BetMGM UK

BetMGM has become one of the most popular online sportsbooks in the US—now it’s available in the UK too. It’s collaborating with LeoVegas to take on the likes of Bet365, Ladbrokes, and William Hill. So how’s it doing from our perspective?

BetMGM UK does well in terms of markets, covering 35 sports at the time of this review. You can wager on everything from football and rugby to entertainment and esports. This bookmaker also has a decent live betting section with many daily betting opportunities.

The BetMGM Sports bonus isn’t massive at £40, but it only requires a £10 bet and has light terms and conditions. Our one wish is that this betting site would offer more promotions. The only other promo is a series of football prediction contests, where £1 million in prizes are on the line.

Another downside to this bookmaker is that it’s quick to limit winning bettors. This might not be the case if you’re successful, but it’s something to watch for.

Overall, though, we think BetMGM UK has enough positive aspects to be worth trying. It’s especially good if you want lots of markets and a low-roller bonus with friendly terms.

Extras & Features

This betting site offers a search bar to help you find specific markets. It also provides My Bets so you can keep track of your wagers more easily. Other BetMGM UK Sports features include live betting, live streaming, online casino games, and “Specials.” The latter refer to handpicked prop bets, such as the first football team to score in a match.

Odds

The BetMGM odds are slightly better than the average UK online sportsbook. We found that BetMGM can offer stronger odds on one side or the other of spreads and totals. Occasionally, though, this bookmaker is outdone by the average competitor on both sides. You’ll get reasonable prices here overall, but we also suggest shopping around before finalising your bet.

In-play / Live Betting

The live betting section at BetMGM UK is pretty good. It covers seven sports and offers hundreds of wagering opportunities at the time of our BetMGM UK Sports review. The in-play markets that we currently see include Aussie rules, basketball, cricket, football, Rugby League, table tennis, and tennis.

Sports Markets & Betting Types

Plenty of bet types are available here, such as 3-ways, totals, spreads, props, futures, halves, and accumulators. You’ll see the available types of wagers when selecting a market.

BetMGM UK excels with its sports selection, currently covering 35 markets. You’ll commonly find at least 30-35 sports available at any point in the year. Examples include football, cricket, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Aussie rules, American football, basketball, esports, horse racing, and politics.

Website Navigation & Layout

We were taken aback when first visiting this betting site. BetMGM features a massive banner of Hollywood star Chris Rock and random athletes on the landing page. However, we quickly bypassed this through a drop-down menu and found the sportsbook and other relevant info. Everything was smooth sailing after getting past the homepage.

Customer Support / Security / Licensing / Banking

You can reach customer service at this betting site 24/7 through live chat and email. We asked a question about the bonus terms and got a response from live chat in under a minute.

The website is protected by high-level encryption technology. We clicked the padlock near the address bar to verify this, finding that BetMGM UK has certification from DigiCert Inc.

BetMGM has a licence with the UK Gambling Commission, allowing it to legally serve this country. It also holds licences in over a dozen states in the US.

Banking options include Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. You must deposit at least £10 to start betting here—which also qualifies you for the welcome bonus.
