BetMGM review (US)

4.3Goodeditorial ratingBy OddsUpfront Editorial Team, EditorialFacts checked

A deep sportsbook with rewards tied to MGM resorts and useful bet tools. Prices were the lowest we could measure in the US, the Android app lags, and a Pennsylvania fine raised questions about identity checks.

Best for: MGM Rewards members and bettors who want deep props

What it does well

BetMGM covers a very wide list of sports, down to badminton and cycling, and it offers the less common bet types: teasers, round robins and alternate lines. Edit My Bet and BetDefense add control after you place a bet. If you stay at MGM resorts, the rewards link is a real extra.

Prices

BetMGM had the lowest payout among US sportsbooks we could measure, about 0.6 points below the average. Our US price sample is still small and mostly soccer, with few NFL and NBA games so far, so it says little about the markets most US bettors use.

Payments

The list is broad, including PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Play+ and ACH. A third-party guide reports Play+ within 6 hours, PayPal and Venmo under 24 hours, and debit in 1 to 3 business days, with a possible 3 to 5 day review on your first withdrawal. BetMGM's own pages refused our checks.

Trust

Pennsylvania fined BetMGM $100,000 in March 2026 after weak identity checks allowed fraudsters to open accounts with stolen details. Massachusetts issued several smaller fines over prohibited bets in 2025 and 2026.

Where it is live

Its app also names Mississippi, where betting is only allowed on licensed casino property, so we do not list that as an online state.
