MGM Resorts has been a major player in the Las Vegas sportsbook scene as the company has grown over the past half-century. It began with the original MGM Grand<\/strong> in the mid-’70s<\/span>, which is now Horseshoe, and has since expanded to run nine properties that span the length of the strip. It also operates the BetMGM sports betting app. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellagio<\/a>, Aria<\/a>, MGM Grand<\/a>, Mandalay Bay<\/a>, Mirage<\/a>, Park MGM<\/a>, New York-New York<\/a>, Luxor<\/a>, and Excalibur<\/a> are the nine Vegas casinos with sportsbooks under the MGM Resorts umbrella. Given the popularity of their properties with tourists, the company has no shortage of customers looking to bet on sports with them, and that\u2019s reflected in the sportsbook with above-average limits and a unique betting menu.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BetMGM betting menu<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MGM properties have wagering on professional football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, MMA, UFC, and NASCAR, along with college football, basketball, and baseball. They offer prop bets on selected events<\/strong> and have a live betting menu<\/strong> available on a daily basis. Unfortunately with MGM having an independent app, their live betting lines do not show on the standard odds screen, meaning bettors must monitor the lines within the mobile app.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From time to time, MGM will offer markets no one else in Vegas has – such as odds to make the Final Four in college basketball, or team totals in college football. With such a large operation and overall market share, opening unique markets is something we should see more from them, but they tend to shy away from anything that might attract more sharp action.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BetMGM contests<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Currently, there are no contests being run at MGM Resorts properties or on the BetMGM app.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BetMGM limits<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As is often the case with Strip operators, limits can vary widely from player to player at MGM. You would be hard-pressed to find an operator that will be more accommodating to your average tourist gambler, and as a result, some of the largest wagers in town<\/strong> are placed at MGM Resorts properties. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side, advantage bettors and players who exclusively bet on the mobile app are not given the same leash, and will often be reduced to standard limits on most markets. MGM\u2019s risk tolerance certainly is not as high as it could be given its customer base.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BetMGM mobile app<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MGM Resorts currently uses its own in-house software, BetMGM, for its mobile sportsbook. It has an interface that is clean and easy to navigate<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Nevada, you must visit one of their sportsbook locations to sign up, where you will complete a W9 and will need a valid driver’s license and player’s card from the casino. You must make your initial deposit in person, but other deposits can be made via the BetMGM prepaid card and a Play + account. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BetMGM is not offering any sign-up bonuses for new mobile accounts<\/span> in Nevada. Players in other states where it operates receive a loss rebate offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
