BetMGM Colorado Review

Of all the new players in the sports betting scene in Colorado, BetMGM is one company that already has plenty of experience in the gambling world. With a number of world-class resorts to their name, they now take on the job of carving out an equally impressive reputation as an online sportsbook.

Once again, it’s time for Colorado-Betting.com to take a look at whether BetMGM delivers the goods. We’ll be considering everything from promotions to payment methods, and user experience to odds comparisons in this comprehensive breakdown.

BetMGM on the desktop display looks great, with its black and gold layout. Everything is laid out nicely, and easy to find as well. However, there was one major issue. Every few minutes, the page would switch to a “Service Connection Lost” screen. There is a “Retry” button on that page, which when clicked, would reload the page again. 

That said, the issue of persistent disconnection is a real, worrisome letdown. Also, there was an issue with the desktop expanding menus as they wouldn’t show properly, so you couldn’t see all options available.

Fortunately, there were no such issues when downloading the official BetMGM app. We used the Android version available on the Google Play store, however, there is an iOS version of the app available on Apple’s App Store.

The layout was similar to that of the website, easy to navigate, and well laid out. It was extremely responsive, and placing wagers on your favorite sports is straightforward. Just a few taps here and there, and away you go, as long as you have funds in your account. If not, depositing is just as easy on the app too.

There are a number of payment methods available for both deposits and withdrawals at BetMGM. Here is all you need to know about depositing funds:

And here is everything you require for making a withdrawal, including how long each method will take:

Whilst a provider can limit your deposit amounts, you can also limit yourself too. So say you have a credit card that allows you to deposit $2,000, but you don’t want things to get out of control. You can set your own limit, either daily, weekly, or monthly. Preventing you from falling into the problem gambling trap.

It should also be noted, that whilst there is no limit on withdrawal amounts, amounts larger than $50,000 may take more time to withdraw.

To get help or support, you’re first asked what kind of help you require. Depending on what that is, you will be pointed to several different contact methods. If it’s a general inquiry about something, you’ll be asked to email and get a response in up to 48 hours. 

If you’re reporting potential fraud, then there is support available to raise concerns 24/7. And finally, if you suggest that you have a problem with gambling, they will support you and signpost you to places that can help.

Whilst the offers for newcomers and existing members show promise, their website and mobile site left something to be desired because you simply could not use them. They may well just be facing temporary difficulties, but as a prolific brand with an established presence, they could at least have put up a warning message temporarily, to let bettors know.

They do, however, redeem themselves with more payment methods than most, including a rare sighting of Apple Pay. Plus, they offer some fantastic odds to go with that. So, in conclusion, they have promised to be one of the best, but their website could use some real improvements.
