In a move that might change how the casino world does business, BetMGM married its digital points with MGM Rewards, the loyalty program of MGM Resorts International. The integration bridges the gap from online gaming to lavish experiences on land and offers gamblers rewards, flexibility, and value as never before. To avid gamers and casino aficionados, the newly unified program opens more avenues than just those of sheer convenience toward heightened play and lavish perks.

What’s behind the BetMGM-MGM Rewards integration?

BetMGM’s digital points program has long been a hit among online casino players, thanks to benefits like free bets and bonuses. By combining forces with MGM Rewards—already a favorite for visitors to iconic resorts like the Bellagio and Aria in Las Vegas—BetMGM has taken loyalty to a whole new level.

Here’s why this is a game-changer: for the first time, players can earn and redeem points seamlessly across BetMGM’s online platform and MGM’s 20+ brick-and-mortar resorts across the U.S. Online gamers can now indulge in the luxury once reserved for high rollers at land-based casinos, while traditional players are invited to explore BetMGM’s robust digital offerings. This integration effectively unites two worlds under one rewarding system.

Overview of how the unified program works

The integration not only simplifies loyalty tracking but also amplifies earning potential. Here are the highlights.

One rewards system

Whether you’re spinning slots on the BetMGM app or enjoying a fine meal at MGM Grand, all activities now feed into a single rewards balance. Players earn BetMGM Rewards Points and Tier Credits, which are merged into their MGM Rewards account.

Improved redemption options

Digital points now convert to offline perks, ranging from free hotel stays to dining credits, show tickets, and even spa treatments. For instance, an online poker session or two could mean a free weekend getaway at an MGM resort.

Tier-based benefits

As players accumulate Tier Credits, they ascend through MGM Rewards’ loyalty tiers, unlocking perks like priority check-ins, room upgrades, and access to VIP events.

This streamlined system ensures that whether you’re gaming online or enjoying a night out at a resort, every interaction adds value to your loyalty journey.

How to earn BetMGM Rewards Points?

You can earn BetMGM Rewards Points through a variety of means but primarily through activity on the BetMGM platform and at MGM Resorts properties. Here's how:

  • Online casino play: Play online on BetMGM on slots, table games, or live dealer games. The more you play, the more points you rack up.
  • Sports betting: The company also offers wagering on all sports events via their online sportsbook BetMGM. Every wager goes towards filling up your Rewards Points, where increased points upgrade your loyalty reward level.
  • Online poker: Have fun playing poker games and tournaments at BetMGM. In return, consistent playing guarantees one a continuous supply of both Rewards Points and Tier Credits.
  • MGM Resorts activities: This includes but is not limited to overnight stays, dining, entertainment, and shopping at MGM Resorts properties. Earn Tier Credits with the ability for integration​ into the rewards profile as a whole.

These are different-earning points, pending the activity, redeemable against free bets, cashback, or other luxury experiences at MGM Resorts, such as food and accommodations.

What this means for players

The integration is a win-win for everyone. 

For online casino players 

BetMGM regulars now gain access to an expanded suite of perks. Every dollar spent online—whether in the casino, sportsbook, or poker room—now carries more weight, with rewards spanning from free play to exclusive experiences like Cirque du Soleil tickets or gourmet dining.

For land-based casino guests

Fans of MGM’s iconic resorts have an enticing reason to try BetMGM’s online platform. Linked accounts ensure players keep earning points and Tier Credits even when away from physical casino locations.

How to make the most of the new BetMGM Rewards program

Getting started with the updated system is straightforward:

  1. Sign up or link your accounts: If you’re already a member of MGM Rewards or BetMGM, you can link your accounts for seamless points tracking. New players can join the loyalty program when signing up on the BetMGM platform.
  2. Start earning: Place bets online, enjoy table games at an MGM property, or even spend on non-gaming activities like hotel stays or dining—every dollar contributes to your rewards balance.
  3. Redeem and enjoy: Use your points for online perks like free bets or aim for something grander, such as a VIP concert experience or a stay at MGM’s flagship resorts in Las Vegas.

To maximize your rewards, consider focusing on Tier Credits. Climbing the loyalty ladder not only enhances your MGM Rewards experience but also unlocks exclusive benefits, such as private concierge services and priority access to MGM’s top-tier amenities​.

The future of loyalty programs

BetMGM’s integration with MGM Rewards is more than just a loyalty update—it’s a reimagining of how online and offline gaming experiences can work together. This kind of holistic program is likely to set a trend in the gaming industry, where the lines between digital platforms and physical destinations are becoming increasingly blurred.

For players, the message is clear: BetMGM and MGM Rewards aren’t just offering a loyalty program—they’re offering a lifestyle upgrade. Whether you’re chasing jackpots on your phone or sipping cocktails by the Bellagio fountains, every moment now feels a little more rewarding.

Crucial Compliance takes BetProtect under its wing | Founders will be involved in future development

It’s not unusual to see successful companies buy out small businesses with potential. Owners who get tired of running their business often sell their company and seek either a full or partial exit. The big dogs typically do so for their own game and only keep the original founders on board if the brand is sold for a lower acquisition price. However, companies like Crucial Compliance operate on a more heart-to-heart level. At the beginning of April, the industry-leading compliance specialist company acquired a father and son based brand called BetProtect in order to combat gambling addictions, while also maintaining ties with the duo founders.

Nevada Gaming Board updated annual slot hold reports | recent data from UNVL

While there’s no way to predict a lucky combination on slot machines in casinos, there is a process by which gamblers can determine which operators provide the highest opportunities. Nevada Gaming Control Board released reports this late June displaying slot hold percentages in individual state’s jurisdictions. The new data shows numbers from 2004, all the way up to 2021. The annual slot hold percentages are a useful tool in terms of strategizing and choosing to gamble at a jurisdiction that has the best winning chances.
