BetMGM has launched its mobile app in Illinois, giving customers in the Prairie State access to the operator’s online sports wagering platform.

Launching over the weekend, BetMGM’s users in Illinois now have access to a variety of betting options from the operator via the mobile app, as well as access to earn experiences at MGM Resorts‘ establishments across the US.

CEO Adam Greenblatt commented: “This launch marks a significant milestone for BetMGM as we enter one of the country’s biggest sports betting markets.

“We look forward to working with the state of Illinois to bring its passionate sports fans a new, innovative, and unique sports betting experience.”

BetMGM promotes ‘a user-friendly sports betting platform’ to make it easy for customers to customize pre-game, live in-play, futures, and parlay wagers.

Users can also participate in the operator’s free-to-play contests surrounding big sporting events, as well as the One Game Parlay product where players can combine their bets on a single game for larger payouts.

The app is available to download in the Prairie State on both iOS and Android and is accessible via desktop at www.betmgm.com.

Earlier this month, MGM Resorts International and BetMGM expanded their responsible gaming initiative, providing comprehensive responsible gaming tools for both in-person and online gaming via GameSense. BetMGM also recently announced NHL MVP Connor McDavid as its newest brand ambassador.
