BetMGM Casino Review Ontario 2024

BetMGM Casino Overview

When gambling laws changed back in 2022, BetMGM was one of the first brands to take Ontario by storm, bringing its unique collection of popular games, sports betting markets and online poker software to the province. The site is decked out in the brand's familiar black and gold, complete with roaring lion, which plays host to thousands of top tier games from some of the industry's leading developers. Players can enjoy the full suite of games via the website on all devices or download the iOS or Android app for access to the brand's best in a slimmed down version.

The best online slots at the site include Sugar Rush, Endless Treasure, Cash Eruption, Big Bass Bonanza, Fishin' Frenzy All Stars, Trojan Kingdom, Wolf Gold and Starlight Princess. There are also more than 50 jackpot slots to explore including Canada's own localised versions of the Mega Moolah progressive slots, Maple Moolah, such as Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II and Gold Factory.

Table Games

Around 90 games appear in the Tables category at BetMGM Casino, although a lot of them are live dealer games. Here you'll be able to choose from Quantum, Single Hand and Free Chip Blackjack, Premium, Turbo Multifire and Hotspot Roulette, Casino Hold'em, Three Card Stud and Pai Gow Poker, Baccarat, Craps and several variants of video poker.

Plenty of live game shows are also available here including Dream Catcher, Crazy Time, Cash or Crash, Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, Gonzo's Treasure Hunt and The Greatest Cards Show.

Sports Betting

BetMGM is well-known for offering competitive sports betting markets across the US, and since 2022 that opportunity has been given the green light in Ontario. The brand's sportsbook is clean, easy to use and features pre-match and live markets on a wide range of sports such as football, basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer, tennis and plenty more. Simply clicking your preferred markets is enough to add them to your betslip, which is folded away neatly at the bottom of the page, can be accessed in a single click and is your one-stop shop for setting up straights, parlays or even round robins.

User Experience BetMGM Casino

Generally, the BetMGM Casino website is very easy to navigate, with the brand's three main products - sports, casino and poker - clearly linked from the top of the page. A search box is located to the right, categories are usually displayed right underneath and the lobby allows you to jump into the best the site has to offer with minimal fuss.

It's certainly handy to have a search function at the site, especially with such a large collection of games, but we'd like to see a few more filtering options. Apart from that, we found the user experience to be smooth and enjoyable.

BetMGM Casino Mobile Casino

Players have various options when it comes to accessing BetMGM Casino on mobile devices. You can simply log in via the casino's website directly or you can download the iOS or Android app to your smartphone or tablet. You'll be able to access the brand's full suite of games via their website, but that's not the case for the app, which only grants access to around 400 or so games.

Visually, there's not much difference between the web-based and app versions of the offering, with the mobile casino version having been slimmed down a little for better performance on smaller screens.

Deposit and Withdraw at BetMGM Casino

BetMGM Casino doesn't offer the widest range of payment methods we've ever seen, but the options that are available are popular, so you shouldn't have any issues making deposits and withdrawals at the site. Your options include Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Interac and Apple Pay.

The site itself doesn't charge any fees for deposits or withdrawals, but you may be charged depending on your payment service provider. There's a minimum deposit at the site of CA$10 and a minimum withdrawal limit of CA$20. The maximum amount you can withdraw in one go from this online casino may vary depending on the payment method you use, but it generally hovers around the C$50,000 mark.

Withdrawal Speed

Withdrawals can take up to 5 working days to be processed at BetMGM Casino, which isn't the best, but we understand most withdrawal requests are completed faster than this. The site's General Terms of Service > Payments > Withdrawal section includes a helpful table detailing how long you can expect to wait for your withdrawal to arrive according to the different payment methods available.

Your first withdrawal request will trigger the player verification procedure, which requires you to send documentary evidence of your identity, which you must complete before your withdrawal can be approved.

Customer Support

Clicking on the Help & Contact button at the top of the page or the link in the footer takes you to the site's support hub, which is headed up by an extensive FAQS section that starts with the most popular articles on such topics as verifying your account and bonuses. The helpful collection is further categorised underneath that, making it an excellent resource if you run into difficulties. Further information can be found by clicking on the General Terms of Service link in the site footer.

If you need to contact the customer support team, you'll be pleased to know that their help is available to you on a 24/7 basis via live chat and email, both of which can be accessed when logged in.
