The BetMGM Kentucky app will soon arrive as part of the legal online sports betting party set to hit the state in late September. As one of a handful of apps slated to become instantly available on Sept. 28, BetMGM is offering eager sportsbook players the chance to sign up early and claim $100 in bonus bets. Widely regarded as one of the top tier betting options in a number of other markets, BetMGM has its sights sets on a fast start in Kentucky, and in order to accomplish this, it has become the fourth app to offer a pre-registration bonus.

No deposit will be necessary to claim the $100 bonus, as prospective users must simply provide some general registration information before returning to the app following its launch to play the bonus.

The BetMGM Kentucky App Explained
Assuming all boxes are checked and everything goes smoothly, Kentucky sports fans will have their first opportunity to wager ahead of the NFL Week 4 game between the Lions and Packers. Three days later, they will have their first full NFL Sunday, while college football and Major League Baseball also fill up the schedule.
In other words, the BetMGM Kentucky app will arrive on the scene right in the thick of one of the best times of year for sports fans.
BetMGM consistently ranks among the best apps in legal sports betting markets, and there are a few key reasons for its success. Perhaps most notably, BetMGM is an established brand in the gaming space dating back to a decades-long run as one of the most recognizable names in the casino and betting industry. That familiarity helps breed comfort in a space where sometimes customers enter with some questions:
Is this safe? Is the app legitimate? Can my money be trusted?
As is the case with other approved apps in Kentucky, BetMGM is held to an extremely strict set of standards and guidelines, assuring that players will receive winning wagers and that deposits and withdraws are guaranteed.
The other highlight in this sense is that the BetMGM Kentucky app offers new users quality incentives like $100 deposit-free bonus bets during pre-registration, which means that players get something for essentially nothing — other than about two minutes of time.
What to Expect at Launch
It’s all about competition, and that competition is expected to intense during the early run of KY sports betting. The BetMGM Kentucky app figures to be in the mix with Bet365, DraftKings, and FanDuel as some of the most popular options to initially hit the market.
As for the self-proclaimed “King of Sportsbooks,” anticipate daily odds boosts and access to a number of different betting markets ahead of NFL Week 4 and college football Week 5 games.
