Navigating the BetMGM Sportsbook app
Once you open the BetMGM app you will either click the “Log in” or “Register” button at the top right corner of the screen. If you haven’t already registered with BetMGM there are instructions on how to do so up above.
One thing you might notice about the BetMGM app is that it can be viewed either vertically or horizontally. While some apps look and function a little differently in each orientation, BetMGM is not one of them. The only real difference you will see is that in the sideways view there are popular games listed on the left side of the screen. In the upright position those contests are displayed in the middle of the screen.
Now let’s take a look at some of the most important areas of the BetMGM Sportsbook app.

- Homepage: On the homepage you will be able to click on the all sections that are discussed below. You also will see a listing of the top sports to wager on at BetMGM listed along the top of the screen. Directly below that are the odds boosts that BetMGM online sportsbook has going. When you keep scrolling you will see a listing of either live games or upcoming contests. What you might miss is a section called “Easy parlay.” Here is where you’ll find the BetMGM parlay builder. It definitely is worth checking out, because it truly does making building parlays easy.
- My account: Located at the top right corner. Here you are able to check your balance, change your settings, contact the help desk and view your M Life Rewards status. You also can access the cashier where you can withdraw or deposit funds out of or into your BetMGM account. This also is where you can log out of your account.
- My inbox: Located next to My Account. My inbox displays various messages from BetMGM. Most of the time these messages have to do with on-going promotions or free bets you have either earned or been rewarded. Make sure to check this out often, because BetMGM has been known to give out free bets, but you only have 24 hours to claim them most of the time.
- Promotions page: You can access the promotions page either by clicking the tab labeled “Promotions” at the bottom of the page or the one located in your account. Here you’ll find all the current BetMGM promos being offered. Most of the time you need to opt-in in order to be eligible for them. To do so, you’ll need to click on the promo, then select “Learn more” and lastly scroll down to the bottom and tap on “Opt-in.”
- Betslip: Located at the bottom of the screen in the center. The betslip is one of the most important features of any sportsbook. BetMGM’s betslip is easy to use, as adding and removing games for parlays is quite simple. You can then track your live and past bets in the “My Bets” section which is located just to the right of your betslip.
Best features of the BetMGM Sportsbook app?
There are a lot of great features for the BetMGM Sportsbook app in Michigan, but we wanted to offer our take on the three best features that BetMGM has to offer. Here they are:
- Parlay Builder: It was announced in October 2020 that BetGenius had partnered with BetMGM and the two were launching Parlay Builder for BetMGM Sportsbook. Building parlays can take awhile, but Parlay Builder is fast and easy. We really like the same-game parlays you’re able to build with NFL games. BetMGM also offers pre-built parlays which really take the hassle out of parlays entirely.
- M Life Rewards: Not having a loyalty program is one of our biggest complaints about Michigan sportsbooks, so it should come as no surprise that one of our favorite features at BetMGM Sportsbook is the M Life Rewards program. Players earn credits for every $100 in straight bets they place and for every $50 in round robins and parlays. The loyalty program is the same one you will find at MGM Resorts, which means you can use your rewards at BetMGM Sportsbook or at MGM casinos and resorts around the world. Talk about a win-win!
- Promos and freebies: One of the deciding factors for a lot of bettors when choosing a sportsbook is the number of promotions and giveaways they offer. Well, at BetMGM online sportsbook in Michigan you can expect quite a few of both. There are BetMGM promos in which you can increase the money you win on parlays, others where you get free bets for betting at least $50 a week and still others where you can get refunds on lost bets. Not only that during the NFL season BetMGM has free contest where you can win $5, $10 or $100 free bets for selecting the first touchdown scorer in three selected games.
How could BetMGM Sportsbook improve?
We’d be remiss if we only told you about all the great things BetMGM has to offers Michiganders. While we recommend BetMGM there still are a few aspects of the sportsbook that aren’t our favorites, here’s a look at three such areas.
- Simpler promotions: We get it, pretty much all online sportsbook require you to opt into their promotions in order to be eligible for them. We’re not sure any are quite as difficult to do though as the ones at BetMGM. First you need to go to the promotions pages, then you have to find the promo you want, click on the image, next when the “Learn more” tab appears you need to click on that, a new screen appears and finally you can scroll to the bottom and click “Opt-in.” Let’s eliminate a few of those steps please.
- Different betslip settings: We were surprised when we first started using the BetMGM Sportsbook app that when we went to make a bet our betslip always would displace $50 when we selected a wager. When we dug into our user setting we found that the defaults were set at $50 and to not require confirmation when placing a bet. We would rather the defaults were always set to the smallest bet amount and require confirmation when placing bets. Anything that makes it less likely for users to place a bet on accident is what we like to see.
- Toned down home screen: When it comes to online sportsbook there is a whole lot going on. Between the number of sports and bets you can make, to promos, odds boosts, cashiers, betslips and a lot more it can be overwhelming. What makes it easier to manage is when all those things aren’t cramming into an app’s main page. It definitely is not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to maybe get ride of the rotating marquee that displays in the middle of the page when you log in.
