Online Platform Complements MGM National
Harbor's Retail Sportsbook
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.,
Nov. 23,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM, a
leading sports betting and iGaming operator, launched
its mobile app in Maryland today 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 MGM Rewards 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 BetMGM Sportsbook
& Lounge 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.
As BetMGM continues to expand to new markets, responsible
gambling 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
can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to count
on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM's
already existing responsible gambling tools which serve to provide
customers with an entertaining and safe digital
experience.
The BetMGM app is available for download in Maryland on iOS, with Android soon to follow,
as well as on desktop at www.betmgm.com. For more information,
