etMGM announced the expansion of its sports betting app into Washington, D.C. in partnership with the Washington Nationals.
The sports betting provider signed a multi-year, exclusive partnership with the Washington Nationals. The agreement also includes a retail BetMGM Sportsbook connected to Nationals Park, which will open later this year.
Under the agreement, the app becomes the only mobile sports betting app available at Nationals Park.
The BetMGM app is now available for download on both iOS and Android in Washington, D.C. While the app can be accessed throughout the District, due to local restrictions, to place mobile wagers, users will need to be within a two-block radius of Nationals Park.
Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM commented in a press release: “Launching in Washington, D.C. at Nationals Park sets the stage for our plans to expand BetMGM within the region, as we’ve already seen great success in Virginia. The Washington Nationals have been a fantastic partner, committed to innovating the in-stadium fan experience and we’re looking forward to opening our retail sportsbook at the stadium later this year.”
Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating Office of Lerner Sports Group noted: “As our official sports betting partner, BetMGM further enhances the greatest in-venue fan experience in Washington, D.C. through its state-of-the-art entertainment products and services. The BetMGM mobile app will enable our fans to engage with the game in new and exciting ways, while the BetMGM sportsbook connected to Nationals Park will provide Nationals fans and the D.C. community with a first-class gathering place to celebrate their passion for sports.”
BetMGM’s integration with MGM Resorts’ M life Rewards program allows Nationals fans the opportunity to redeem their gameplay for world-class experiences at MGM Resorts properties nationwide, including Borgata in New Jersey, Bellagio and MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and MGM National Harbor in Maryland, just across the river, highlighted the company in a press release.
Jorge Perez, President & COO, MGM National Harbor stated: “As a leader in delivering monumental experiences, today is a very exciting day for MGM National Harbor. This becomes the first of many offerings we are developing to seamlessly connect sports and entertainment across the DMV, providing fans with unique opportunities to interact with our world-class resort and casino.”
