BetMGM Opens Baseball Season With $50,000 Grand Slam Jackpot

BetMGM is bringing in the MLB season with new features for patrons. Among the new features include a massive $50,000 Grand Slam Jackpot contest. Customers who wager at least $10 on a player prop wager for home runs will automatically be entered in this contest. Wagers must be placed every Friday through Sunday for the contest.

If bettors wagered on a player to hit a home run and that player’s home run is a Grand Slam, they will share $50,000 in bonus bets with anybody else that made the same bet. Join BetMGM today and make sure you don’t miss out on this major offer.

BetMGM Welcome Bonus

First-time bettors can claim this welcome offer, then grant up to $1,500 in bonus bets back to bettors on their first wager if it results in a loss. This is essentially insurance on the bet, allowing bettors a redo on BetMGM if they lose. Bettors would need to wager and lose $1,500 in order to claim the full $1,500 in bonus bets.

Bonus bets at BetMGM expire after seven days. Bettors would need to use the bonuses before they expire. Otherwise, they forfeit the offer. Bonus bets can only be used at BetMGM and cannot be withdrawn for cash funds. Winnings from wagers placed with bonus bets do not pay the same as cash wagers. This is because the value of the bonus stake is not included in the final pay.

New BetMGM MLB Features

Alongside the Grand Slam Jackpot contest, BetMGM is also pushing the King of the Dingers feature. This feature integrates Angstrom into the BetMGM app, giving the most “extensive markets for home runs” for bettors. Bettors can access this feature for all aspects of homerun betting, including live in-game wagering.

This feature would be a major help addition for bettors to pair with the BetMGM $50,000 Grand Slam Jackpot contest. MLB betting at BetMGM brings fans to an extensive library of options. This new feature adds another element for bettors to win big through baseball betting this season.

Bettors will also be able to live-stream select MLB games directly on the BetMGM app. Patrons can even partake in live streaming directly through the app while streaming those select games.
