BetMGM Casino Bonus

Already a renowned casino brand in America, BetMGM recently launched in the UK, making it one of the first big US names to debut over here. Based on its massive reputation over the pond, the iGaming platform is expected to deliver exceptional services to British punters. Featuring a classic and elegant website design, players can enjoy their favourite games on the go with its mobile-optimised and user-friendly navigation.

New BetMGM players can expect a generous casino and sports welcome bonus when they sign up on the website. In the sports section, BetMGM offers you to £40 in free bets as a new customer. As for the casino bonus, newbies will get up 100 free spins on selected games upon their first deposit. 

As ever, there’s some terms and conditions to get familiar with. Key takeaways from those are:

• Minimum deposit of £10 to access the free spins 
• Free spins can only be used on Big Bass Splash
• The welcome package can’t be used in conjunction with another offer 
• You’ve seven days to use the bonuses once activated
• There’s a 35x wagering requirement before you can withdraw.

Live Casino Bonus

While BetMGM offers live casino games, there are no live dealer bonuses for the moment. But let’s wait and see what the future holds. 

Sports Bonus

Besides the welcome package, BetMGM is currently running a Golden Boost offer that can be used on any sports market, plus a Golden Goal promo that's only valid for Premier League predictions. Both offers are available to new and existing players for the period they'll run. Players can claim the Golden Boost by clicking on the claim icon on the offer card. Note that this promo is only valid on Profit Boost bets.

For the Golden Goal offer, players only need to enter six predictions for the Premier League matches of the week. Usually, a jackpot prize is given to the player with six correct predictions at the end of the match week, but it's split between people if more than one of you gets all the predictions right. However, in a case where no one wins the grand prize, it's shared amongst players with the highest number of correct predictions for the week.

Bingo Bonus

If you're looking for a bingo bonus, you’ll be disappointed to learn that BetMGM doesn't offer bingo bonuses. It’s unsurprising, given there are no bingo games at the site. Not yet, anyway.

VIP Programme

While we couldn't find an exclusive VIP programme at BetMGM, there's a reward programme that all players with a registered and verified account are eligible for. It's a loyalty programme that rewards punters who complete 200 spins with a BetMGM Spin&Win offer.

Bonus Withdrawal Difficulty

From my feel of things, the bonus terms are pretty fair at BetMGM. Take for example the welcome bung. With a wagering requirement of 35x, it's bang on the industry average. Across all the promos I found, things are much the same. So while there's nothing to write home about here, there's also nothing to be scared off by.

Find More Bonuses

For a website that’s only recently launched, BetMGM has a spectacular collection of slots, table games, and live casino titles from reputable software providers. Players like you are in for a fun and exhilarating gaming experience with quality visuals and plenty of twists. 

But even more exciting is the BetMGM Exclusives lobby, which features in-house games from the gaming giant. You literally won’t find these anywhere else.

BetMGM has over 20 titles for table game lovers to pick from. While the number is small, the casino only just launched, so its collection is expected to grow with time. The table games on offer span from online blackjack and baccarat to poker and roulette in unique variations. All the classics, in other words. 

We enjoyed playing the following table games:

• Dragon Tiger
• Golden Wealth Baccarat
• 100 to 1 Roulette
• Joker Poker.

BetMGM has over 200+ slot titles available for its UK gamers. Players will find multiple slot types like classic slots, progressive slots, video slots, jackpots, and megaways. As usual, the games are from trusted software providers like NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Blueprint Gaming, Golden Rock Studios, Red Tiger, and Play'n Go. 

You'll find plenty of titles from the MGM Exclusives in the slots selection, which is ideal if you're looking to take a break from more familiar slots games. 

We recommend playing the following: 

• Freya's Wedding 
• Lost Relics
• Mega Mine
• Lucky Money.

UK iGaming enthusiasts are in for an immersive experience at BetMGM live casino lobby. Most of the live dealer games are from Evolution Gaming, OnAir Entertainment, and Playtech. Besides other classic live casino titles, you'll again find MGM Exclusives. 

Some thrilling titles to enjoy at the live casino lobby are:

• BetMGM Roulette
• Adventure Beyond Wonderland
• Funky Time 
• Exclusive Baccarat 2.

If you love volatility with your slots, you surely already know Gates of Olympus. This highly volatitle title comes with an above average 96.5% RTP, just to sweeten the deal. Personally I love this game's magical orb releases that land up to 500x boosts, seemingly whenever you least expect it.

Find More Casino Games

Just as we'd all expect from an established brand like MGM, there's a dedicated BetMGM app. It's available in both Apple and Android app stores, and seems to be a hit with us punters, since it's constantly ranking in the top 50 in the sports and gaming categories on those stores. 

Honestly? For me, one little disappointment is that there's not an MGM app dedicated solely to casino. The sportsbook is rolled in together, and while that's not a problem per se, I've seen rival big names offer distinct platforms that are built around gaming.

BetMGM takes fair gaming seriously, and the games on the site are all from the best software providers, such as NetEnt, Microgaming, Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play, and Evolution Gaming. Games from these software providers are certified by independent testing agencies like eCOGRA, iTech Labs, GLI, and TST, ensuring randomised and fair game outcomes.

BetMGM also publishes the return to player (RTP) percentages for all its games on its website, and it has an overall RTP of 96.5%, which is above the industry average.

Now this is where BetMGM Casino throws a little disappointment our way. Compared with other sites there really aren't a lot of payment methods accepted here. Those that are available include trusted global brands like Visa and Maestro, while the site is also one of a growing number of Apple Pay and PayPal casinos. Though sadly it's yet to join the ranks of Google Pay online casinos. 

BetMGM is operated by LeoVegas Gaming PLC, one of the most trusted names in the industry. The online casino is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, ensuring that it follows high standards for responsible gambling, fair play, and customer protection. 

You don't have to worry about your details falling into the wrong hands, as BetMGM uses SSL encryption to secure players' data. But that's not all; the casino respects your privacy and adheres to the Data Protection Act 2018. Players have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the use of their data at any time.

BetMGM uses a third-party source to verify the information that you provide when signing up. Sooner or later, they'll ask you to provide:

• Photo ID: drivers licence, passport or national ID card.
• Proof of address: a bank statement or utility bill. 
• Documents to verify your bank account: screenshots or a PDF of a bank statement. 

If everything checks out, your account will be approved, and you can start playing on the site thereafter. Verification usually takes about 24 to 48 hours. 

BetMGM is committed to promoting safer gambling for players, and it does this by providing a wide selection of tools. These enable players to control how much time and money they spend gambling. They include:

• Deposit limit
• Loss limit
• Session limit
• Wagering limits
• Reality check
• Time-out
• Self-exclusion
• Parental controls
• Self-assessment.

The casino also partners with support organisations like Gambling Therapy, BeGamblingAware, and Gamblers Anonymous to provide help in dealing with problem gambling. 

BetMGM prides itself on providing high quality and responsive customer service. To this end, the casino has a very robust Help Centre with a FAQ section that answers the most pressing questions.

Players can also opt to use the live chat option on the website. However, you might be given a number and required to wait a few minutes to get the next available support agent.  While the casino has email support, the email address isn't listed, and the only way to reach them is through the Help Centre if you don't find the answer to your query there. 

BetMGM launched with a bang, bringing its reputation for excellence into the UK iGaming market. The casino offers highly competitive bonuses to both new and existing players, while always ensuring top notch security. But it’s the exclusive in-house games at the casino that really make it stand out from the pack.  

The BetMGM website is superbly optimised and is a standout mobile casino in the UK. Gamers looking to play on the go can download the mobile app from the App Store or Google Play.

Although the customer support channels could do with more improvement, players will find that they'll have a memorable experience playing at BetMGM.

What Surprised Me

While the game selection isn't as robust as most casinos, those that are there really do come from only the best and trusted providers in the game – and the number of titles is certain to grow in time.
