Washington D.C. sports bettors have to wait a little longer for BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook to go live in the District.
The two betting apps will soon join FanDuel in Washington D.C., but they’re still waiting for final regulatory approvals, which includes D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser signing the FY 2025 budget into law. Both apps hoped to launch Monday, and BetMGM canceled an event at Nationals Park planned for Monday’s expected launch.
“The mayor has not signed the official documentation yet,” BetMGM’s director of public relations, Jennifer Arapoff, told Sports Handle via email. “Once that happens, we will have to follow procedure to test and then go live.”
