Yes, Playbook is Compatible With BetMGM Sportsbook!
As of December 2025, Playbook (Action Network’s AI-powered assistant for sports betting) works with BetMGM (a major legal U.S. sportsbook).
When you use Playbook, you’re not handing it your BetMGM account or letting it place bets for you. You’re using it to turn a pick into a bet slip that’s ready to review in BetMGM.
How? With QuickSlip, a link Playbook creates that opens your sportsbook with the wager already loaded, so you’re not going through menus while the odds change.
If you’ve ever watched line moves on a Sunday and felt the price change while you’re still moving around, you know how fast that moment can get away from you.
Most bettors run this through the Playbook AI bot on X/Twitter or Discord chat. You tag @Playbook under the pick, include BetMGM, and it replies with a QuickSlip link. Tap it and you land in BetMGM with the slip pre-filled, then you choose if you’re still good with the line and the wager amount.
It’s especially handy when the pick isn’t clean text. A screenshot of a parlay, a slip someone posts in a group chat, a quick list of player props before kickoff, you name it.
Instead of rebuilding every leg, you let the bot read it and load it.
And because Playbook supports major sportsbooks, BetMGM included, you can keep your routine the same even if you like to compare odds before you commit.
That’s one of the easiest ways to bet smarter without reinventing your whole system.

Step-by-Step: How to Use Playbook With BetMGM
This is what it looks like when you’re moving fast: you see a pick you like (maybe it’s your own read, maybe it’s something you’re watching in a group chat) and you want it in BetMGM without turning it into a five-minute scavenger hunt.
- Get the pick and make sure it’s specific. Sport, market, number. If it’s player props, include the stat. “Mahomes over 1.5 passing TDs” beats “Mahomes over.”
- Tag @Playbook + “BetMGM”. Quick reply, include the book name, done. The AI bot can work with messy posts, but it needs to know where you want the wager built.
- Screenshot picks are fine. If the pick is a screenshot, tag the bot under the image.
- Open the QuickSlip link you get back. If the bet is available, you’ll get a link. Tap it.
- Review in BetMGM, then place the bet. BetMGM opens with the bet slip ready. Check the odds, confirm the market, enter your stake, and place it.
One thing to expect: if the line moves between the time the pick is posted and when you click, BetMGM will show the updated number.
Using Playbook for an NFL Bet on BetMGM
Let’s illustrate with an example. Someone posts: “Chiefs -3.5 looks good. Under 48.5 too.” You reply: “@Playbook BetMGM”.
If both bets are available, you get a link back. Click it, BetMGM opens, and the two legs are already waiting on your bet slip.
At that point, you’re just deciding whether the price still works for you, not trying to rebuild the whole thing while the game menu loads.
All Supported Sports and BetMGM Betting Markets on Playbook
Playbook Bot is built around the core U.S. board: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, and college basketball.
On bet types, it’s mainly spreads, totals, moneylines, and common player props. That’s where the data points are clean, the pricing is active, and the model can do its job without guessing.
What it doesn’t support right now includes soccer, tennis, cross-sport parlays, teasers, futures, and some player-combo props. If you’re betting those, you can still use BetMGM, you’re just building it manually instead of using the link flow.
Comparing Playbook and BetMGM Features
If you’re trying to picture how these two fit together, think of it like this. Playbook is the assistant. It’s AI powered, and it’s there for the “before you hit submit” part: take a pick, turn it into a bet slip link (even if it’s coming from a screenshot), and help you compare odds across major sportsbooks when you want to sanity-check the price.
BetMGM, on the other hand, is a sportsbook. It’s where you actually place bets, see what’s available in that market, and manage everything after the wager goes through.
So, the division is simple: Playbook gets you to a ready-to-review slip faster, BetMGM is the checkpoint where you choose whether you’re taking that line, straight or parlay, for whatever amount of money you’re comfortable putting. Just remember that while Playbook can speed up the process, it can’t make bankroll decisions for you.
Why Bettors Use Both Platforms Together
Most of the value is boring in a good way: fewer steps, fewer mistakes. If you’re tailing picks from social media or a chat thread, the last thing you want is to misread a number, get the wrong market, or rebuild a parlay leg by leg while line moves are happening.
Playbook cuts down the typing and the menu-hunting, then BetMGM is where you confirm the odds and place bets.
The other advantage is price discipline. If you like to compare odds before you lock in, Playbook makes that easier across the sportsbooks it supports.
Sometimes BetMGM is the best number, sometimes it isn’t. Either way, you’re making the call with your eyes open, which is the whole “bet smarter” idea without pretending there’s a shortcut to winning.
Responsible Gambling With Playbook and BetMGM
Playbook can give you analysis and help you act faster. That doesn’t change the basics: it’s still you making the call, and it’s still a wager.
Speed cuts both ways. When it’s easy to place bets, it’s also easy to place too many. Set limits that match your real life, keep stakes consistent, and use BetMGM’s responsible gambling tools (deposit limits, timeouts, self-exclusion) if you want the sportsbook platform to enforce the rules you set for yourself.
Action Network’s Tips on How You Can Use Playbook With BetMGM
- When you tag the AI bot, say BetMGM so the bet slip lands in the right sportsbook.
- Use it to compare odds across the best sports betting apps, even if you’re still planning to play the bet at BetMGM.
- Keep your plays inside supported bet types (spreads, totals, player props) for the smoothest pre-match flow.
- Before you place bets, re-check the line. The line moves don’t care if you were “about to click.”
