The already-robust mobile sports betting market in New York will soon have an additional player, and fans of BetMGM Sportsbook NY can’t wait.
When mobile sports betting launched in New York on Jan. 8, DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, and BetRivers had received the necessary statutory and regulatory approvals from the New York State Gaming Commission to go live.
BetMGM Noted For Its Promos and Bonus Offers
BetMGM NY will launch with a healthy offering of promotions designed to reward bettors. BetMGM is a major player in every sports betting market in which it’s active. This is expected to be the case in New York as well. In other states, BetMGM is offering a risk-free bet up to $1,000 by using the BetMGM bonus code “TODAY” upon registering.
BetMGM may offer a similar or even an enhanced bonus to New York sports bettors.
DraftKings is offering a $50 free bet plus a $1,000 deposit match in New York. FanDuel offers a $100 credit when you register and a $1,000 risk-free bet. Caesars has been even more generous, with $300 just for signing up and a deposit match up to $3,000.
BetMGM could offer launch bonuses as well, so check back here for those details.
BetMGM NY Partners With Madison Square Garden, Knicks, Rangers
BetMGM New York was the first sportsbook to sign on as an official sponsor of Madison Square Garden, the Knicks and Rangers, and MSG Entertainment. The deal calls for BetMGM to have prominent signage during Knicks and Rangers home games, as well as a presence on MSG Network broadcasts.
Caesars NY is also a sponsor of MSG and its professional team tenants.
New York will be BetMGM’s 15th market for mobile sports betting joining Arizona, Colorado, Washington D.C., Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
When Will BetMGM NY Launch?
with 4 sportsbook apps already launched, that leaves 5 more platforms with provisional licenses working through the final steps of the approval process. That approval is expected sooner rather than later. In addition to BetMGM NY, Bally Bet, Points Bet, Resorts World, and WynnBet have also received conditional licenses and are completing the approval process.
BetMGM and the others will launch upon approval from the NYSGC. We anticipate BetMGM to be available in New York over the next couple of weeks, in time for Super Bowl 2022.
Registering On BetMGM Is Quick And Easy
Once BetMGM New York launches, use bonus code “TODAY” to get the current offer.
While BetMGM is available on your laptop or desktop computer, many prefer the convenience of betting via their mobile phone or tablet. In that case, the first step is downloading the app to your favorite device.
If you have an iOS operating system, go to the App Store, find the BetMGM app, and then download it. If you have an Android device, you can download the app from the Play Store.
Upon launching the app, the registration process will require your name, address, email address, and cell phone number. You’ll also set up several security questions and provide your Social Security Number. These precautions are to ensure no one else can access your account.
And be sure to enter your BetMGM NY Bonus Code as well so you don’t miss out on the bonus offers.
You’ll also have the opportunity to link funds to your account, which can be done in a variety of ways – including a debit card or PayPal account. Some credit card companies allow you to deposit funds into a sportsbook account, others do not.
Once all the steps are completed, you’ll be able to bet on your favorite team, aside from any college teams from New York or on college games held in New York.
Still, with the NFL Playoffs here and the Super Bowl looming, the NBA and NHL the middle of their seasons, baseball season right around the corner, major golf and soccer tournaments coming up, and lots more, there is no shortage of ways to enjoy mobile sports betting in New Yor
