JERSEY
CITY, N.J., March 7,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM, a leading sports betting
and iGaming operator, launched its mobile app in Illinois over the weekend. Customers in
Illinois now can access BetMGM's
state-of-the-art online sports wagering platform, providing a wide
variety of betting options as well as access to earn experiences at
MGM Resorts' premier destinations across the country.
"This launch marks a significant milestone for BetMGM as we
enter one of the country's biggest sports betting markets," said
BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. "We look
forward to working with the state of Illinois to bring its passionate sports fans a
new, innovative and unique sports betting experience."
The BetMGM app features a user-friendly sports betting platform,
making it easy to customize pre-game, live in-play, futures and
parlay wagers. Customers can engage in BetMGM's exclusive
free-to-play contests surrounding marquee sporting events as well
as the popular One Game Parlay product where players can combine
their wagers on a single game to earn even larger payouts.
BetMGM recently launched BetMGM Rewards, a world-class loyalty
program offering customers the opportunity to earn points with
every wager placed. The points can be redeemed for accomodations
and experiences at MGM Resorts properties nationwide including
Bellagio and MGM Grand in Las
Vegas, Borgata in Atlantic
City, MGM Grand Detroit, MGM Northfield Park in Ohio, MGM National Harbor in Maryland, and Beau Rivage in Mississippi.
As BetMGM continues to expand its sports betting platforms to
new states, responsible gaming education remains a key focus.
BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play
responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program,
developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia
Lottery Corporation. Through the integration within BetMGM's mobile
and desktop platforms, customers will receive the same GameSense
experience they have grown to count on at MGM Resorts properties
nationwide. This complements BetMGM's already existing responsible
gaming tools which serve to provide customers with an entertaining
and safe digital experience.
The BetMGM app is available for download in Illinois on both iOS and Android, and is
accessible via desktop at www.betmgm.com. For more information,
