Who is behind it
BetMGM was set up in 2018 and is based in New Jersey. Neither parent owns it alone. Outside the US, MGM runs separate BetMGM sites in the UK, the Netherlands and Sweden through LeoVegas.
In 2026 People Inc made a non-binding bid for MGM Resorts. This led to talk of a BetMGM buyout, but nothing had closed when we checked.
Licence and what it means for you
BetMGM, LLC holds a Pennsylvania interactive gaming operator licence from the PGCB, issued under the Hollywood Penn National and Rivers Philadelphia certificates. The Pennsylvania site, casino.pa.betmgm.com, runs under it. Our sources also include the PGCB lists for online poker and sports wagering operators, because BetMGM offers all three products. The brand has separate state sites for New Jersey, Michigan and West Virginia, and an Ontario site registered with iGaming Ontario. For you this means the rules, complaint route and self-exclusion list depend on where you play. A Pennsylvania licence protects players in Pennsylvania only.
