1,000 bonus spins and use a daily Spin the Wheel for deposit matches worth up to $1,400.

On the sportsbook, new bettors get up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if their first bet loses. Edit My Bet lets you add, swap or remove parlay legs, or raise your stake, after placing a bet. There are also same-game parlays, Parlay Plus boosts of up to 40%, early cash-out, live betting and free streaming on select sports.

BetMGM Rewards is the most valuable loyalty program in regulated US gambling. Every bet earns BetMGM Rewards Points and MGM Rewards Tier Credits. Those can go toward site credit, hotel stays, dining and shows at MGM resorts, or even Marriott Bonvoy points. PayPal, Venmo, Play+ and Visa withdrawals typically clear within 24 hours.

Worth knowing before you sign up

BetMGM is only available where online betting or casino gaming is legal. The online casino runs in just four states: NJ, PA, MI and WV. The $1,500 sportsbook offer only pays out if your first bet loses. Larger losses come back as five separate bonus bets, all expiring in 7 days. In MI, NJ, PA and WV a different, smaller offer applies. The casino spins winnings carry a 10x playthrough, higher than some rivals. BetMGM no longer accepts credit cards, there’s no phone support, and some withdrawals can take up to five business days for review.

The verdict

BetMGM is the pick for casino-first players and anyone who visits MGM resorts. It has one of the deepest online casinos in the US, the MGM Grand Millions jackpot and a rewards program that turns online play into real-world comps. Add a high-value sportsbook welcome offer and Edit My Bet, and it’s a strong all-rounder in every state where it’s live.
