US – BetMGM launches mobile betting app in Maryland

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, launched its mobile app in Maryland giving customers access to a variety of online betting options and benefits tied to MGM Resorts’ premier destinations nationwide, including MGM National Harbor.

“This is a significant milestone that elevates our vision to deliver world-class entertainment to sports fans in the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) region,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. “The convenience of our best in-class mobile app connects directly to the engaging atmosphere we’ve created in our retail sportsbooks at MGM National Harbor and Nationals Park.”

The BetMGM app offers a user-friendly sports betting platform experience, giving Maryland sports fans the ability to customize pre-game, live in-play, futures and parlay wagers. Additionally, integration with Recompensas MGM allows Maryland’s BetMGM users to redeem their gameplay for world-class experiences at MGM Resorts properties nationwide including MGM Grand, Bellagio and ARIA in Las Vegas, Borgata in New Jersey, and Beau Rivage in Mississippi.

The mobile app complements the Apuestas deportivas y salón BetMGM at MGM National Harbor that opened in December 2021.  The BetMGM Sportsbook features a 360-degree jumbotron and 110-foot state-of-the-art wrap-around screen. MGM National Harbor has more than 40 sports betting kiosks located throughout the casino, a second BetMGM Sportsbook on the casino’s second level and a BetMGM betting counter and four kiosks at TAP Sports Bar.

Melonie Johnson, MGM National Harbor’s President & COO, said, “Today’s announcement is monumental as it allows us to expand our sports betting offerings and connect with guests beyond our resort’s walls. The BetMGM Sportsbook & Lounge is an incredible amenity, and the addition of the mobile app further enhances our customer experience.”

BetMGM strengthened its commitment to the DMV in January 2022 when it opened the first retail sportsbook connected to a Major League Baseball stadium at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. That followed the launch of the BetMGM mobile app in Virginia in January 2021.

A medida que BetMGM continúa expandiéndose a nuevos mercados, la educación sobre el juego responsable sigue siendo un enfoque clave. BetMGM se enorgullece de brindar recursos para ayudar a los clientes a jugar de manera responsable, incluido GameSense, un programa líder en la industria, desarrollado y autorizado para MGM Resorts por la British Columbia Lottery Corporation. A través de la integración dentro de las plataformas móviles y de escritorio de BetMGM, los clientes pueden recibir la misma experiencia GameSense con la que cuentan en las propiedades de MGM Resorts en todo el país. Esto complementa las herramientas de juego responsable ya existentes de BetMGM que sirven para brindar a los clientes una experiencia digital entretenida y segura.
