BetMGM and the Washington Nationals, as part of their exclusive sports gambling partnership, announced on Monday the opening of a retail sportsbook at Nationals Park.

The facility is being dubbed “the first retail sportsbook connected to a Major League Baseball stadium.” The sports bar/book is open year-around, seven days a week.

“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,” said Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, in a statement. “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.”

Gamblers can place wagers directly with cashiers at six betting windows or at kiosks.

“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,” said Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating Officer of Lerner Sports, the group behind the MLB franchise.

The 4,000-square foot retail sportsbook follows MGM launching its sports betting app in Washington, D.C. in June 2021. The platform is ring-fenced to the jurisdiction.
