A new mobile sportsbook app has been launched in Mississippi by the gambling and sports betting operator, BetMGM. The app allows players to place bets with their mobile devices on the premises of the Gold Strike Casino Resort, with who Bet MGM is already in partnership. Players will be able to place pre-game bets, as well as futures, in-play and parlay wagers via the app.
This is not BetMGM’s first entry into Mississippi. The group already runs a brick-and-mortar sportsbook – BetMGM Book Bar & Grill – at Gold Strike Casino Resort. However, the new app will also allow players to wager on their mobile devices while on the casino floor.
“We’ve had great success with the opening of the BetMGM Book Bar & Grill at Gold Strike and are thrilled to complement our retail offering with the launch of the BetMGM mobile app in Mississippi,” said BetMGM’s chief executive Adam Greenblatt said.
“Sports fans at MGM’s world-class Tunica resort can now use their mobile devices to engage with the teams they love, while earning rewards for their gameplay.”
The app will use geolocation technology to ensure that players are physically located within the resort so that they can legally bet on sports.
The app will be linked to the MGM Resorts M Life Life Rewards program.
