BetMGM Tennessee app off to a strong start

Since launching on November 1, the BetMGM Tennessee app has made a strong start in the state’s sports betting market.

Tennessee launched legal sports betting on November 1, 2020, after state legislators approved the Tennessee Sports Gaming Act in April 2019. The bill became law in July 2019, with the people of Tennessee then able to place legal wagers four months later.

The Volunteer State is in a unique position in the gambling space, as it is a unique online-only sports betting market. The Tennessee online sportsbooks do not have to partner with land-based casinos in the state to gain licensing. This means the upper bound of the market’s size at maturity is theoretically infinite, so Tennessee is expected to be a fiercely competitive state for years to come.

Currently, Tennessee sports bettors are able to place bets online at four sportsbooks – DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and Action 247. One of the standout online platforms for sports betting in the state is the BetMGM Tennessee app.

BetMGM is the online platform for Nevada’s renowned hotel and casino, the MGM. The brand is one of the most forward-thinking in the sports betting space and now operates in seven states – New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, Colorado, Nevada and Tennessee. The sportsbook is soon to launch in Michigan too.

BetMGM is the exclusive official partner of the Tennessee Titans so is generating a strong brand presence in the Volunteer State. The BetMGM Tennessee app itself is full of great weekly promotional offers like 100/1 touchdown specials and ‘Lion Boosts’ on specific sporting events.

Anyone who registers an account on the BetMGM Tennessee app will be eligible to receive a Risk-Free First Bet up to $500. Place your first bet at the sportsbook and if the bet loses, you’ll receive the amount of your wager back in free bets. It is a great welcome bonus from BetMGM Tennessee and should definitely be taken advantage of.
