A giant in the betting industry for decades, MGM isn’t a company to rest on their laurels. They launched BetMGM in order to enter the online sports betting industry when it was legalized in the USA in 2018. In 2021, BetMGM became one of the first major US online sportsbooks to branch out into dedicated horse racing wagering, launching its racing app in Ohio in October and in Florida and Louisiana in December.
Designed in partnership with NYRA Bets, the BetMGM horse racing app is on par with all the top online horse betting sites already available in the USA. NYRA Bets, owned by The New York Racing Association, Inc., powers the wagering. You can use the BetMGM horse racing betting app in Ohio, Florida and Louisiana. A person must be at least 21 years of age to place any wager with the BetMGM horse racing app.

Currently, no welcome bonuses are offered by BetMGM for horse racing on its racing site, and the landing page doesn’t show a promo code. The App Store description mentions a “Bet $200, Get $200” new-user offer, but BetMGM doesn’t publish terms for it on its own racing site, so we can’t confirm it. Check the promotions section in the app before you deposit.
The app is also part of the NYRA Rewards program. For every dollar wagered on racing from New York state tracks, players will receive two rewards points. These can be exchanged for bet credits. The app description also lists reload bonuses, boosted rebates, loyalty promos and insurance bets for existing customers.

The BetMGM horse racing app offers live racing from over 200 thoroughbred, harness, and quarter horse tracks. Some of the top available tracks include Saratoga, Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita, Keeneland, Belmont, Aqueduct, Del Mar, Oaklawn Park, Fair Grounds, and Los Alamitos. International racing is also available from countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Players can also watch streaming video right from the BetMGM horse racing app. Simply select the video icon to access live video for that track either on the track’s listing or on the track program that has been selected.
To watch live racing video, a player starts by logging into their BetMGM horse racing account. Next, select the track and then select the video icon to the right of the track name.
Via the BetMGM horse racing platform, bettors can wager on straight bets such as win, place and show. There’s also win/place (WP) in which bettors wager a win and place bet in one bet, win/show (WS) in which bettors play a win and show bet in one bet and place/show (PS) in which a bettor places a place and show bet in one bet. Win/place/show (WPS) wagering, also known as an across the board bet, combines a win, place and show play into one bet.
As well, they provide access to exotic wagering offerings that include exactas (top two finishers in a race), trifectas (top three finishers in a race), quinella (top two finishers in a race in any order), superfecta (top four finishers in a race), super high 5 (top five finishers in a race), daily doubles (winners of consecutive races on the same race card), Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, Pick 6 and Pick 7 selections.
Winning tickets are paid based on the full track odds on all winning bets.
When it comes time to make a deposit to a player’s account, banking options available through the BetMGM horse racing app include Visa, Discover and Mastercard debit and credit cards. Other payment methods accessible include instant bank transfer, bank wire transfer, online banking, PayPal, PayNearMe, the VIP Preferred e-check, the BetMGM Play+ card.
As far as withdrawals are concerned, players may utilize PayPal, the VIP Preferred e-check, or the BetMGM Play+ card to withdraw funds from their account.

Players can track their bets made by checking “My transactions” in their account. They can also track their betting history under the tab “My bets.”
By selecting the Results/Replays icon in the BetMGM racing app menu players can view all race results and watch the replay of any race.
No. BetMGM doesn’t publish a promo code for its horse racing app, and its racing landing page doesn’t list a welcome offer. Every BetMGM promotion is subject to qualification and eligibility requirements, so check the app’s promotions tab after you sign up.
