Best-in-class sports betting app enters eighth state

Mobile sports betting could be quite the boon to the Empire State. In November, New Jersey recorded a sports betting handle of $931.6 million, outpacing even Nevada and breaking a previous. The convenience of sports betting apps is helpful on busy sports weekends like the Super Bowl, March Madness, and any NFL Sunday. However, that’s not the only time the mobile apps come in handy. The advantage of employing an app spills over to everyday sports betting since there are more people betting in Nevada than ever. For companies that operate mobile betting, a major source of revenue is in-game betting, where customers can place bets on a game while it’s in progress — the odds adjust with every pitch.

JERSEY CITY, NJ – (January 4, 2021) – BetMGM launched its market leading sports betting app in Iowa today, giving customers access to benefits tied to MGM Resorts’ iconic casino-resorts nationwide. Today’s announcement was made in conjunction with Diamond Jo Casino, a high-energy casino in Dubuque’s historic downtown district.

“I can’t think of a better way to kick off the new year than by launching BetMGM in Iowa, a state well known for its passionate sports fans,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. “Our connection with MGM Resorts enables BetMGM users in the Hawkeye State to earn rewards, from hotel suites to dinners at award-winning restaurants, all while engaging in the excitement of our cutting-edge sports betting experience.”

The BetMGM app offers a user-friendly sports betting experience, making it easy to customize pre-game, live in-play, futures and parlay wagers. BetMGM’s integration with MGM Resorts’ M life Rewards program allows BetMGM users in Iowa the opportunity to redeem their gameplay for world-class experiences at MGM Resorts properties nationwide, including Bellagio and MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Borgata in New Jersey, Beau Rivage in Mississippi and MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

Iowa marks the eighth state in which BetMGM’s mobile app is available statewide, joining Nevada, New Jersey, Colorado, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia.

As BetMGM continues to expand its sports betting platforms to new states, responsible gaming education remains a key focus. BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly.

The BetMGM app is available for download in Iowa on both iOS and Android, and accessible via desktop at www.betmgm.com. For more information, follow @BetMGM on Twitter.
