Digital gaming operator enters 24th market on first day of state's legal sports betting

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, today launched its mobile app in Kansas.

"We're confident sports fans across the Sunflower State will enjoy the excitement of wagering with BetMGM," said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. "We would like to thank the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission, Kansas Lottery and Kansas Crossing Casino for being great partners and supporting our efforts."

The BetMGM app features a user-friendly sports betting platform, making it easy to customize pre-game, live in-play, futures and parlay wagers. Customers can engage in BetMGM's exclusive free-to-play contests surrounding marquee sporting events as well as the One Game Parlay product where players can combine their wagers on a single game to earn even larger payouts.

Now available in 24 markets across North America, BetMGM offers a world-class loyalty program providing customers the opportunity to earn points with every wager placed. BetMGM Rewards points can be redeemed for accommodations at MGM Resorts properties nationwide including Bellagio, ARIA and MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Borgata in Atlantic City, MGM Grand Detroit, MGM Northfield Park in Ohio, MGM National Harbor in Maryland and Beau Rivage in Mississippi.

As BetMGM continues to expand to new markets, responsible gambling education remains a key focus.
