BetMGM MD Mobile App Review

Does the BetMGM App Operate the Same Across Different States?

Before we get into the app review, it is important to note that the BetMGM platform is the same across various states. However, unlike some other sportsbook platforms, BetMGM requires users to create a new, state-specific account whenever they are in a different legal betting state. This means that if you were to travel from Maryland to Virginia, for example, you'd have to create a new account in the app for the state of Virginia.

This can cause some friction in the user experience, but BetMGM has maintained this practice for quite some time.

BetMGM App Experience   

Logging In

Logging into the BetMGM app lags behind some of the other top sportsbooks when it comes to streamlined Face ID login functionality. Our team found that they usually had to perform the extra step of putting in their account password to gain access to the app. Luckily, BetMGM can remember some of your account information to cut down on the manual input, but ultimately, the experience could be a little better.

Navigation

Navigating the BetMGM app is simple once you've familiarized yourself with the general layout of the app. BetMGM's general organization can be slightly overwhelming as there are many banners and events that populate the home screen. Our team preferred using the A-Z Menu feature that provided a more direct approach to finding betting markets. BetMGM also features a very solid in-app search feature that makes find specific betting markets quick and easy.

App Speed

BetMGM does have a noticeable lag throughout the app when navigating between pages. Our team often found a half-second gap or more between loading screens. The app feels like a desktop version of the platform ported to a mobile device, which works fine, but is not a top performer among other apps in this regard.

Data Density

One area that BetMGM excels is in the amount of games that they display on a single page without users have to scroll all the time. Being able to see more information on a single screen allows betters to make faster betting decisions, which is particularly helpful with live betting.

Bet Slip

The BetMGM bet slip, or where you make your wager, is adequate. It gets the job done in terms of its overall functionality, but minor issues like small text font and the inability to scroll through additional odds while the bet slip is open, do make for some frustrations.

If you want to bet on it, chances are BetMGM has a market for it. As one of the premier sportsbooks in the legal online sports betting industry, BetMGM offers Maryland users a line for just about every sporting event imaginable, including a variety of niche markets as well. BetMGM does tend to lag behind competitors in terms of non-sports related markets, such as political props, but that is not what most players look for or care about. 

BetMGM Sports Betting Partnerships in Maryland

• Baltimore Ravens: BetMGM was the first official sports betting partner of the Ravens. This lucrative partnership has granted BetMGM signage and promotional opportunities throughout M&T Stadium as well as plugs on the team's social media and digital marketing channels.

Maryland is still fairly new to legalized sports betting, so don't be surprised if BetMGM strikes more partnership deals with other teams in the state in the near future.

BetMGM Market Pricing Compared to Other Sportsbooks

Different sportsbooks are likely to have slightly different odds and price lines for a given sporting event. With that in mind, it is always important to consider which sportsbook is offering the best price, or the highest potential return. Action Network conducted a thorough analysis of the top sportsbooks to determine which offered the best average prices across sports markets.

Here is how BetMGM fared:

Analysis parameters:

• Data collected from 1/1/2021-4/1/2022
• Used closing odds (the odds 30 minutes before game-time) in calculations
• Each data point is the average book-edge for the month
• Each # is represented as a percent of the book's edge
• The book with the lowest average book edge is considered to have the best price.

NFL	4.58	4.55	4.85	4.57	4.43
NBA	4.55	4.56	4.74	5.76	5.47
MLB	4.48	4.58	4.72	4.83	3.86
NCAAF	4.75	4.60	4.88	5.19	4.56
NCAAB	4.68	4.54	4.70	5.29	4.54
Total	4.66	4.62	4.74	5.18	4.71

Overall, BetMGM falls into the middle part of the pack (skewing slightly high) in terms of its average pricing. It does not feature the best price in any one sport, but it is competitive across most major betting markets.
