The Washington Nationals’ stadium is officially home to the first sportsbook at a Major League Baseball (MLB) venue. The BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park opened on Monday, offering guests access to premium sports betting services on site at the stadium.

The sportsbook overlaps with the BetMGM app, which launched in Washington, D.C. in June 2021. Bettors can wager on the app within a two-block radius of the stadium.

“Whether fans are attending baseball games or looking for a place to watch any sporting event,” Greenblatt said, “the BetMGM sportsbook at Nationals Park is bound to be one of the most engaging sports viewing environments in the District.”

BetMGM and the Washington Nationals first signed a partnership deal in January 2021, announcing the upcoming sportsbook for the stadium. Fans will find the new sportsbook is located in the former Center Field Social, across Center Field Plaza from the team store.

Teaming up with the PGA Tour

In addition to Major League Baseball, BetMGM is spreading its sports betting product to other leagues, including golf. In December 2021, the company announced an extension of its partnership deal with the PGA Tour through 2024.

With the extension, BetMGM continues to provide odds on the digital platforms of the PGA Tour. The sportsbook plans to offer continual odds for the PGA website on its player pages and leaderboards.

Upon signing the deal, BetMGM chief revenue officer Matt Prevost stated that the PGA Tour is a fantastic partner, and the company looks forward to continuing its relationship. Since teaming up with the tour, BetMGM has seen an increase in players betting on golf, and they are excited to be the exclusive odds provider for the tour from now on.
