BetMGM Welcome Offer: Bet £10, Get £40 in Free Bets
Opt in, deposit £10 or more and place a sports bet within seven days of registering. BetMGM then credits four £10 free bets: two for football accumulators of four or more selections and two for sports multiples of two or more, valid for seven days. Virtual sports, esports and horse racing outside the UK and Ireland do not count. The accumulator rule is the catch: all £40 has to go on multiples, so a single-bet punter gets little from it. The offer scores 6 out of 10: 7 for the £40 headline, minus 1 for the seven-day expiry. No wagering applies.

Markets and Betting Types
BetMGM prices 30 or more sports with 150 or more markets on a Premier League match, cash out, live streaming for logged-in customers and an esports section, and is known for its darts promotions. It is not in our price feeds, so the depth figure is our own count. Markets score 8 out of 10: 5 for breadth, 1 each for cash out, streaming and esports.
Odds and Payout
BetMGM is not in either of the price feeds behind our monthly odds test, so it has no measured payout and the odds criterion is left out of its overall score until its prices are in a feed we can measure.
None
Overall score calculated on welcome offer, markets, payments and app until an odds measurement exists.
Mobile App
BetMGM has native apps on both platforms. The iOS app needs iOS 16.4 or later and is a 210MB download, rated 4.6 out of 5 on the App Store; the Android app needs Android 8 or later and is rated 4.4 on Google Play. The app scores 5 out of 10: 3 for both platforms and 2 for the store ratings. Streaming is credited under markets because our research does not confirm it inside the app.
In-Play Betting and Live Streaming
In-play betting runs across the main sports with regular price boosts and cash out, and live streaming is available once you are logged in.
- Live streaming for logged-in customers
- In-play betting with cash out
- Darts and football promotions for existing customers
Payment Methods
Six deposit methods: Visa and Mastercard debit, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer, with withdrawals to all six. The minimum deposit and withdrawal are £10, the maximum deposit £10,000, deposits are instant and withdrawals take one to three days.
Payments score 8 out of 10: debit cards 2, PayPal 2, Apple and Google Pay 1, bank transfer 1, £10 minimum deposit 1, withdrawals within three days 1.

Our Verdict on BetMGM
BetMGM scores 6.7 out of 10 on four criteria. The apps and the cashier are among the best we have scored, and the £40 offer is large if you bet multiples. The 30-sport book has cash out, streaming and esports. Odds are unmeasured while BetMGM sits outside our price feeds.
