What you need to know about BetMGM if you want to partner up with them in Nevada

The legality of online gambling in Nevada – what’s the current situation?

Nevada is an intriguing state as it has a complex approach to online and mobile gambling. Here is the basic on the current legal situation in the “Gambling Capital of the World”:

• Mobile Sports Betting is legal and thriving. Residents can place bets on sports via mobile apps using licensed operators only if they are physically within the Nevada state borders.
• Online casino games such as slots, roulette, and blackjack are not allowed. The state wants to protect its brick-and-mortar casino industry.
• Online poker is the only online casino-style game currently legal in NV. You can still play against others if they are located within the state or within a district that has a compact with Nevada, but such a compact currently does not exist.
• The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) regulates and oversees all forms of online gambling in the state and ensures fair play.
• Mobile gambling platforms must use geolocation technology to verify that players are physically within Nevada borders when placing bets.
• The minimum age for taking part in any form of gambling in Nevada, both online and in-person is 21.

Updates for Nevada Affiliates: BetMGM Affiliate Program changes

Nevada online gambling regulations are complex and restrictive. That’s why NV online casinos are not to be envied. But what does facts that BetMGM Nevada Sportsbook App has successfully migrated technology providers into its standard BetMGM Sportsbook App mean for affiliates?

BetMGM Affiliates need to reply with “CONFIRM” to their account representatives that they are clear on the promotional guidelines and the gambling platform can approve them to begin promotions. Then, BetMGM will be able to open their affiliate program to NV players. Keep in mind that:

• There is no licensing for continuous payment authority payments (CPA payments)
• Revenue Share is not allowed at this time
• You need to apply for Nevada on your affiliate dashboard. Do that using “My States” in your dashboard for BetMGM to approve your account.
• Until your account is approved by BetMGM representatives you will not receive credit for any new players.
• Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Nevada will be on the deposit tier system.
• There will be NO acquisition promotions for new players in Nevada state.

Worth noting is that BetMGM NV will be on a separate account from BetMGM in other states. Due to legal regulations in Nevada, players who already have a BetMGM account will still be required to visit one of the following 10 BetMGM Sportsbooks in Las Vegas:

• MGM Grand
• Park MGM
• Bellagio
• The Cosmopolitan
• Mandalay Bay
• ARIA
• Luxor
• New York, New York
• The Mirage
• Excalibur

No mobile web or desktop accessibility to the BetMGM Sportsbook in Nevada exists at the moment according to Silver State laws and regulations. That’s why players can only be tracked to their accounts through bonus codes if they are not existing users.
