BetMGM Launches Sports Betting in Puerto Rico 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 11, 2022

BetMGM has officially launched sports betting in Puerto Rico, set at the Casino Del Mar at the La Concha Resort in San Juan. 

The company said it was now accepting wagers at the resort through 12 kiosks and five betting windows. 

A full-scale sports book will kick off at La Concha later this year, according to the company, along with a mobile betting app in Puerto Rico later this year. 

“This is a monumental day for BetMGM as it marks the launch of our first operation outside of the U.S. mainland,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. “Casino del Mar delivers exceptional guest experiences and is an ideal partner as we look to extend our brand in Puerto Rico.” 

Puerto Rico’s gaming sector has seen dramatic growth in the last year, headlined by the debut of the Caribbean’s first-ever Foxwoods casino at the iconic El San Juan resort. 

 “We are very excited to kick off sports betting at Casino del Mar through this important strategic alliance with BetMGM. In Puerto Rico, there is a wide base of sports fans who will now add the possibility of becoming winners to the excitement of their favorite sports games and matches.”
