BetMGM Launches Mobile Sports Betting in Puerto Rico
Sports betting leader expands mobile platform outside of US mainland complementing retail sportsbook at Casino del Mar at La Concha Resort
BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced the launch of the BetMGM mobile sports betting app in Puerto Rico in partnership with Casino del Mar at La Concha Resort. Puerto Rico is the second market outside of the United States mainland for BetMGM’s mobile sports betting app.
“BetMGM is ecstatic to become the first operator to deliver mobile sports betting to Puerto Rico,” the Chief Executive Officer for BetMGM, Adam Greenblatt, said. “This great collaboration between local officials and Casino del Mar provides a safe, responsible and entertaining product accessible from anywhere on the island.”
The BetMGM app offers a user-friendly experience, giving Puerto Rico residents the ability to customize pre-game, live in-play, futures and parlay wagers. As part of the BetMGM mobile app registration process, customers in Puerto Rico will need to validate their identification in person at the BetMGM sportsbook located at the Casino Del Mar resort in San Juan. Integration with the MGM Rewards loyalty program allows residents in Puerto Rico to redeem their gameplay for world-class experiences at MGM Resorts properties nationwide including Bellagio, Aria and MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Beau Rivage in Mississippi, Borgata in New Jersey and MGM Grand Detroit.
BetMGM was the first operator to debut regulated retail sports betting in Puerto Rico when it was legalized in February of 2022. In December of 2022, Casino del Mar opened a permanent $3.5 million sportsbook and lounge featuring twelve self-service kiosks and five betting windows. Sports wagering is permitted in Puerto Rico on all sporting events including those that are professional, collegiate, Olympic and international. Wagering is permitted on electronic and eSports events as well.
“Today, Puerto Rico is once again at the forefront of the sports betting industry,” the General Manager of Casino del Mar, Sigfrido De Jesús, said. “In addition to being an attraction for sports fans, this will have a positive impact on the revenues of the Treasury. We are pioneers in the sports wagering industry and we are elevating sports to the next level by developing trustworthy and user-friendly technology tools. Creating this technological alliance with a company of BetMGM’s caliber has allowed both Casino del Mar and the government to learn about innovation in the betting industry.”
As BetMGM continues to expand to new jurisdictions, responsible gambling education remains a key focus. BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to count on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM’s already existing responsible gambling tools, which serve to provide customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.
BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced an extension of its partnership with the Vegas Golden Knights through the 2026-27 season. As part of the agreement, BetMGM will continue as an Official Betting Partner of the Vegas Golden Knights with prominent signage on the Knight Tron and throughout T-Mobile Arena as well as co-branded content and exclusive promotions. The partnership also features multiple fan engagement opportunities including watch parties and Toshiba Plaza activations.
“BetMGM is proud to continue our partnership with the Vegas Golden Knights, giving us the opportunity to create memorable moments alongside one of the world’s most passionate hockey fan bases. Las Vegas is BetMGM’s hometown and an integral part of our DNA, so the Golden Knights are a natural fit for our brand.” – Matt Prevost – BetMGM, Chief Revenue Officer.
Throughout the season, BetMGM will host watch parties featuring team mascots at various MGM Resorts destinations. The operator also will plan activations in Toshiba Plaza during select Golden Knights home games where fans can begin the BetMGM mobile app registration process for the chance to win prizes.
“BetMGM is a long-standing partner with the Golden Knights and a brand synonymous with this great city,” said Vegas Golden Knights President and CEO Kerry Bubolz. “We look forward to continue working together on events and activations that we know entertain our fans.”
Lance Evans, SVP Sports and Sponsorships, MGM Resorts, said, “The Vegas Golden Knights play a core role in the Las Vegas sports and entertainment experience and it’s a privilege to welcome both local and visiting fans to our properties before, during and after games. Together with BetMGM, we look forward to co-hosting events that will allow guests to engage with their favorite teams in new and exciting ways.”
BetMGM users can take advantage of the robust offering of prop markets for Golden Knights games this season, frequent in-app odds boosts and the interactive same game parlay betting feature. New BetMGM customers who download the BetMGM app and verify at one of BetMGM’s nine retail sportsbooks within walking distance of T-Mobile Arena will receive a first bet offer of up to $250 paid back in bonus bets if their first bet loses (offer only available in Nevada; bonus bets are non-withdrawable and expire in seven days.) Through the recently launched single account and wallet app upgrade, BetMGM users who sign up in Nevada and reside in other BetMGM U.S. mobile markets can continue to wager upon returning home.
Evolution, the industry-leading B2B solution provider for casino operators, announced a three-year extension of their US agreement with FanDuel Casino. The renewal strengthens the strategic partnership between the two companies, reaffirming Evolution as FanDuel’s sole provider of core live dealer casino games.
Under the terms of the extension, FanDuel players will continue to have access to Evolution and Ezugi’s full portfolio of industry-leading live casino games, along with top-performing slots from NetEnt, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, and Nolimit City. This marks the second extension of the original partnership, which began in 2020 when Evolution’s live dealer games were integrated into FanDuel’s Casino platform.
Jacob Claesson, Chief Executive Officer of Evolution North America, said: “We are thrilled to extend our successful partnership with FanDuel, providing players with the very best in online casino entertainment. FanDuel’s trust in Evolution highlights our shared commitment to growing the live casino market and creating a truly immersive experience for players across North America.”
“FanDuel Casino is the leading Casino operator in the U.S., offering the largest selection of exclusive live casino tables in the market. Expanding our partnership with Evolution for Live Casino and RNG games enables us to consistently provide a top-tier experience to our customers. We look forward to our continued growth in the Live Casino sector,” said Asaf Noifeld, Managing Director of FanDuel Casino.
