Is the BetMGM casino app separate from the sportsbook app?
Yes. Apple and Google Play each list two BetMGM apps under one developer name. We read all four listings on 14 September 2026 and set them side by side.
Yes, the BetMGM casino app is separate from the sportsbook app. On the US App Store, BetMGM publishes ‘BetMGM - Sportsbook & Casino’ and ‘BetMGM Casino - Real Money’ as two listings; on US Google Play the same split appears as ‘BetMGM - Online Sports Betting’ and ‘BetMGM Casino - Real Money’. Two icons, two installs, one developer name.
Every figure below is what the four listings displayed when this desk read them on 14 September 2026; the counts drift daily, the two-app structure does not.
What do the four BetMGM store listings show?

Three things stand out. The two iOS binaries are within a third of a megabyte of each other, the near-match you see when two front doors sit on shared machinery. They sit in different Apple charts, #29 Sports and #49 Casino that day, a category placement rather than a ranking among sportsbooks. And both Android builds carry the same ‘Updated on’ date, 24 July 2026; the listings do not say the builds share a release train, and we did not open either package.
The footprints differ. The combined app’s Apple description says it ‘accepts bets’ in 25 jurisdictions, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia included; the Play sportsbook description lists 20. Both casino listings name New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and West Virginia. Those are descriptions as printed, which can lag the live map; we read no regulator’s register this run and claim no licence anywhere.
Does the BetMGM sportsbook app have casino games?
By its own account, yes. The Apple title is ‘Sportsbook & Casino’, and the Play sportsbook description opens with ‘BetMGM Sportsbook and Online Casino’. The reverse is not true: in the casino app’s Apple description as we read it, the games list runs slots, live dealer tables, blackjack, poker, roulette, craps, baccarat and virtual sports, and the word sportsbook does not appear in that text. The combined app is a superset on paper; the casino app is a casino app.
It is the shape this site found in the Borgata and BetMGM casino apps, two brands from one developer, and in Fanatics Sports & Casino, two casino front doors on one build number. The store rules that shape every casino app are the backdrop; BetMGM’s four listings are a clean example.
Why do the top results disagree on whether the BetMGM casino app is separate from the sportsbook app?
Mostly they do not answer it, and the one that does prints numbers we could not find. The highest-ranking review, on sailgp.com and dated 14 September 2026 by its own byline, correctly says BetMGM has separate casino and sportsbook apps, then gives the iOS app as 62.4 MB rated 4.6 and the Android app as 51 MB rated 4.2. None of the four live listings we read that day print those figures, and the review, in the text we could open, does not name the casino app.
Sports Betting Dime’s review, updated 4 September 2026, says BetMGM has ‘a single app that can be used to bet in all of the legal markets’ in which it operates; in context that means one sportsbook app in many states, and the same page has a casino app section. Neither, as we read them, puts the listings side by side, which is the whole answer to this query.
Questions people ask
Is the BetMGM Casino app free to download?
Both Apple listings display the price as Free, and both Google Play listings show a plain Install button with no price, as read on 14 September 2026. The download costs nothing; the product inside is real-money gambling, and the casino listing states that wagering requires being 21 or older and present in MI, NJ, PA or WV.
Do I have to be in a state where BetMGM Casino operates to download the app?
The listings answer the wagering question, not the download question. The Play casino listing says users must be 21 or older and present in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or West Virginia; the Apple listing says MI, NJ, PA and WV only. Neither states whether the store lets you install from elsewhere, and this desk did not test that.
Does BetMGM have a slots or blackjack app?
Not as a separate listing among the four this desk read. Slots and blackjack live inside BetMGM Casino - Real Money, whose Google Play description lists 450+ Slingo and slots games, 50+ jackpot slots and 14+ blackjack games. There is no slots-only or blackjack-only BetMGM app in this set of four.
The settings screen that matters
Two apps means two sets of limits: deposit and session controls set in one BetMGM install are worth checking in the other, because the listings do not say they carry across. Both Apple pages print the 1-800-GAMBLER line and a 21+ requirement. This site covers apps as software, not as places to win; 18+, availability varies by jurisdiction, and the deposit-limit screen is the first one worth opening.
