Sports betting fans across Washington, D.C. now have a new sports betting platform in their midst, as BetMGM has just announced the launch of its latest sports betting site for all District residents, joining other neighboring states like Virginia and Maryland.

BetMGM, a premier name in sports betting and iGaming, has broadened its mobile sports betting reach to encompass the entire Washington, D.C. area. This marks a significant expansion from its previous limitation to a two-block radius around Nationals Park, where it operates a sportsbook. Now, sports enthusiasts across the district can enjoy BetMGM sports betting as well as benefit from rewards linked to Marriott Bonvoy and MGM Resorts destinations.

This development follows in the heels of the D.C. Council's recent approval of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget, which included a stipulation to open the virtual sports betting sector. Despite this broader accessibility, BetMGM retains its exclusivity within the two-block area around Nationals Park due to its ongoing multi-year collaboration with the Washington Nationals.

BetMGM proud of offering broader and better experiences to sports fans and casino gamers

Adam Greenblatt, the Chief Executive Officer of BetMGM, is happy with this new offering: "After three years of providing unparalleled, omnichannel experiences to sports fans and supporting the D.C. metropolitan community through our partnership with the Washington Nationals, (we are glad to report that) fans can now bet on their favorite teams with BetMGM across the District with our award-winning mobile app."

With the launch of mobile sports betting operations in Washington, D.C., along with its neighbors Virginia and Maryland, BetMGM is all set to make a major economic impact in the area as its platform creates local jobs and significantly contributes to tax revenue. As a matter of fact, the company has been actively investing in community-centric programs, including the Capitol Riverfront Friday Night Concert Series, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, and the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, among others.

The outstanding features

One of the standout features of BetMGM's service is its integration with Marriott Bonvoy and MGM Rewards. This integration allows users to redeem their gameplay for experiences at various Marriott Bonvoy and MGM Resorts properties all over the country, including Borgata in New Jersey and the MGM Grand and Bellagio in Las Vegas.

To attract new customers, BetMGM offers a first bet promotion of up to $1,500 which is paid back in bonuses (it is worth noting that this offer is not available in NV, ON, and PR. Bonus bets are also non-withdrawable and are set to expire in a week). Current users can find additional offers in the promotions tab of the app.

Currently, BetMGM operates in 29 markets, offering both retail and mobile betting services. The BetMGM app is available for download throughout the D.C. Metropolitan area on both iOS and Android platforms, and it can also be accessed via desktop at www.betmgm.com.

BetMGM's responsible expansion across multiple markets

As BetMGM continues to grow and conquer new markets, it places a strong emphasis on responsible gambling and the knowledge that comes with it. The company offers resources to help customers gamble responsibly, including the GameSense program, which was developed by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and exclusively licensed to MGM Resorts. This program is actually integrated into BetMGM's desktop and mobile platforms, providing customers with the same responsible gambling tools they are accustomed to at various MGM Resorts properties.
