Things get off to an awesome start at this online casino with the 100% deposit match up to $1,000 plus $25 on the house. This bonus can be used to play most of the online casino games, including the BetMGM Exclusives, such as MGM Grand Millions. A lot of the slots have a progressive jackpot, meaning that players can contribute to the ...

Top Critic

One of the big hitters of the casino world, BetMGM has a well-stuffed games lobby which is available via the technology-driven website or the mobile app. The choice of live casino games is excellent but slots lovers will really appreciate the multitude of reel spinners including plenty of jackpots.

First Impression

We all know first impressions can be make or break. So, it’s a good thing BetMGM goes out of its way to give newbies an extra-warm welcome.

The second you land on BetMGM’s site, you’ll be prompted to select your state, and click through to a dedicated sports, casino, poker or racing page. From there, we found you’ll immediately be offered a localized bonus based on your selections. In other words, the whole experience feels tailored to you from day one.

Better yet, the casino here page really cuts-through all the usual noise. There are no excessive ads or confusing widgets to worry about – just a scrollable game grid, a handy game search engine, and dead-simple links to dedicated game genre pages.

Bonus & Promos

4.7/5

A $1,000 first-deposit match – on top of $25 in free bets – is what we found most BetMGM casino customers will be offered on arrival.

With the site being available to slots and table lovers in five different regions, though (MI, NJ, PA and WV in the US, and ON in Canada), marginal T&Cs differences may apply based on your location.

But make no bones about it, the offer’s a cinch to claim – just drop a $10 minimum deposit, and you’re in business.

Just note that wagering requirements and other restrictions vary from one part of the bonus to the next. We found that your up to $1,000 deposit match comes with a 15x wagering requirement, which you’ll get 14 days to satisfy, for example.

Meanwhile, your up to $25 in bonus bets have a much tighter play-through time frame of seven days. On the upside, you’ll only have to wager these bonus bets once.

Some other rewards to expect while playing here, include:

Refer-a-friend bonus – worth up to $100 per referral.
Arcade Power-Ups – where wagering $25+ on any game can unlock up to $5,000 in casino bonuses.
Bet and Get promos – where a $40 spin on Cerberus Gold can potentially get you $10 in bonus bets.

Timeline

2018 – NJ-based BetMGM first launches online in the US.
November 2022 – The brand’s app is unveiled across permitted states.
August 2023 – BetMGM casino online unveils its exclusive Buffalo Wild Wings slot.
July 2024 – The brand’s casino site adds Evolution’s Lightning Storm game to its back-catalog.

We found you guys are highly unlikely to run into any bother at all navigating BetMGM online casino. Not only is the brand’s casino site logically laid-out, but there’s a BetMGM app available on the Apple and Google Play Stores in permitted US states (NJ, PA, MI and WV) that’s equally well put-together, too.

As we mentioned already a little earlier on, games are browsable either by scrolling your way down a seemingly never-ending dash or hitting quick links to land on dedicated pages for Jackpots, Live Dealer or Sports Favorites games. Even movie-inspired “Hollywood Hits” titles like The Godfather Megaways are available here.

Everything looks beautiful, too. The glitzy gold and silver text used by the brand is real easy-on-the-eyes against the site’s jet-black background, and the user-experience is virtually identical whether you’re on the app, or the regular site. Though we prefer the slightly more stripped back and scaled-down app version.

Payments

3.3/5

We found that BetMGM is safe, secure and trustworthy on the payments front as well.
Why? Well, tried-and-tested VeriSign encryption tech is used to safeguard all online transactions processed through the site, for starters. There’s also a whole bunch of different deposit and withdrawal methods available to suit card-lovers and e-wallet users alike – most of which act real fast, too. These include:

Deposit Method	Fee	Process Time	Deposit min/max
PayNearMe	Free	Instant	-
Skrill	Free	1 Day	-
PayPal	Free	Instant	-
Bank Transfer	Free	Instant	-
VIP Preferred	Free	Instant	-
Play+	Free	Instant	max. $10000
Discover	Free	Instant	-
Visa	Free	Instant	-
Mastercard	Free	Instant	-
Apple Pay	Free	Instant	-
American Express	Free	Instant	-
Wire Transfer	Free	Instant	-
Cash	Free	Instant	-
Venmo	Free	Instant	-

As you can see from our table, some options (like Interac and MuchBetter) are offered on withdrawals only. There are also a few minor variations in what payment options are offered from one state to the next, too – so please watch out for this. Oh, and at the time of writing, we didn’t see any support offered for crypto deposits or withdrawals, which is a shame but pretty much the same as we discovered during our FanDuel casino review.

Nevertheless, all players will get a minimum deposit limit of $10 across the board, as well as instant deposits and faster-than-average withdrawals with most payment methods.

As a brand that takes responsible gambling super-seriously, you’ve the option to set your own daily, weekly and monthly limits from your account page, too – and then chop and change these at any time.

Customer support

4.4/5

If ever you need a helping hand from the brand, these guys certainly won’t leave you high and dry. Our BetMGM online casino review ran into several super-useful support options over here, including:

An online Help Center – think FAQs, with a handy topic-by-topic search engine.
Live chat – up-for-grabs 24/7.
Email support – ideal if you’re not in a massive rush.

The former can be found via the “Help & Customer Care” tab, while you’ll need to click-through to the “Contact Us” page to locate the site’s otherwise-not-quite-so-obvious live chat and email buttons. We found it’s also possible to DM BetMGM via their Instagram, too, if that’s more your sort of thing.

As far as we could see, the live chat team is seriously on-the-ball here; they typically replied to us within just a couple of hours of us making contact. We found that email, mind, can take up to a few days during busy periods.

License & security

5.0/5

In every way, shape and form, BetMGM casino is legit. Right here, we’re talking about the online casino arm of MGM Resorts International, remember? An NYSE-listed company that runs hotels and brick-and-mortar casinos anywhere from Vegas to Atlantic City.

Our BetMGM Casino review found that if you want to play at slots or card games online here, you’ll be able to do so legally from MI, NJ, PA and WV, because the site holds recognized licenses with:

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB).
The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NGCE).
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).
The West Virginia Lottery Commission.

Just note that if you’re here for a spot of sports betting instead, the licensing rules (and available states) differ.

Either way, anybody playing here can rest assured that BetMGM is safe, SSL-secure and has an incredible industry rep. As mentioned previously, the site’s responsible gambling tools are seriously good, too.

VIP/Rewards Program

5.0/5

BetMGM’s “Promotions” page is neatly split between sports, casino and poker bonuses. Here’s what we found on the BetMGM Casino front, bonus-wise, at the time of writing.

Players can enjoy:

Promotion	How it works
Bet and Get bonuses	A $40 spin on Cerberus Gold can potentially land you $10 worth of free spins.
Arcade Power-Ups	Wagers of $25+ can qualify for up to $5,000 in casino bonuses daily.
Refer-a-friend promo	Pointing your buddies in BetMGM’s direction can land you – and them – a $100 casino bonus.
BetMGM and MGM Rewards VIP bonuses	All BetMGM members – whether you’re here for casino, sports or poker games – can collect Tier and Bonus Credits while playing. Enrolment is automatic, and there’s potential to redeem your Credits at more than 20 IRL MGM Resorts across the US.

Like we’ve found during our Playstar review, promotions over here, naturally, are rotated a lot. They might sometimes differ depending on the state you’re playing from, too – so be sure to double-check what’s hot and what’s not where you live.

Specialties

As a brand with buckets of industry pedigree, BetMGM sure knows a thing or two about how to deliver high-quality online casino experiences. Some of our favorites specialities over here, include:

Top-end live dealer games

Unlike some of its closest competitors, our BetMGM casino review found that this brand goes real hard on the live dealer front. Put simply, it offers way, way more variations of video-based blackjack, baccarat and poker than your average online casino. There are even a few craps, sic bo and live game shows to choose from, too. Some hail from the all-important Evolution Gaming, while others – like BetMGM Bacarrat and BetMGM Roulette – appear to have been lovingly hand-crafted in-house.

Mega Jackpots on fast-paced “Virtual Vegas” games

The “Virtual Vegas” page also caught our eye, with its excellent selection of high-volatility jackpots and megaways games like 88 Fortunes and Cash Eruption. The “Mega Jackpots” advertised over here frequently exceed six figures. And many of the games on the page can be enjoyed with your up to $1,000 deposit match bonus from day one.

Slots, tables and a whole lot more – our BetMGM casino review’s findings

Play various casino games at BetMGM

Discover casino games with live dealers at BetMGM

We know it’s a bit of cliché to say that an online casino has it all, but we think this one really does.

BetMGM offers slots, jackpots, live dealer games – and then some. Here’s what impressed us most.

State-of-the-art slots

Most of the 3,000+ games up-for-grabs here are slots – and they tend to be powered by some of the biggest software games in the industry. NetEnt, Microgaming, IGT and Light & Wonder are all well-represented, and you’ll find anything from classic fruit machines like Triple Stones to weirder, more wonderful exclusives like MGM Grand Millions.

The software pedigree here means that loading times – and graphics – are ace across the board. Excitingly, we also found that the “Studio Spotlight” page regularly auto-updates whenever new, big-brand titles are added. The highest-RTP slot up for grabs is the ever-exciting Blood Suckers from NetEnt, which boasts 98% Return-to-Player potential.

Jackpots with a seasonal twist

Throughout the calendar year, our BetMGM casino reviews have seen “Must Go Jackpots” of up to $100,000 advertised on seasonal slots and megaways like Trick of the Dead Wild Candies and Jingle Bells Bonanza.

Of course, jackpots can be enjoyed here whatever the time of year, especially on that “Virtual Vegas” page we mentioned earlier. Many such games qualify for Arcade Power-Ups and Bet and Get bonuses, too.

Super-cool “Sports Favorites”

Having cut its teeth in sports betting, it didn’t surprise our BetMGM casino review to see that more than 20 sports-themed games are on offer here as well – many of which we haven’t seen anywhere else before.

From NBA-themed blackjack and Detroit Lions Slingo to an NBA Gold reels game, there’s a lot of crossover action to choose from here, with the games advertised covering all sorts of cool genres.

Our vertical verdict

Whether it’s classic NetEnt and IGT slots you’re after, big-prize jackpots with a seasonal twist or niche sports-themed games, BetMGM has the whole lot – and don’t forget their live dealer titles are sensational fun, too.

Best of all, once your $1,000 matched deposit and $25 free casino bonus bets have been used-up, there are plenty of Power-Ups and other promotions to sink your teeth into.

Experience

Any legit online casino worth its salt should offer an epic user-experience, and to be honest we think BetMGM really nails it on this front – regardless of whether you’re an app or web-based player.

BetMGM is legit one of the most fun and easiest-to-use casino sites our team’s laid eyes on. We loved the brand’s faff-free game search engine and one-click buttons to dedicated genre pages, which we reckon will save busy gamers who know exactly what they’re looking for a lot of time.

The fact that jackpot and top prize amounts are always highlighted in game thumbnails is handy for high-rollers, too, while we were equally impressed that beginners can access a whole bunch of “how-to” guides and blogs via the “Help & Customer Care” tab.

Conclusion

Easy-to-use, chock full of bonuses and especially good fun for lovers of live dealer games, we think BetMGM Casino is a beautifully put-together package – and we’re sure you will too.

It isn’t often you see a casino site with this good a background and pedigree offering 24/7 customer support, fast withdrawal processing and availability in four US states, either – so be sure to take advantage.

And don’t forget that right now, new players in qualifying states can claim up to $1,000 in matched deposit bonus bets on sign-up, on top of a free $25 casino bet bonus.

Yes – you can download it on either iOS or Android, and the functionality is just as great as the brand’s regular website.

🎰 Which games are most popular at BetMGM Casino?

Cash Eruption, Triple Treasure and Bankin’ More Bacon are ranking highly right now, but we’re much bigger fans of the site’s epic live dealer and sports-themed games – which are a bit more unique to the platform.

Hollywood Hits are Vegas-style slots games with a movie or TV-theme. Breaking Bad Collect ‘Em & Link and Ted Cash Lock are two such examples – the latter of which runs some seriously impressive jackpots.
