BetMGM Ontario Review
Sportsbook & Casino
It's Time To Change The Game
BetMGM is an American online sportsbook & casino that launched in Ontario on April of 2022. It was among one of the first sportsbooks to obtain the IGO license, along with FanDuel and DraftKings. The platform is great and a must have for all bettors - it's slick, easy to use, and most importantly offers a wide-range of markets and options. Canada sports fans will also enjoy knowing that the Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky is a brand ambassador of BetMGM. They have signed a multi-year deal with NFL Canada.

The BetMGM app was clearly a top priority to the operator. It's intuitive, slick, quick, and overall a great betting app - which is good news for Ontario users! It's available on both IOS and Android and has a big recommendation from us. It maintains the same look and feel from the website, so it's a beautiful interface. If you like to play on the go, try it out!

Conclusion
Overall we were incredibly impressed with the amount of investment and effort the team at BetMGM have put into their platforms. The site easily competes with other popular sportsbooks on the market - it's intuitive, seamless, and slick. We were even more impressed by the usability of their mobile app. The majority of betting apps on the market are slow and wonky, but BetMGM's app really put them to shame. We recommend this operator for all users, whether you've been betting for a long time or just started - anyone would enjoy their time on this platform.
