Our Verdict
BetMGM is best for bettors who value MGM Rewards, regular promotions, and a deep range of betting features. Parlays and live betting are particular strengths, while pricing is generally competitive across major markets. The main drawbacks are occasional app performance issues and enough variation in the odds to make line shopping worthwhile.
I tested BetMGM in my home state of New York initially, using my bank account to complete an online banking transaction to fund my account. I placed my initial wager using the site's first bet offer for up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet does not win. That promotion is no longer available in the state of New York, but it did work for me when I first used BetMGM, as I did lose my first wager and needed the second chance it provided.
Since then, I have used BetMGM regularly in my state. In New York, BetMGM is a little more stingy with its promotions than it is in other states, thanks in large part to the tax rates for sportsbook operators in the Empire State. But I have been using this app routinely for years, making successful deposits and withdrawals, with a high volume of wagers in between those transactions.
BetMGM currently offers new customers up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets if their qualifying first wager loses. Use promo code ATSBONUS1500 when signing up and deposit at least $10 to claim the offer.
The welcome bonus varies by state. Players in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia currently get a different offer: Bet $10 and Get $150 in Bonus Bets if the qualifying wager wins. BetMGM currently has no welcome offer in Massachusetts.
BetMGM Promo Information | Details |
|---|---|
Welcome Offer | Up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets |
Promo Code | ATSBONUS1500 |
Minimum Deposit | $10 |
Minimum Odds | -10,000 |
Bonus Bet Expiry | 7 days |
New Customers Only | Yes |
The $1,500 offer works as a first-bet fallback rather than an upfront bonus. If your qualifying first wager loses, BetMGM returns the stake as Bonus Bets up to the $1,500 maximum. If the wager wins, you keep the normal winnings and receive no Bonus Bets from the First Bet Offer.
For the full state-by-state breakdown, qualifying-wager rules, and instructions for claiming the offer, see our BetMGM Promo Code guide.
⭐ Bonuses Rating: 4.0/5
ATS Expert Verdict
“The $1,500 maximum is attractive, especially for bettors planning a larger first wager, but the value depends heavily on which state offer you get. The 7-day expiry on Bonus Bets is the biggest drawback.”

BetMGM covers all major U.S. leagues alongside soccer, tennis, golf, combat sports, motorsports, and smaller competitions. Market depth is particularly good for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college sports, and soccer.

BetMGM's pricing is generally competitive, although the best sportsbook changes from market to market. We compared the same NFL bets across BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel to see how the prices differed.
Market Tested | BetMGM | DraftKings | FanDuel | Best Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
49ers ML vs. Rams | +165 | +164 | +166 | FanDuel |
49ers–Rams Under 48.5 | -110 | -115 | -115 | BetMGM |
Rams to Win Super Bowl LXI | +500 | +500 | +550 | FanDuel |
Odds checked October 2026. Sportsbook prices change frequently and may vary by location.
Pricing verdict: BetMGM was competitive in all three markets and had the best price on one. The differences also show why line shopping remains worthwhile.
BetMGM covers the full menu you'd expect: spreads, moneylines, totals, player props, futures, live betting and parlays across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college sports, soccer, tennis, golf and UFC.
A checklist of bet types doesn't separate it from DraftKings or FanDuel, though. A handful of tools do, and they're why we'd open BetMGM on a Sunday instead of just checking its prices.
Edit My Bet is the feature that sets BetMGM apart from the other big books. It lets you change a bet after you’ve placed it: add a selection, swap one out, remove a leg that’s going sideways or raise your stake.
The rule to remember: if Cash Out is live on a bet, Edit My Bet usually is too. Saving your changes places a new bet at the odds available at that moment, so the edited parlay won’t keep the price you locked in before kickoff. Change your mind before saving and the original ticket stays as it was.
It’s most useful when something changes mid-game. An injured player on a prop leg doesn’t have to sink the whole parlay, as the example below shows.
Every major game has a Build Parlay option that opens BetMGM’s same game parlay builder. The bet slip lists the price of each leg as you add it, so it’s easy to see which selection is carrying the payout.
SGP+ takes it a step further. It stacks several same game parlays into one ticket, even across different sports, so an Eagles SGP, a Mets SGP and a Lakers SGP can ride together. The payout climbs fast and so does the risk, because every leg on every SGP has to hit. Check the final price on the slip before you submit. Prices can move while you’re building, and BetMGM won’t accept the bet automatically if the odds change.
BetMGM’s live menu goes beyond the full-game lines, with quarter, half and inning markets alongside props like the next touchdown scorer.
You can also stream select events free in the app once your account has a funded balance, but don’t expect NFL Sundays there.
The catalog leans toward international soccer, tennis and other overseas events, and what’s available changes by state.
Cash Out is available on eligible pre-game and live bets, and it doubles as the gatekeeper for Edit My Bet. When Cash Out is suspended on a ticket, editing usually is too.
Lion’s Boosts, parlay boost tokens and No Sweat tokens are covered in the promotions section above.
BetMGM’s market depth is on par with the other big books, but Edit My Bet and SGP+ give parlay bettors a reason to keep it on their phone even when its price isn’t the best on a given game. Bettors who react to in-game news will get the most out of it.
⭐ Odds & Features Rating: 4.4/5
BetMGM has one of the more useful loyalty programs among U.S. sportsbooks, especially for bettors who also visit MGM Resorts. Qualifying wagers earn BetMGM Rewards Points and Tier Credits, which serve different purposes.
BetMGM Rewards Points | Tier Credits | |
|---|---|---|
Purpose | Spendable rewards | MGM Rewards status |
Redeemable? | ✓ Yes | ✕ No |
Earned Through | Qualifying BetMGM wagers | BetMGM wagers and MGM Resort activity |
Used For | Digital bonuses, odds boosts, MGM Rewards Points, Marriott Bonvoy Points and more | Progress toward higher MGM Rewards tiers |
Earning rates vary, but BetMGM gives these examples:
Higher MGM Rewards tiers can also earn a 10%–40% bonus on Rewards Points.
→ Our Take:
MGM Rewards is a genuine advantage for bettors who also stay, dine, or spend money at MGM properties. Earning sportsbook rewards and resort status from the same betting activity gives BetMGM something most competing sportsbooks can't match.
The BetMGM Sportsbook app is available for iOS and Android, with access to pregame and live betting, parlays, cash out, bet tracking, promotions, and MGM Rewards.
App Feature | What You Get |
|---|---|
Live Betting | In-game markets with continuously updated odds |
Cash Out | Cash out on eligible active wagers |
Bet Tracking | Quick access to open and settled bets |
Bet Building | Live Same Game Parlays, updated lines, and re-bet functionality |
Betting Insights | Matchup data, injuries, line movement, and implied probabilities |
Rewards Hub | Rewards points, tier status, promotions, and benefits |
User feedback is more positive on iPhone than Android. Complaints we've found commonly mention slow loading, occasional freezing, and login or responsiveness issues, while the app's features and overall iOS rating are clear positives.
Our Take:
BetMGM has a well-rounded app with particularly good live betting, bet management, and rewards features. Performance consistency is its main weakness, especially on Android.
⭐ UX Rating: 4.0/5
BetMGM's cashier is one of the deepest in the US market. You can fund an account with PayPal, Venmo, Visa or Mastercard, Apple Pay, online banking, VIP Preferred, a bank wire or cash at 7-Eleven through PayNearMe, and the $10 minimum deposit applies across the board.
Cashing out takes more patience. Every withdrawal goes through an internal review that BetMGM says can take up to 3 to 5 days, and the payment provider's clock only starts once that's done.
BetMGM also runs a closed-loop system: you'll usually be paid back to the methods you deposited with before other options open up, and VIP Preferred and online banking only work for withdrawals if you've deposited with them first. BetMGM doesn't charge a withdrawal fee, though your bank or wallet might.

Yes. BetMGM is a licensed and regulated U.S. sportsbook backed by MGM Resorts International and Entain. It operates legally in multiple U.S. jurisdictions and uses identity and geolocation checks for real-money betting.
The current BetMGM promo code is ATSBONUS1500. Eligible new customers can use it to claim up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets if their qualifying first bet loses. The offer and terms can vary by state.
The minimum deposit is generally $10, although limits can vary by payment method, state, and account.
Withdrawal time depends on the payment method and BetMGM's approval process. PayPal, Venmo, and Play+ can process withdrawals within 24 hours after approval, while bank-based methods can take several business days.
Edit My Bet lets you add, swap, or remove selections or increase your stake on any unsettled straight bet or parlay where the Cash Out option is currently active.
When you tap "Edit Bet" inside your My Bets tab, BetMGM settles your original ticket at its current Cash Out value and immediately uses that exact amount as the stake for your newly modified wager at current live market odds.
Once you link your BetMGM and MGM Rewards accounts to Marriott Bonvoy, you can convert BetMGM Rewards Points into Marriott Bonvoy points at a 10:8 ratio (1,000 BetMGM Rewards Points = 800 Marriott Bonvoy points). You must transfer a minimum of 1,000 points per transaction, up to an annual maximum of 30,000 points per calendar year.
