WASHINGTON, June 10, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM announced today the expansion of its
market-leading sports betting app into Washington, D.C. in partnership with the
Washington Nationals, making BetMGM the only mobile sports betting
app available at Nationals Park. Today's news is part of
BetMGM's multi-year, exclusive partnership with the Washington
Nationals, which also includes a retail BetMGM Sportsbook connected
to Nationals Park, scheduled to open later this year.
"Launching in Washington, D.C.
at Nationals Park sets the stage for our plans to expand BetMGM
within the region, as we've already seen great success in
Virginia," said Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM. "The Washington
Nationals have been a fantastic partner, committed to innovating
the in-stadium fan experience and we're looking forward to opening
our retail sportsbook at the stadium later this year."
The BetMGM app is now available for download
on both iOS and
Android in Washington, D.C. While the app can
be accessed throughout the District, due to local
restrictions, to successfully place mobile wagers, users
will need to
be within a two-block radius
of Nationals Park. BetMGM's gaming platform will
provide Nationals fans a unique opportunity to enhance their game
day experience and bring them closer to the action on the
field.
"As our official sports betting partner, BetMGM further enhances
the greatest in-venue fan experience in Washington, D.C. through its state-of-the-art
entertainment products and services," said Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating Office of Lerner
Sports Group. "The BetMGM mobile app will enable our fans to engage
with the game in new and exciting ways, while the BetMGM sportsbook
connected to Nationals Park will provide Nationals fans and the
D.C. community with a first-class gathering place to celebrate
their passion for sports."
BetMGM's integration with MGM Resorts' M life Rewards program
allows Nationals fans the opportunity to redeem their gameplay for
world-class experiences at MGM Resorts properties nationwide,
including Borgata in New Jersey,
Bellagio and MGM Grand in Las
Vegas, and MGM National Harbor in Maryland, just across the river.
Jorge Perez, President & COO,
MGM National Harbor, said, "As a leader in delivering monumental
experiences, today is a very exciting day for MGM National Harbor.
This becomes the first of many offerings we are developing to
seamlessly connect sports and entertainment across the DMV,
providing fans with unique opportunities to interact with our
world-class resort and casino."
As BetMGM continues to expand its sports betting platforms,
responsible gaming education remains a key focus. BetMGM is proud
to provide resources to help customers play responsibly. For more
