So live betting on the fly is here. No friends required.

Yes Iscfa, it was the CJ Cup playing at Shadow Creek in Vegas instead of South Korea due to Covid back in October. BetMGM (an MGM company and app) was one of the major sponsors and was promoting their app. I kept thinking about FDM and the potential while watching the golf and how it could play out in an eSports event, or any other sport. Microbetting would be fun while watching NHL / NFL / PGA / MLB / NBA and any soccer game globally..
BetMGM’s parent company, MGM Resorts International, has been known for its gambling expertise in the US for more than 30 years. The company expanded into the sports betting industry in July 2018 when it partnered with the UK gambling operator, GVC Holdings. The two sides formed a joint venture called Roar Digital in January 2019.
Together, they launched the BetMGM Sportsbook app in the Garden State in August 2018. Also, the online sportsbook helps service the retail-based Borgata Casino in Atlantic City. The West Virginia and Indiana sportsbooks went live in January 2020. Colorado’s version came online in May 2020.
To expand its brand, MGM is partners with several professional sports leagues, the NBA, Major League Baseball, and the NHL.
