US – MGM launches real money online in New Jersey
By Phil - 7 August 2017
MGM Resorts International, the world’s leading entertainment company, announced today its playMGM.com platform now offers real-money online gaming in New Jersey.
The launch of two MGM Resorts-branded gaming sites – playMGMcasino.com and playMGMpoker.com – represents the company’s efforts in the real-money online gaming space which became legal in New Jersey in 2013.
“We are thrilled to be entering the online gaming landscape in New Jersey with the expansion of our playMGM.com platform to include both casino and poker games,” said Corey Sanders, Chief Operating Officer of MGM Resorts International. “The ability to effectively bring Las Vegas to New Jersey via an online experience is an exciting undertaking, especially as we continue to develop our presence on the East Coast with the recent acquisition of Borgata, the opening of MGM National Harbor and the pending 2018 opening of MGM Springfield in Massachusetts.”
MGM Resorts, in partnership with GVC Holdings, will present players with two distinct online gaming options; playMGMcasino.com which will boast more than 200 online slots and table games such as blackjack, roulette, craps, and video poker; and playMGMpoker.com offering lucrative daily and weekly tournament guarantees along with a variety of sit and go tournaments and cash games. As an extra incentive for new customers, playMGM.com will offer a welcome package to anyone who signs up for a new account and becomes a verified player. playMGMcasino.com participants will receive $25 FREEPLAY and 100 percent deposit match up to $2000 FREEPLAY (20x Wager Requirement), while playMGMpoker.com participants will receive a $25 bonus ($10 Online Cash and $15 Online Tournament Dollars) upon sign up along with a deposit match of 100 percent on up to $2000 in restricted cash.
Both playMGMcasino.com and playMGMpoker.com will compliment Borgata’s platform and sit on the GVC technology stack, offering desktop as well as mobile gaming applications (apps) available for download on iOS and Android devices.
