BetMGM Review

MGM Resorts and Casino are a major player on the Las Vegas strip and with the help of the LeoVegas brand, they have built a mobile casino and sports betting platform aimed at the UK market.

BetMGM App UK Review

How To Get The BetMGM App

The BetMGM app is available on the App Store for iOS users. There is a BetMGM Android app, in fact there are several. However, these are aimed at the US market and can only be used in certain states. Therefore, Android users and any other mobile operating system other than iOS are limited to the mobile optimised BetMGM website from within the UK.

Appearance And Navigation

The MGM brand is one that symbolises luxury and they have followed that through their betting app theme. The background colour is light, with a golden overlay and finished off with golden trimming.

In terms of navigation, scrolling up and down is smooth and the menu system has a logical layout. Getting to a specific sport, league, event or market takes no time at all once used to the scrolling horizontal menu bars, as well as the dedicated bottom menu.

BetMGM Sportsbook Review & App Features

In-play

The BetMGM app has a dedicated In-play section, showcasing all the sporting events that are mid-action.

There’s nice tidy tables thanks to the in-play section being categorised by sport and live scores are shown next to each live event.

Tapping on event brings up the live betting markets, as well an animation representing what is actually occurring in the event. For example, a goal kick in football, or a second service in tennis.

Cash Out

The BetMGM app comes fully loaded with the cash out feature. This enables users to make a profit or Mimi impose losses before the event has finished.

Cash out amounts can be offered on bets that are for upcoming events and those that are in-play. If the bet is in-play, the cash out amount will be shown in the Open bets in the My Bets section. If the event is yet to start, the cash out amount offered (if any) will be displayed next in the cash out section of the my bets area.

Some online bookmakers offer a partial cash out feature, whereby users can take a percentage of the cash out and leave a percentage of it still on the bet in question. Unfortunately, the BetMGM app does not offer partial cash outs.

Live Streaming

BetMGM offer their registered customers a high quality live streaming service across a number of sports. For example, football, horse racing, greyhounds, tennis and snooker.

Events that have a live stream available will have a ▶️ symbol showing in the bottom right of the event box. Tap on the event while it is in play and the live stream windows should appear at the top of the event markets page.

Bet Builder

Football betting markets have an integrated bet builder tab, allowing users to combine markets from the same match in to one bet.

For example, a team to win combined with a player to be carded, along with a player to score. All selections within a bet builder bet must win for the bet to pay out.

There’s a generous amount of markets contained within the bet builder offering customers a ridiculous amount of possible combinations to compile.

For those who are a little more indecisive, there are Pre-packs available on a separate tab that displays pre-bundled bet builders to ponder over.

BetMGM Casino Review

The MGM brand is well known in the casino world, so it’s no real surprise that there is a whole section dedicated to a wide range of slots titles.

Standard slots, progressive jackpots and Megaways are all on offer, with the most popular titles recommended at the top of the casino section.

BETMGM Live Casino

For those who like their casino table games, the Live casino section within the BetMGM app is the place to head. Users can dip in and out of various live streams involving live dealers hosting games such as:

Roulette
Blackjack
Baccarat
Poker
Crazy Time
Monopoly Live
Deal Or No Deal
Sweet Bonanza

There’s traditional game styles, as well as funky variations such as Lightning Roulette and Mega Baccarat to explore.

Overall Thoughts And Opinions

The BetMGM app is a serious newcomer in to the UK mobile gambling market. It is aggressive in its pricing, is generous with its offers and comes with all the top features seasoned gamblers have come to expect.

This app won’t be causing us to ditch the betting apps we were using before, but it is certainly one we have added to the collection and one we find ourselves logging in to regularly.

Q & A

How do I change the odds format in the BetMGM app?

Users have the choice to have their odds displayed in either:

Decimals
Fractions
American

To change the odds access the settings, which can be found by scrolling down to the bottom of any of the pages within the sports section.

The option to change the odds format should now be present, as well as in-play betting and cash out options.

How do I set a deposit limit on the BetMGM app?

Upon registering all users are prompted to set a deposit limit on the account. This can also be done from the deposit section of the app.

Users can modify any of the available limits from within the my account section. From there, head to Account Settings. Options of “Limits” and “Additional Limits” will now be visible.
