What are Metropolitan Gaming all about?
Bonuses
Unfortunately, Metropolitan Gaming doesn’t offer a welcome bonus for new sportsbook bettors.
They have a new customer offer available for their casino/slots but nothing for sport.
Available sports
Metropolitan Gaming’s range of sports available is solid enough. You can bet on the usual popular sports from football to cricket, while esports and winter sport markets are also available if that’s your thing!
Their football coverage is pretty good and you can create your own bet builder. There’s more than enough team markets but there could be a few more player options. Player shots on target, player shots and player fouls would be welcomed.
I always like to check out the horse racing section and Metropolitan Gaming’s could use a little improvement. They have all the key meetings covered but race winner, forecasts and tricasts are the only markets available.
Place options and betting without markets would improve their section and it’s worth noting that when you go on a race on mobile, you’re instantly given a live greyhound video feed. Once it’s popped up you can click off it but it plays on every new horse racing page you go on which is slightly irritating!
Metropolitan Gaming has a dedicated in-play tab (at the bottom of the page on mobile) and their in-play section is one of the first things you see when you go on their homepage.
Pretty much everything is covered from football to esports. In-play events also have statistics and graphics to help bettors make informed decisions.
Metropolitan Gaming’s American sports coverage is also solid enough and you can create bet builders on the likes of the NFL and the NBA.
If you’re into esports, Metropolitan Gaming is worth checking out as they have a great array of markets. Call of Duty, Counter Strike, Dota2, Kings of Glory, League of Legends, Rainbow Six and Valorant all feature.
User experience and interface
The user experience on Metropolitan Gaming is good enough. The site is relatively basic with a white and grey colour scheme but it does the job.
At the top of their homepage you’re greeted with their price boosts for big upcoming events and below that you’ll see their in-play section.
If you click on ‘highlights’ next to their in-play section, it’ll show odds for upcoming events including sports like football, tennis, basketball and cricket.
Mobile and app compatibility
Metropolitan Gaming’s desktop and mobile sites are pretty much the same.
The only slight difference is where you’ll find the A-Z list of sports available. On mobile, there’s an ‘all sports’ tab on the top left of the screen which opens a drop-down menu. However, there’s more space on desktop so the whole list is just on the left of the screen.
At the bottom of the homepage on mobile there are also user-friendly tabs including home, in-play, my bets, betslip and more (boosts, favourites, bet builder and settings).
Metropolitan Gaming doesn't offer an app which isn’t ideal, and is a
VIP programmes and loyalty rewards
Metropolitan Gaming doesn't offer a loyalty programme for new or existing bettors. Their only promotions are geared towards their casino site.
Pros and cons of Metropolitan Gaming

| Great array of banking options compared to their UK sportsbook rivals |
