MGM is a well-known name in the gambling name, and it has grown quite large since the first venue on the Las Vegas Strip. It is now referred to as MGM Resorts International and it owns quite a few destination resorts across the United States.
In the meantime, it has also learned to move with the times, and it now covers the New Jersey area with their Borgata venue, and an online casino called BetMGM. It operates under a license issued by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and comes in the form of quite a comprehensive online betting venue, as it offers casino, poker and sports betting platforms to choose from.
The registration process is a simple one, and it will not take long, but there are still certain procedures you can’t really work around. Namely, we are talking about KYC or Know Your Customer process. During this process you confirm that you are 21 years of age and you provide the venue with a valid email address. Also you need to provide your home address and social security number, since the casino only caters to the residents of New Jersey. Keep in mind that the casino reserves the right to close your account at their sole discretion, so perhaps it’s best to check their terms and conditions before playing here.
The design and layout may not be something to write home about, but the site is simple, functional and easy to get your way around it. All the options and features are easy to use and understand, so without further ado, let’s pop the hood open and see what these guys really have to offer, shall we?
Promotional Offers
Some of us are only in it for the thrill of the game, but there are still those who are simply bonus hunters, and who can blame them? The selection of bonuses at various casinos reaches new levels with each new day as it’s all out war out there, with venues competing who will lure in more new customers.
BetMGM surely has quite a lot to offer, starting off with a neat and sweet welcome bonus, which is quite a hefty match deposit bonus, where you even get some free cash to play with! Once you get a taste of things, you can proceed to other offers, which are strategically positioned over different days of the week…
On Mondays, you can score some cash with Freeplay Match bonus, which is yet another deposit match offer. Double Up Tuesdays are pretty much self-explanatory, while on Wednesdays you can enjoy some cash backs on roulette games.
Fridays will give you the opportunity to score some extra spins, while at the end of each week you may join the other lucky ones at the Weekend Leaderboard if the Lady Luck is at your side. There are featured game leaderboards as well, along with daily click cards which may provide you with a prize on a regular daily basis.
The best thing about this rich palette is that there is also a very interesting loyalty scheme available, and it’s referred to as iRewards. By placing bets you earn iRewards Points and M life Rewards, and these can be redeemed for Express Comps at any MGM Resorts venue in the US, more bonus cash, or various electronics, accessories and other items found at the online store.
There are five different tiers – Sapphire, Pearl, Gold, Platinum, and NOIR. Keep in mind that NOIR is invite only.

Supported Devices and Platforms
If you have a brand that operates online, it is of utmost importance to be accessible across all different platforms and devices. Just consider the fact that there are billions of smartphone users in the world, and all of them prefer using the exact same devices for all their online needs…
Originally, mobile phones were only meant for text messaging and making calls, but nowadays they are little personal assistants which we can’t really imagine our lives without.
Luckily enough, the good folks at MGM are very aware of all this, so their website is accessible from all different sorts of devices, covering all platforms. The mobile version of the site is even easier to use than its desktop counterpart, and all the available features and options are only a couple of clicks away.
The only minor issue we’ve had with the mobile BetMGM is that it isn’t is dark as the desktop version, so it won’t come in that handy during those long night gaming sessions as it’s not that easy on the eyes.
Since you are only allowed to play while being physically present in New Jersey, they will offer you a choice of using an official app for your Android or iOS device, along with the option of playing in your mobile browser, but either way they will utilize geolocation. This is the technique used for determining the precise location of a player via IP address and Wi-Fi signal triangulation.
Last but not least, we need to point out that there is no way of redeeming any iRewards points by using a tablet or smartphone. You can only do that when you log in to your account by using a desktop or laptop computer.
Banking Methods
We all love a casino that comes loaded with multiple banking options, but we can’t be too harsh on these guys, considering the fact that they only operate in New Jersey which comes with its own set of limitations.
Of course, just as is the case with most online betting venues around the world, these guys will accept Visa and Mastercard debit or credit cards, but another great thing about BetMGM is that you can place deposits by paying with cash, simply pay a visit to Borgata in Atlantic City.
Another great thing here is that you can use e-check for placing deposits.
If these don’t really cut it, and you want to use an e-wallet, you will be glad that Skrill, Play and PayPal are accepted here. Last but not least, you can also use promocodes. Just keep in mind that not all of these banking options can be used when withdrawals are in question.
It goes without saying that US dollars are the only accepted currency, and the cashout limit is $10,000.
We didn’t appreciate the fact that they don’t accept any cryptocurrencies, but that could change in the forthcoming future.

Customer Support
We strongly believe that proper customer support is what makes or breaks a good online casino. It should all start with a nicely laid out and comprehensive FAQ page, as it saves a lot of time and nerves for both the customers and customer support staff. Finding the answers on your own will always be a much faster way of resolving an issue. Luckily enough, these guys are well aware of this so there is an FAQ page with many subjects that should get you covered. The subjects include Promotions and bonuses, Geolocation, Withdrawal, Account Details and verification, Account Access, Sports Rules, Deposit, Poker, Casino, Unable to play, and Responsible Gaming. Each one of these comes with further options.
If these don’t cut it for you, why don’t you try sending them an email? Make sure you address it to [email protected], but keep in mind that it takes some time for a reply…
Those who aren’t patient enough to wait for an email response can pick up the phone and dial 609-248-9531 in order to speak to a real live customer support representative.
It came as a surprise that there is no live chat platform as it can save a lot of time and come in quite handy in resolving most issues a customer might have.
Licencing
This is a venue that holds a license issued by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. As an internet gaming operator it is also regulated by the Casino Control Act N.J.S.A. 5:12-1 and all of the implementing regulations that go along with it.
It is also worth mentioning that all of the games that can be played here are also tested by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and are guaranteed fair and correct.
