BetMGM has debuted its sports wagering application in Puerto Rico, becoming the inaugural provider to present mobile sports wagering on the island. This app enhances BetMGM’s current physical sportsbook located at the Casino del Mar within the La Concha Resort in San Juan.
Puerto Rico granted legal status to sports wagering in February 2022. BetMGM’s entry into this market aligns with its continuous expansion throughout North America.
The application provides a comprehensive selection of wagering choices, encompassing pre-game, in-play, futures, and multiple-selection wagers. For registration, individuals in Puerto Rico are required to physically present identification papers at the BetMGM Sportsbook situated within the San Juan resort.
Sigfrido De Jesús, overseeing the Casino del Mar, praised the launch, asserting that it establishes Puerto Rico as a frontrunner in the sports wagering sector and will yield favorable outcomes for the Treasury Department’s financial intake.
The Casino del Mar and government officials are excited to collaborate with a leading brand like BetMGM to investigate promising new opportunities in the gaming industry.
“BetMGM is truly privileged to be the inaugural provider of mobile sports wagering in Puerto Rico,” stated Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of BetMGM. “Our partnership with regional authorities and the Casino del Mar enables us to deliver a product that is secure, reliable, and purely entertaining, providing residents of the island with an accessible method to engage in betting from any location.”
