BetMGM Indiana Overview

We are pretty sure that you have heard of MGM before. They are one of the most well-known and respected gaming and gambling brands in the world. They pretty much own the majority of the Las Vegas strip and have Casinos, hotels, and resorts all around the globe. MGM has partnered up with online heavyweights GVC to bring to market the BetMGM mobile Sportsbook app initially to New Jersey bettors, and now also to West Virginia, Tennessee, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and of course, Indiana. The app and site used to be called PlayMGM but swapped to BetMGM in 2019.

Now with the app, you can wager anywhere in a legal state, all from your smartphone! Before you can bet with the Sportsbook, you will need to create an account, and to get one only takes a few minutes. Just go to betmgm.com and click the Register button.

Creating a BetMGM Sports account

When you join the BetMGM online sportsbook, you will have to give some registration details such as your full name, mobile number, living address, date of birth, email, and you will also need to add your last four digits from your Social Security number. Don’t worry, the Indiana Gambling Commission (IGC) fully licenses BetMGM to operate in the state.

You can rest easy when you give your SSN that your information is 100% safe & secure. All that’s left to do is choose a username, password, make a real money deposit, and you are ready to go! It’s very easy to sign up online, or on mobile with the operator.

One of the great things about using Bet MGM is that you only need one account. With it, you can bet at the Sportsbook and also use the BetMGM Casino slots (when in NJ, MI, WV, or PA that is). You can also access the online Poker room using just one login.

BetMGM Sportsbook features

Since its initial launch back in 2018 (formerly known as PlayMGM), a whole host of improvements have gone into making the BetMGM sportsbook app a whole lot better. Every update brings improvements to the interface and functionality and hopefully puts an end to any problems with the BetMGM app not working. This includes an improved, better design with far better usability. When it was first launched, it was pretty bad. It has improved a lot over the last 8 months. The app is identical in design on both Android and iPhone, regardless of the state you use it in (apart from the missing Casino in Indiana).

So no matter which platform you want to wager from, you get the same top draw experience. A powerhouse like MGM wasn’t going to let DraftKings & BetRivers steal all the limelight after all. The rebranding has also seen a whole host of exciting new features, including Edit My Bet, improved in-game visuals, and an amazing Track your bet feature. We would say it has been a great call all round to make the improvements.

The BetMGM Indiana online sportsbook is set up very much the same as the desktop version with pretty much all the same offerings. The official website is also available in Indiana, as well as being accessible in all states, and you can only wager in one where MGM holds a license. The mobile app lets you bet on all the same sports and events, just not tied down to your laptop or PC. The new design is so much better than the first version. The design features a white background, and the text is in black making it easy to read, and then there are gold colors. We think it looks the part and works really well. As far as a Sportsbook goes, you can get a lot of information available from the sportsbook mobile app.

It is still straightforward to navigate even on smaller device screens as well as larger devices. Registering, signing in, and managing your account is all quickly done. The mobile app does away with the need ever to use your laptop as you can manage your whole account on your cell. Adding to your MGM parlay card on the app is very easy, just add your picks the same as you would when in the MGM sportsbook.

There is a range of betting tools and features to help you maximize your wagering with BetMGM Sportsbook, including Cash-out and Live in-Game or In-Play betting. Cash out for the majority of testing we did was reliable, and we didn’t face any problems with ending a bet early when we didn’t think it would land. The In-Game betting is OK but is an area that needs more sports adding to it, something we hope the operator does soon. Soccer betting options are done quite well and there are always several game props to choose from.

A great new feature called Track Your Bet. This feature gives you Live scoreboards and visuals where you can track your bet in real-time across many of your favorite sports. You will also find a feature called Edit My Bet. This option gives you more control over your wagers by allowing you to change any straight, or parlay bet that has Cash-Out available if you don’t like how your bet is panning out, then hit the edit my bet feature to change it.

When you open the app or mobile site, you will see there are two main menus. Navigating your way around the BetMGM sportsbook app is easy. The top left menu will give you access to the Sportsbook Home, Help, Responsible Gambling info, T&C’s, House Rules & Contact info. The secondary menu holds Live (for live in-play betting), Boosted Bets, MLB, Football, NHL, Basketball, Soccer, and a handful of other popular sports. You can find a full A-Z at the bottom of the page as well as an area dedicated to your bets, aptly called My bets. Lastly, there is the Betslip where you can add all your picks and sections, then set your wager. Overall, the design of the mobile app is simple but effective.

BetMGM Sports mobile betting

The BetMGM online sportsbook app (sometimes called the MGM sportsbook app) gives players a huge variety of sports to bet on. These sports are all available using the BetMGM android app, as well as the iPhone version and full website. The full list of sports available includes:

  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Soccer
  • Baseball
  • Basketball
  • Tennis
  • Formula 1
  • Boxing
  • Cricket
  • Combat Sports

You can find and bet on all the most popular sports and competitions. We are very impressed with the range of options and sports on there, and you will never be short of something to wager on. The NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and Soccer are well represented. NFL betting on the app is always well represented with MGM covering all the games and markets you could ever need. Soccer, in particular, covers an excellent range of markets and leagues, with great coverage on the MLS but coverage over the pond for The Premier League, Champions League, and international tournaments all available for you to bet on. We have always been impressed with the NBA odds and picks found with BetMGM and they are the sportsbook of choice for betting on basketball.

BetMGM online Sportsbook also supports a good range of bet types and you can do all of these on the Sportsbook:

  • Round Robins
  • Spreads
  • Points Spread
  • Futures
  • Moneyline
  • Parlays

Like any regulated Sportsbook in the US, you must have location enabled on your mobile to use the BetMGM sportsbook app. Enabling this is essential to prove you are in a state where sports betting is legal. You can sign up and register for the book anywhere across the country, you can even fund your account, but you can only legally wager if you are in one of the allowed states. If you try and use the BetMGM sportsbook app outside of state borders, your wager will not go through. The Geolocating software can pinpoint your location to the dot and then prove you are in a legal state line. If you have any issues with geolocation, then see our GeoComply troubleshooting.

You can download the BetMGM app from anywhere across the states. You can even join and register, but you do need to be physically located in the state to wager.

BETMGM Indiana app

Market choice across sports with MGM sports is exceptional. You can find live betting available on the app, a feature that allows you to bet on events as they happen. Research suggests that they offer more proposition bets than other online New Jersey sportsbooks do with live betting. Making the BetMGM sports app a very attractive sports betting option.

Soccer betting fans won’t feel disappointed with the offering on live betting with BetMGM sports. There is a good range of betting options, such as wagers for Asian Handicaps and 3-way bets. You can also use a Boosted Bets feature where you can get increased odds on various events for an even higher pay-out should that wager land. This option is not available on all sports but is available across Football, Basketball, and Soccer currently.

On the BetMGM Sports home, you will see many of the day’s big events displayed. As an example, on several football games, you will see the spread and totals as well as the Moneyline pricing.

This latest version of the sportsbook app from BetMGM gives you complete control over your account. You can add funds, withdraw, and update your details all from within your account. Check scores, see team lineups and sections, see game times, and more. It’s a tremendous all-round sportsbook app and one worth considering if you are in IN, NJ, PA, CO, or WV placing your BetMGM wagers.

BetMGM Indiana Sportsbook bonus information

Like nearly all Sportsbooks, BetMGM offers a new player bonus. Through the Bet MGM online sportsbook app, or website at betmgm.com where you can take advantage of some great bonuses and promotions. A brilliant sign up bonus is available to all new users at BetMGM Indiana. The offer provides a bonus bet up to $1,500 when betting just $5. If your first bet loses with the book, your bet will be refunded in the form of a bonus bet up to $1,500, making it a nice bonus bet offer.

This promo is one of the best bonus bet offers available in Indiana, West Virginia, Colorado, New Jersey, and the other states the operator is available in.

BetMGM runs several other sportsbook bonuses and promos. These vary throughout the year and sports seasons, depending on what game or tournament is on. For example, during the summer, they have promos around lots of MLB games. During fall, you can lots of bonuses for NFL games, college football, and soccer, and plenty of chances for you to place a bonus bet.

We have always found BetMGM to be one of the better online Sportsbooks for those who like to bet on big game events. When bigger sporting events are happening (think Super Bowl, March Madness, etc.), there are more bonus options. The World Series also gets the bonus treatment.

We suggest it’s always worth looking on the promos tab to stay up to date with the offerings. The BetMGM deposit bonus is available to all new customers signing up at betmgm.com online or on their mobile. If you use Twitter, we also suggest following them @BetMGM

What could be improved on the app?

When the online Sportsbook was first launched in NJ, it didn’t tick a lot of boxes. The layout was pretty awful, and it was clumsy and awkward to use. The same applied to the app. It was not one we wanted to wager on or to recommend. Luckily, MGM fixed this, and this new version of the BetMGM app (Mobile, Android & iOS) has ironed out all the issues, so there isn’t that much we don’t like.

We wanted to see a live chat customer support option was a feature we were after, and low and behold, the new version has one. We have always preferred a live chat facility to solve any issues in a quick and timely manner. Live sports streaming through the BetMGM sportsbook app was another feature we wanted to see, and the good news is that this has now been added too.

At the minute, there is not a vast amount of Indiana mobile Sportsbook app competition, so BetMGM will sit quite comfortably as one of the books we recommended and use regularly. Will it give the likes of BetRivers, Caesars Sportsbook, and DraftKings a run for its money? We are pretty sure it will!
