BetMGM

BetMGM is a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and UK-based Entain, launched in 2018. It draws on MGM's retail casino footprint (Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Detroit, and beyond) alongside an aggressive mobile expansion. The book is known for deep MGM Rewards integration and strong NFL markets.

Our take Most valuable to players who already use MGM Rewards. The $1,500 first-bet is a real edge for high-roller new users.
