How BetMGM Gift Cards Work

Bettors can visit the TAPPP store locator to find the nearest sales outlet and purchase a Bet MGM gift card with cash for simple deposits or gift them to friends. Common sales outlets include Dollar General, Speedway, Sheetz, and Kum & Go.

After purchasing gift cards, bettors can redeem them by logging in to their BetMGM accounts, visiting the cashier, and selecting the “BetMGM Gift Card Option.” From there, users input the PIN number printed on the card to complete the transaction. BetMGM gift card deposits do not fail unless customers input the wrong PIN number or have exceeded their personal daily deposit limit.

BetMGM does not assess any fees for depositing via gift cards, and it instantly credits customers’ accounts with the funds. From there, bettors can immediately get to betting. The inclusion of a $10 bonus for every gift card should sweeten the deal, even for players who already have convenient deposit methods in place. The limited array of denominations ($25 and $50) could be a stumbling block for uptake among higher-volume bettors, but customers may purchase and redeem multiple gift cards to effectively make larger deposits.

BetMGM Gift Card Pros and Cons

BetMGM gift cards offer several advantages over other prepaid deposit methods like reloadable debit cards.

Most importantly, BetMGM gift card deposits are always successful. Prepaid debit cards from other issuers often fail when used to fund online sports betting due to internal company policies. In contrast, BetMGM expressly designed its gift cards for customers to fund their accounts and they never fail as a result.

BetMGM gift cards also offer the advantage of no fees, while other types of prepaid debit cards can cost upwards of $5.95 at the point of purchase. In fact, BetMGM doesn’t just charge zero fees, but it issues a $10 bonus to customers every time they redeem a gift card. Instead of paying money to deposit funds, BetMGM customers receive betting bonuses with every purchase.

Additionally, BetMGM gift cards provide a straightforward way for bettors to fund their accounts with physical cash. Retailers that sell BetMGM gift cards are ubiquitous, so most customers are no more than a few minutes away from turning the cash in their pockets into funds to bet with online.

The biggest disadvantage of BetMGM gift cards is that they aren’t as convenient as electronic deposit methods like credit cards, Venmo, and PayPal. Bettors must find a retailer, leave the house, and purchase their gift cards in person.

A second downside is that they aren’t available in every state where BetMGM offers online sports betting. Notable omissions include Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, and Tennessee.

BetMGM Gift Card Bonuses

BetMGM Sportsbook includes a $10 bonus with every gift card purchase. Bettors receive the bonus immediately after redeeming their gift cards and may begin using their bonuses to bet on sports.

Customers cannot withdraw their bonuses as cash, but they may cash out any winnings they earn with their bonuses after meeting a 5x wagering requirement on the bonus amount. In other words, bettors can withdraw their winnings after placing $50 worth of wagers. Bettors have seven days to clear each $10 bonus.

Alternatively, some BetMGM gift cards offer a $10 parlay boost instead of bonus funds. Each BetMGM Parlay Boost Card issues a 15% parlay boost token that customers may use on any parlay (maximum wager $10) with at least 3 legs and odds of +400 or longer. Bettors can claim as many parlay boost tokens as they wish by using Parlay Boost gift cards to fund their accounts, but they may only use one token per day. Unused tokens expire after 30 days.

More About BetMGM Gift Cards

Payment services provider TAPPP partnered with BetMGM in September 2021 and initially launched BetMGM Sportsbook gift cards in eight states. Their availability has expanded since then to most states where BetMGM is licensed to offer online sports betting.

TAPPP Founder & CEO Sandy Agarwal touted the partnership and gift cards in a press release issued at the time:

BetMGM is synonymous with sports betting and will now be ubiquitous in some of the largest retailers across the U.S. They are the perfect partner in our journey to make sports betting and iGaming more accessible. Expanding the available funding options for sports bettors along with providing the ability to share in the BetMGM experience through gifting perfectly aligns with TAPPP’s mission, to create more access and engagement for fans.

Maria Tomlinson, Head of Payments for BetMGM Sportsbook, added that customer feedback often centers around users wanting a simple and reliable way to fund their sports betting accounts:

Just in time for the start of football season, we’re thrilled to introduce an option for players to quickly and securely fund their BetMGM accounts while avoiding deposit failures.
