BetMGM is a 50/50 joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Entain plc, run through the entity Roar Digital LLC – bringing MGM’s Las Vegas brand identity to a regulated online product.
Licensing in the US
BetMGM sports betting is licensed in roughly 20 states, each under its own state gaming commission. Online casino is a separate, narrower license: BetMGM Casino operates in exactly four states – Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. In a handful of markets (including parts of Mississippi and New Mexico), access is retail-only, tied to a physical partner casino. Minimum age is 21; ID verification during signup requires standard identity checks.
Sports Betting
The sportsbook covers all major US leagues plus international soccer, tennis, and combat sports. Same Game Parlay and a “Single Account” feature – one login and balance that follows you across every state where BetMGM is licensed – are among the standout tools. Full breakdown of odds and markets is in the sports betting review.

Casino
BetMGM Casino has the smallest state footprint of the major operators, but the largest market share where it operates – it’s the #1 iCasino brand by revenue in Michigan. The catalog leans on Vegas branding, with slots tied to physical MGM properties and a live dealer section anchored by Evolution. Full breakdown is in the casino review.

Payments and Responsible Gaming
Deposits and withdrawals cover cards, e-wallets, online banking, and cash options like PayNearMe at retail locations. Withdrawals typically go through an internal review before funds are sent back to the original deposit method.
MGM Rewards is a genuine crossover feature here: betting activity earns points redeemable at MGM properties like Bellagio and MGM Grand, not just in-app rewards. Deposit and wager limits, time-outs, and state-sponsored self-exclusion are available. On the national helpline: the historic “1-800-GAMBLER” number changed hands in 2025 and is now NJ-specific; the current national number from the National Council on Problem Gambling is 1-800-MY-RESET.
Conclusion
BetMGM’s real edge is the Vegas connection – genuine MGM Rewards crossover and the #1 iCasino market position, even with a narrower state footprint than some competitors. It’s a strong pick specifically for bettors already inside the MGM ecosystem.
