BetMGM review

BetMGM Sportsbook is the betting brand of MGM Resorts International and they have excellent promotions for registered bettors that creates an excellent wagering experience for all.

The variety of sports to bet on at BetMGM can’t be matched and they are also one of the few sportsbooks to offer live streaming.

The odds available on BetMGM are amongst the best out there which ensures you’ll get the best returns on bets, especially on NFL and MLB where they excel. As well, the promotions such as parlay insurance give you some respite if your multi is just one leg away from landing.

Unfortunately, the BetMGM mobile app is poor to a point that those who prefer to bet on their phone are better served using a different sportsbook.

Where is BetMGM Available in the US?

BetMGM is one of the most readily-available sportsbooks in the US, often being one of the first operators to be granted a license when a new state legalizes online sports wagering.

Having a license in any state ensures the legitimacy of BetMGM as these licenses come with legal assurances that sportsbooks will follow the regulation set out in each state.

BetMGM Welcome Bonus

BetMGM have one of the best bonuses available of any betting site with a $1,000 risk free bet that is the same in all 16 states where they operate.

It is also simple to access, with no strict rules to follow, and the value of the BetMGM bonus will appeal to almost every single potential bettor. As well, there are no wagering requirements on the free bet.

BetMGM welcome bonus

Max bonus $1,000 Bonus percentage 100% Wagering requirements None Time to complete the wagering requirements N/A	Expiry date 7 days Minimum odds None Bonus code None Sports restrictions None

A $1,000 risk-free first bet at BetMGM Sportsbook is certainly very appealing because of the potential amount, with losing free bets being received if your first real-money bet loses. The $1,000 amount puts it near the top of the tree when it comes to sportsbook offers, with only PointsBet offering more.

What sets this welcome bonus apart is that you can get the bonus as multiple free bets, rather than a lump sum. If your qualifying bet loses and is greater than $50, you will receive five BetMGM free bets back in denominations of 20% of the total free bet amount you are eligible for.

To put this simply, if you wager $1,000 and it loses, you will receive five separate $200 BetMGM free bets. If you wager $40 and it loses, you will receive a single $40 free bet.

BetMGM Bonus T&Cs

There are some important terms and conditions for the welcome bonus to note when you register with BetMGM.

They are all common terms that you’ll find at most sportsbooks, but pay close attention to the fact that you have to wager your free bet within seven days of receipt.

BetMGM can improve their deposit methods by offering more than they do in the states with very few options, especially where VISA and Mastercard are unavailable.

How to Withdraw at BetMGM

Withdrawal options at BetMGM are different by state, with some locations only having two methods whilst others boast up to seven available ways. Each withdrawal method and the time it takes for money to hit your account can be found below:

• VIP Preferred: 2-4 days
• VISA: Within 24 hours
• Mastercard: Within 24 hours
• PayPal: Within 24 hours
• Online Banking: 2-4 days
• Bank Transfer: 2-4 days
• Cash at Cage: Immediate

Whilst the withdrawal options vary by state, the time taken for payout remains the same.

BetMGM Mobile App

BetMGM have a mobile app for both iOS and Android, which makes it available on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android phones and Android tablets.

Both can be downloaded from their respective stores – iOS from App Store and Android from Google Play.

The BetMGM app looks pretty and has an identical layout to the desktop sportsbook, but it is not without its problems.

Having tested the app, we found that it was slow and occasionally totally unresponsive, as well as being susceptible to bugs when logging in.

Live chat is incredibly difficult to find without going through a lengthy series of menus, which is also true of the desktop website and contributes to it being far from one of the best betting apps.

Geo-location with BetMGM

BetMGM and other betting sites cannot accept bets from locations outside of the states where they have licenses, even if you signed up in one of those states or live there.

You have to download Geocomply location software from BetMGM to be able to bet with them. This plugin detects which state you are in and is available from the BetMGM website when you try to place a bet.

If you’ve already got it installed and running, you’ll be able to wager without any issues.

To place bets on the app, your phone’s geo-location has to be turned on and there is no need to download anything. If you are connecting via WiFi or data then your location will be detected automatically.

BetMGM Customer Support

Customer support at BetMGM is very good with knowledgeable reps available via both live chat and email. You should expect to wait up to 48 hours for an email response but in our experience, live chat takes a maximum of 10 minutes for an agent to reply.

The help section is found at the top right of the website but one frustrating thing is that you can’t go straight to live chat or email. Instead, you have to navigate through their FAQ section to see if your query can be answered there.

BetMGM customer support

Live chat Open 24/7 Email Submit email queries via form in help section Phone number None FAQ Detailed

Betting with BetMGM Up Close

BetMGM’s home page is a little bit busy with a line of odds boosts and individual games laid out at the top, as well as a carousel displaying promotions.

However, that does not detract from the fact that BetMGM make it incredibly easy to find the sports you want to bet on as well as specific leagues to save you from multiple clicks.

For instance, there is a row of popular sports leagues and events right at the top, making it easy for the bettor to navigate to what they want to bet on.

BetMGM’s betting odds are amongst the best in the business, particularly for NFL and MLB where they are frequently best price on moneyline in both sports.

One of the most impressive features of BetMGM is their range of betting features, giving you full control over your wagering thanks to early cash out, easy parlays, and one game parlays available in almost every sport.

You can read more about each section by using the buttons below to navigate at your own freewill.

Sports Available to Bet On

BetMGM offer a fantastic range of sports that really cannot be beaten by any other betting site. As well as the major sports and leagues that you would expect to find anywhere, BetMGM have a variety of minor sports like handball and ski jumping.

They have thousands of soccer matches spanning over 50 countries available to bet on, which contrasts with some other betting sites that only provide a handful of leagues.

In total, BetMGM have 28 different sports but there are some differences in availability per state.

At the time of this BetMGM review, Athletics betting was only accessible in Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, Tennesse and West Virginia. Darts was not shown in Iowa, Michigan, Virginia and Wyoming.

Other Sports

Not only do BetMGM provide a vast assortment of sports outside of NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and NCAA, they also deliver plenty of markets and betting options from countries you would not normally associate with being world-leaders in the sport.

For example, soccer markets include domestic tournaments in countries such as Bahrain and Cyprus.

• Athletics
• Australian Rules
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Beach Volleyball
• Biathlon
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Football
• Formula 1
• Golf
• Handball
• Hockey
• Lacrosse
• MMA
• NASCAR
• Pool
• Rugby League
• Rugby Union
• Ski Jumping
• Snooker
• Soccer
• Specials
• Table Tennis
• Tennis
• Volleyball

Sports are subject to change depending on state.

Odds Comparison

BetMGM’s odds are extremely competitive compared to other major betting sites such as DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook, often providing industry-leading prices on main NFL and MLB markets.

Odds tend to change as an event approaches but when writing this BetMGM Sportsbook review, we still found that their prices generally remain competitive even when that happens.

BetMGM Sportsbook’s odds are some of the best available to US bettors and they are extremely consistent in this aspect of the sportsbook.

Using the ‘Anytime Touchdown Scorer’ market in Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an example, BetMGM have better odds on almost every player compared to FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook.

BetMGM Blog and Betting Picks

BetMGM boast one of the most comprehensive and well-maintained blogs of any sports betting site, offering tips and predictions as well as general guides to wagering.

On top of a written blog, BetMGM also provide four audio podcasts with regular episodes as well as occasional videos for bettors who prefer content in either of those formats.

BetMGM’s blog is an excellent offering and especially useful for newer bettors or people who don’t always have time to do research into games they want to bet on.

Relevancy

BetMGM’s blog is extremely relevant to sporting events happening. They have tips for upcoming games, betting guides for new bettors, and insights into which teams are popular amongst the betting public.

Reliability

Tips tend to come from podcasts and are for a range of sports including MLB, NCAA Football and Soccer. Although not always winners, tipsters do provide rationale behind their picks.

Update frequency

BetMGM update their blog multiple times per day, with some days seeing as many as six different posts. They post sparingly on weekends.

US sports coverage

The majority of BetMGM’s blog posts are about the ‘big four’ sports as well as college sports. At the time of this review, NFL and NCAA Football dominated updates as those seasons were about to start.

Other sports coverage

BetMGM also offer blog posts about other sports, including Premier League soccer and golf. These tend to only be occasional and a maximum of once per week.

Media format

Most blog posts are written but BetMGM also have four podcasts available which are released regularly, as well as sporadic video content.

Bet Slip

BetMGM’s bet slip is easy to use and like other major sportsbooks in the US, provides help where necessary and has tabs for straight bets, parlays, and round robins.

One of the things that sets BetMGM’s bet slip apart from the rest is the ability to easily swap a pick with another from the same game. For instance, if you choose Dallas Cowboys +8 but then decide you would prefer to bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -8, all you have to do is click on the arrows next to the selection and choose the bet you want.

Betting Markets

BetMGM Sportsbook offer a variety of betting options across their wide array of sports, providing upwards of 80 betting options for games in the major US leagues. This is slightly fewer than other major sportsbooks available such as PointsBet and FanDuel Sportsbook, who both provide well over 100 markets.

Betting markets are split into sections at the top of each game, such as “Main”, “Spreads” and “Player Props”, which is a convenient feature to help find the betting market you want.

Available betting markets include:

• Moneyline
• Spread
• Total
• Game Props
• Team Props
• Player Props
• Half Betting
• Quarter Betting
• Anytime Scorers

BetMGM are one of the better sportsbooks for market range but they are still behind other top betting sites, particularly in NFL and MLB.

There is unfortunately no search function within a game to find the market or option you want, but this is the only blemish on BetMGM in this section.

NFL

NFL betting at BetMGM gives punters plenty of options, with every single game available to bet on as well as a diverse range of futures and some decent promotions.

They also offer competitive, sometimes industry-leading, odds on the main markets of moneyline, spread and totals, as well as live betting on all games.

BetMGM’s NFL margins are the standard 4.8% which means they will usually offer -110 on both sides of the spread, but alternate spread markets usually have slightly larger margins of over 5%.

NFL

Margins 4.8% NFL betting markets 79 Odds Strong Min/max bet $0.50/variable Promotions Parlay Plus, King of the Weekend, One Game Parlay Insurance

Football Promotions at BetMGM

BetMGM currently offer three season-long promotions that can be applied to football, which is in line with other betting sites. It is worth noting that the sportsbook did have other promotions active prior to the season starting but these expired before the first game kicked off.

Three promotions is an excellent offering by BetMGM, even if one of them is not NFL-specific. What makes the range especially attractive is that punters are rewarded for placing bets they may already have done anyway.

NBA

The NBA season was still over a month from starting at the time of writing and as a result, BetMGM are only offering basic markets.

Unsurprisingly, this is the same situation as other betting sites such as DraftKings and FanDuel.

NBA

Margins 4.8% NBA betting markets Odds Strong Min/max bet $0.50/variable Promotions Parlay Plus

It is difficult to assess BetMGM’s NBA betting with only a handful of markets available, however it is almost certain that they will provide plenty more when the season starts.

Basketball Promotions at BetMGM

BetMGM are yet to offer any specific basketball promotions but this may change as the season approaches.

NHL

Despite the season still being some weeks away at the time of this BetMGM review, NHL betting markets are broad and diverse – blowing other sportsbooks out of the water.

The betting site has a full range of usual game options plus correct score and game props, although they are yet to add player props.

NHL

Margins 4.5% NHL betting markets 73 Odds Strong Min/max bet $0.50/variable Promotions Parlay Plus

Ice Hockey Promotions at BetMGM

BetMGM do not have any hockey promotions at present but could be set to offer some when the new season begins.

MLB

MLB betting lines are generally added quite quickly by BetMGM, although in some cases we found that they are released only a few hours before the scheduled start time.

Aside from that, their odds are extremely competitive and are sometimes market leaders in spread, moneyline and total. As well, their range of 59 markets offer bettors plenty of options for each game.

The 4.5% margin that BetMGM offers makes it one of the market leaders in MLB as it slightly undercuts the usual 4.8%

MLB

Margins 4.5% MLB betting markets 59 Odds Strong Min/max bet $0.50/variable Promotions King of the Weekend, Hit the Cycle, Parlay Plus

The only thing missing from BetMGM’s baseball markets is a better selection of futures. They offer only World Series markets whilst other betting sites have ones such as MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Cy Young Winner.

Baseball Promotions at BetMGM

BetMGM set themselves apart with their baseball promotions, having two which are available throughout the season. Other major betting sites have no promotions which run throughout the season.

These two BetMGM promotions are a good balance as one is free and the other rewards bettors for placing bets, which makes this an impressive offering by the betting site.

NCAA

BetMGM offer every college game in both football and basketball, which is standard across major betting sites and puts them in line with sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel.

They have an extensive range of markets but this does differ by location due to state regulations on college sports betting which is no fault of BetMGM, and their odds are generally competitive.

NCAA

Margins 4.5% NCAA betting markets 104 Odds Strong Min/max bet $0.50/variable Promotions One Game Parlay Insurance, Parlay Plus

NCAA Betting Promotions at BetMGM

BetMGM only have one promotion for college sports at time of writing but the different state regulation does make it more difficult for any betting site to offer more or more complex ones.

Although this promotion is almost identical to the NFL one, it is not a bad thing as it still appeals to the majority of bettors. As well, other major betting sites do not offer college football promotions and so BetMGM already lead the way in that regard.

BetMGM Betting Features

BetMGM are one of the best sportsbooks when it comes to features offered, providing a multitude of options that will suit just about every bettor.

• 

  Early cashout

  Early cashout lets bettors settle their bets early for a pre-determined cash value. Not all bets are eligible for it but those that are will have a cashout value displayed in the ‘My Bets’ tab.

  BetMGM take this one step further by having auto cashout, which lets users set a value and the bet will automatically be cashed out if it reaches that amount.

• 

  Live streaming

  BetMGM offer live streaming on select tennis, soccer and NBA games, allowing bettors to watch games on desktop or mobile. Only a handful of games are available to stream and customers must be logged in to watch.

• 

  Bet builder/Same game parlay

  Called One Game Parlay at BetMGM, this tool allows customers to combine multiple events from the same match into a single bet. This is available on a variety of sports including the big four.

• 

  Easy parlay

  Easy Parlay is a tool which helps bettors put together parlays without the effort. The option can be found at the top of BetMGM’s homepage and the page displays games which can be easily added into a parlay.

• 

  Edit bet

  BetMGM do not currently offer an option to edit your bet after it has been placed.

Providing four out these five features gives bettors almost as much control as possible over their bets, with the added auto cashout option particularly enticing.

As well, the live streaming option puts BetMGM well above other betting sites, with very few other competitors having it. The only room for improvement on that front is adding a menu to see which streamable games and events are coming up.

BetMGM Live Sports Betting

BetMGM have live sports betting available on almost every sport, including the main US sports and other sports like tennis and soccer.

Live betting is easy to find, located at the top of the page next to the home button, and BetMGM split live games into individual sports to make it even simpler.

Most live events have a decent number of markets but they really excel when it comes to NFL, with football games having upwards of 150 markets offered including next touchdown scorer, race to 10 points, result of next play, and in-play spread betting.

Typical NBA, MLB, and NHL games have around 100 each so there is plenty to chew on each night such as props for each individual player and live odds on the main betting markets of spread, moneyline, and totals.
