BetMGM NY: When Will The Sports Betting App Launch?

BetMGM NY will be a major player in the state when legal NY online sports betting finally goes live for all residents.

BetMGM NY will soon become a reality. Early November 2021 revealed which sportsbooks would enter the NY online sports betting market as soon as the state goes live, and the sportsbook and sports betting app associated with the famed MGM Resorts International is one of the approved operators.

The state announced its list of approved operators on Nov. 9, 2021:

• FanDuel Sportsbook
• DraftKings Sportsbook
• Caesars Sportsbook
• BetMGM
• PointsBet
• BetRivers
• WynnBET
• Bally Bet
• Resorts World

Along with some of the usual suspects such as FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook, BetMGM brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. It’s a good thing, too, considering the sheer size of New York’s projected betting handle once the state officially turns the page.

Those currently located in an already legal online sports betting state can take advantage of BetMGM’s $1,000 risk-free bet offer today.

 

When Will BetMGM NY Become Available?

Early projections for when NY online sports betting would launch revolved around Super Bowl 56. If not the Super Bowl, early 2022 remains the best bet for when New York will make online sports gambling a reality.

Interestingly, sports betting is already legal in the state of New York. However, that betting must be done in-person at one of the licensed brick-and-mortar locations that house a sportsbook.

Unlike FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook, BetMGM does not yet have a partnership with one of the physical New York locations.

BetMGM Player Limits & Responsible Gambling

Of course, responsible sports gambling remains of the utmost importance for not only BetMGM but for ESNY as well.

The colorful logo located in the top-right corner of the website is where BetMGM lays out its responsible gambling message. How BetMGM encourages the identification of a potential sports betting problem is something that deserves applause.

What is problem gambling?

Like many other addictions, compulsive betting is rooted in an uncontrollable urge and obsession, which if left unchecked, can lead to financial hardship.

Unfortunately, one of the most common symptoms of this disease is deception; problem gamblers will go to great lengths to hide the problem, not just from others, but also from themselves. As a result, detection can come late after adverse consequences are revealed and with dire consequences.

The warning signs:

• Sacrificing time from work or family in order to gamble
• Repeated inability to stop or control betting
• Borrowing money to gamble or to pay off previous bets
• Use of gambling as an emotional escape
• Self-neglect or neglect of family due to gambling
• Lying about time or money lost to betting
• Gambling more in order to recoup previous losses (“chasing”)
• Obtaining money for gambling by selling/pawning personal property
• Feelings of hopelessness, depression or suicide
