BetMGM Virginia Review

Virginia's legal online sports betting industry finally launched on January 21, 2021. BetMGM Virginia was among the first to go live in-state but not launch on the first day. It launched a few days later, on January 27, 2021.

BetMGM Sportsbook

PlayMGM Virginia Sports Betting

Virginia was in somewhat of a unique situation compared to most states once the state government passed legislation to allow legal sports betting. There were no casinos that could get the ball rolling relatively soon, like in many states.

Sports betting would have to take place entirely online for the immediate future.

That made the market perfect for the BetMGM sportsbook to move into with its industry-leading sports betting mobile app. Renamed BetMGM after initially going by PlayMGM, Virginia is the tenth state for the BetMGM app to operate in.

BetMGM Sports Betting Partners in Virginia

Many states require an online sportsbook to partner with a land-based retail location to operate in-state. Virginia has no such requirement, which is good since there are no land-based casinos in Virginia (but there are plans to build a few).

But BetMGM Virginia does have a few partners that it works with. Shortly after launching in Virginia, the BetMGM sportsbook announced a new partnership deal with the Washington Nationals.

Then there is the Entain Group which MGM Resorts International partnered with to create the BetMGM mobile sports betting app. BetMGM does not have a partnership established with the MGM National Harbor in Maryland (the nearest retail BetMGM sportsbook). 

Since the BetMGM sportsbook is integrated with the MGM Resorts International rewards program, the M Life Rewards program, BetMGM offers users ways to earn points towards perks at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland or any other MGM resort.

PlayMGM Virginia change name to BetMGM

The BetMGM Virginia mobile sports betting app began as the PlayMGM app in New Jersey in 2017. It resulted from a collaboration between MGM Resorts International and GVC Holdings (now the Entain Group). But users gave the original app a lukewarm reception.

ROAR Digital, who created the PlayMGM app, revamped the mobile sports betting app and relaunched it in September 2019 under a new name, BetMGM.

BetMGM Live Streaming Virginia

betmgm live streaming

With the popularity of live/in-game betting rising, many sportsbooks stream live sports events on their website and mobile app. BetMGM Virginia offers live streaming, but only on a few select sports (i.e., European soccer leagues, tennis, etc.).

To watch, sports fans will need to have a sportsbook account with BetMGM VA. You will also need to deposit into your sportsbook account.

About BetMGM VA

When BetMGM launched in Virginia on January 27, 2021, Virginia became the tenth state BetMGM operates in. Virginia does not require online sportsbooks to partner with a land-based casino— which is good since there are not any in-state. While it is legal to bet on college sports in general, it is illegal to bet on any games involving a team based in Virginia. Live betting on college games is also prohibited.

Entain Group

Formerly known as GVC holdings, the Entain Group is one of the largest sports betting and gambling providers in the world, in both the retail and online sectors. In 2018 they partnered with MGM Resorts to form ROAR Digital. The purpose behind ROAR Digital was clear—to create a world-class online betting and gaming platform.

In 2020, MGM Resorts tried to takeover Entain with an $11 billion buyout, but the Entain Group rejected the offer. After seeing their $11 billion offer refused, MGM Resorts announced in January 2021 that it would not be submitting another bid.

Mobile BetMGM Virginia

With the sports betting industry only operating online in Virginia, having an industry-leading website and sports betting app will be vital to succeeding in the Virginia online sports betting market. While the original PlayMGM app was not well-received, the revamped BetMGM sports betting app has established itself as one of the best sports betting apps in the industry.

Sports fans can register for a new account through the mobile app, manage their account, and bet on anything (prop bets, futures, games, live betting, etc.) as if they were betting from a laptop or desktop computer.

The app is available online via the Apple store for iOS users and via a link on the website for Android users.
