BetMGM Sports Review

MGM is one of the best known casino companies in the US. It has casinos across the nation as well as in Macau, China. It has been a long-time sports betting operator in Nevada where the BetMGM sportsbook app was first introduced.

MGM has entered a partnership with GVC, a UK company which owns PartyPoker amongst other brands. The MGM lion is world famous, and in homage to the brand, the new partnership is called Roar Interactive.

Each company is seeding the business with $100 million and it plans to roll out sports betting, online casino and online poker across the US wherever it is legal to do so.

BetMGM offers a $25 free bet after you have opened an account and become a verified player. As soon as BetMGM has verified that you are over 21 and eligible to play it adds $25 to your account.

You can use this money immediately, but cannot cash it out, or any winnings you make with it until you have earned 150 iReward points.

BetMGM offers a matching first deposit bonus of up to $1,000.

This offer only stands for seven days after signing up for an account at BetMGM. To sign up, follow the ink below and use Promo Code NEWWORLD1 when prompted.

This bonus can be cashed out after earning 6x the bonus amount.

Note that the casino app and sportsbook app are different, but you can link the two. Download the main casino app, then download the sports app, then link.

Moneyline wagers are the simplest form of sports bet so they are ideal for beginners. A moneyline bet is a bet on which team or player will win a game.

The odds are different for each team, so a bet on the favorite will win less money than a bet on the underdog.

Futures are bets on an event that takes place some time away. They are often bets on the outcome of a season, such as a bet on the league winners. Other Futures bets available are bets on which teams might make the Super Bowl, or which players will make the final of the Wimbledon tennis championships.

Spread bets are based on teams or players being given a handicap. The spread is expressed in the form of points above or below the line where the line is the expected final score in a game.

One team is given points over the line and the other team has the same number of points below the line. A spread bet is won when a team covers the spread, that is it wins by the number of points above the line, or if betting on their opponents, when they lose by less than the number of points under the line.

Over-Under bets are predictions that the final score in a game will be either over or under a specified number. There are variations, but the simplest form is based on the final score of the game.

Parlay bets combine three or more simpler bets. Payouts are larger than those for single games because every leg of a parlay has to be forecast correctly otherwise the whole bet is lost.

A simple parlay bet would be to bet on five matches taking place on a single day. A moneyline parlay bet needs the bettor to get the winning team correct in all five before the bet pays out.

Small wagers can produce very big wins, but the odds of winning are much smaller. Parlay bets can be a lot of fun, especially when the first few legs have gone your way and only one or two predictions remain before you know whether you’ve won.

At the moment the BetMGM Sports app doesn’t offer in-game betting. This should be added soon.

Cashing out bets before a match has finished is not an option

The BetMGM NJ Sportsbook app is separate from the BetMGM Casino app.

The app is available for both iOS (iPhones and iPads) as well as Android devices.

The BetMGM Casino app offers benefits that players can use at MGM casinos or online. These include things like discounts for hotel rooms or special bonuses.

BetMGM Online maintains a simple and straightforward loyalty program that gives you iReward Points (iRPs) for playing real money games in the casino or poker room. You may redeem iRPs for rewards such as:

The loyalty program is organized into five tiers ranging from the lowest level, Sapphire to Noir. As you progress through the levels of the VIP program, it gets easier to earn iRPs.

The BetMGM Sports app is very simply laid out without any unnecessary complications. No extraneous buttons to clutter up your screen.

The home page displays trending bet options as floating clouds. These “clouds” are updated regularly as sporting events occur. If bettors don’t want to spend time looking for specific events, then they can click on the current, or trending sporting events, to get started.
