BetMGM Opens Retail Sportsbook at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.

BetMGM and the Washington National announced Monday that BetMGM would be opening the first retail sportsbook that is connected to a Major League Baseball stadium and will be open year-round.

Players can watch events and engage in sports betting.

"We're constantly pushing the boundaries to deliver sports fans unique experiences, and that's just what we've done with the new BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park," Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, said in a news release.

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

Players Have Access Year Round

The sportsbook connected to Nationals Park is publicly accessible from N Street SE. Once inside, players will experience an atmosphere that is 4,000-square feet and features 40 big-screen television with live odds boards that constantly update, a maximum capacity of 187 and full-service beverage and dining options.

To make wagers, players can go directly to a cashier at any of the six betting windows or use one of the mobile kiosks found throughout the facility.

"The BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park represents the newest way in which we are providing our fans with the best experiences in sports and entertainment. Upon its opening, the sportsbook immediately becomes one of the neighborhood's premier venues for both the savvy bettor and casual fan to watch the top events in an upscale and electric atmosphere,” Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating Officer of Lerner Sports, said in the release.

Mobile App Limited in Reach for D.C. Players

The launch of this retail sportsbook complements the BetMGM Sportsbook mobile app that launched in D.C. in June 2021. With this mobile app, players can make a wager within a two-block radius of Nationals Park.

The launch of this retail sportsbook is the latest development in a multi-year exclusive partnership between the Nationals and BetMGM.

Greenblatt would go on to say, “The D.C.-Maryland-Virginia region is a great look into how we're seeking to expand the BetMGM platform with a variety of unique experiences for our customers. They can utilize the BetMGM mobile app anywhere in Virginia, can visit the newly opened retail sportsbook at MGM National Harbor in Maryland, and now in D.C., they can access the first sportsbook connected to a Major League Baseball stadium. We've established great partnerships that allow us to bring these one-of-a-kind touchpoints to the DMV."

The new BetMGM retail sportsbook will be found in the same area that used to be Center Field Social, which is located directly across Center Field Plaza from the Nationals Team Store.

This sportsbook will not be accessible during games that are in progress, but players may still use the mobile app.

The BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park is open seven days a week with operating hours of 11:00 a.m. - Midnight ET.
