JERSEY CITY,
N.J., Jan. 27,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM launched its
market-leading sports betting app in Virginia today, giving customers access to a
wide variety of betting options, as well as benefits tied to MGM
National Harbor in Maryland and
MGM Resorts' iconic casino-resorts throughout the United States.
"We're ecstatic that BetMGM is one of the first mobile sports
betting platforms to launch in Virginia," said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. "Virginians are passionate
sports fans, and we're thrilled to provide them a user-friendly
sports betting experience. BetMGM Virginia customers can earn
benefits and will soon enjoy innovative experiences planned with
MGM National Harbor in Maryland
and the Washington Nationals."
The BetMGM app gives Virginia
sports fans the opportunity to customize pre-game, live in-play,
futures and parlay wagers. The app's integration with MGM Resorts'
M life Rewards program allows BetMGM customers to redeem their
gameplay for world-class accommodations at MGM Resorts properties
nationwide, including MGM National Harbor, MGM Grand, Bellagio and
ARIA in Las Vegas, Borgata in
New Jersey and Beau Rivage in
Mississippi – among many more.
Jorge Perez, President & COO
of MGM National Harbor, said, "MGM National Harbor is the premier
entertainment destination for the DC-Maryland-Virginia region, and the launch of the BetMGM
app in Virginia gives our
customers another great way to interact with our brand. We've got
the DMV covered with a variety of entertainment options – whether
at Nationals Park in D.C., our MGM National Harbor resort, or via
the mobile app in Virginia.
Additionally, should Maryland
allow casinos to operate sports betting, MGM National Harbor stands
ready to add this amenity."
Today's announcement follows BetMGM's recently announced
partnership with the Washington Nationals, which includes plans for
opening a retail BetMGM sportsbook connected to Nationals Park.
Scheduled to launch later this season, it will be BetMGM's first
in-stadium sportsbook.
