BetMGM opens retail sportsbook at Nationals Park

BetMGM Sportsbook Officially Opens at Nationals Park

BetMGM and the Washington National revealed on Monday that the gambling operator would be opening the first retail sportsbook linked to a Major League Baseball stadium and accepting bets year-round. Via the new facility, players can watch events and participate in sports wagering.

Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, said they are “constantly pushing the boundaries to deliver sports fans unique experiences,” adding that is precisely what they have achieved with the new BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park.

Greenblatt said that whether fans are attending baseball games or looking for somewhere to watch other sporting events, the new BetMGM sportsbook at Nationals Park will become one of the most exciting “sports viewing environments in the District.”

Players can bet all year round

The sportsbook connected to Nationals Park is accessible from N Street SE. When bettors step inside, they will be greeted with a space of 4,000-square feet with 40 big-screen televisions that will feature live odds boards that constantly update. There is a maximum capacity of 187 and dining and beverage options.

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

Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating Officer of Lerner Sports, said the new sportsbook is the latest method in which “we are providing our fans with the best experiences” in entertainment and sports. Gottlieb added that the sportsbook instantly becomes one of the “premier venues for both the savvy bettor and casual fan” to watch a range of different sporting events upon its opening.

Mobile App for D.C Players

The launch of the retail sportsbook follows the BetMGM Sportsbook mobile app that launched in D.C. in June 2021. Using the mobile app, customers can make a bet within a two-block radius of Nationals Park.

The launch of the retail sportsbook is the latest move in a multi-year partnership between the Nationals and BetMGM. The new BetMGM retail sportsbook is in the same area that used to be Center Field Social, located directly across Center Field Plaza from the Nationals Team Store.

Players will not be able to access the sportsbook during home games that are in progress but can still use the app. The sportsbook is open seven days a week, and the opening hours are 11:00 a.m. – Midnight ET.
