BetMGM, a key player in the iGaming and sports betting industry, has ushered in a groundbreaking development by introducing the first sports betting app that provides seamless, nationwide connectivity for Nevada bettors through a single digital wallet. This advancement is in partnership with MGM Resorts International and leverages technology from Entain, positioning BetMGM as the only legal sports betting app allowing users in Nevada to wager within the state and access their funds across BetMGM mobile markets throughout the United States.
Enhancing user experience with a unified account:
Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, expressed pride in leading this initiative in Nevada, saying in Entain’s press release, “We’re proud to lead the charge in Nevada with a single account and wallet that simplifies and elevates the betting experience. Our players can now immerse themselves in the excitement of MGM Resorts’ Las Vegas destinations or statewide while seamlessly continuing to place wagers in other BetMGM markets.”
This innovative feature allows users to register just once in-person at any MGM Resorts property in Nevada. Following registration, they can enjoy the enhanced sports betting app across all U.S. BetMGM mobile markets. Registration involves downloading the mobile app, completing verification steps, and finalizing the process at one of BetMGM’s nine retail sportsbooks located in premier destinations including Bellagio, ARIA, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, among others.
The convenience extends to when users travel across states. Upon opening the app in a different jurisdiction, they are greeted with a pop-up message that allows them to switch to the local BetMGM market. Alternatively, users can manually select their desired market within the app’s account section, ensuring continuity in their betting experience.
In February, BetMGM launched a redesigned mobile sports betting app in Nevada featuring a broader range of Entain’s Angstrom-powered prop and parlay offerings, along with easier digital deposits and withdrawals. With the 2024 professional football season approaching, several new product enhancements are anticipated to further elevate the BetMGM user experience.
For new Nevada users, the app offers a first bet incentive: up to $250 paid back in bonus bets (this offer is exclusive to Nevada). These bonus bets are non-withdrawable and must be used within seven days. Existing users can explore various promotions, such as parlay boost tokens and odds boosts, through the app’s promotions tab. Additionally, betting on BetMGM Sportsbook allows players to earn rewards points and tier credits, redeemable for digital bonuses and points within the MGM Rewards framework.
Commitment to responsible gambling:
As BetMGM expands its reach across North America, now operating in 29 markets, the company remains committed to responsible gambling. BetMGM has integrated GameSense into its mobile and desktop platforms, a leading program developed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and licensed to MGM Resorts. This integration ensures that customers receive consistent support as enjoyed at MGM Resorts properties across the nation, enhancing BetMGM’s suite of responsible gambling tools designed to provide a safe and enjoyable digital betting environment.
