MGM is the parent company of the Borgata, which became the first casino in Atlantic City to offer a sportsbook.

The PlayMGM app is only available for Android users, whereas the Draftkings app is only available to those on iPhone. There is also no web-based browser implementation.

The app can be accessed for placing bets anywhere within New Jersey's borders by residents and those visiting the state. Payouts can be sent out-of-state. The apps will compete with several dozen internationally-licensed sports betting sites for the time being.

The company offered this description of the new sports betting app:

“The playMGM NJ Sports app features a full range of U.S. and selected international sports with customers able to sign-up, deposit and withdraw cash directly from their mobile devices from any location in New Jersey. The sports-betting app features a single wallet that enables existing and new customers to view their total account balance and easily apply available funds to their choice of sports-betting, casino or poker products.”
