The Quick Verdict

Category Breakdown
| Category | Winner | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome Bonus | BetMGM | BetMGM up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses. Caesars' 10x 100% profit boosts on next wagers; different product, smaller absolute ceiling. |
| Loyalty Program | Tie | MGM Rewards and Caesars Rewards are the two most valuable loyalty programs in US sports betting. Pick the one tied to properties you actually visit. |
| Louisiana Retail | Caesars | Caesars runs Harrah's New Orleans and the Caesars Superdome counter; stronger Louisiana retail footprint than BetMGM's Amelia Belle and Beau Rivage partnerships. |
| Saints Coverage | Caesars | Caesars' Superdome naming rights make it the unofficial Saints sportsbook. |
| Mobile App | BetMGM | BetMGM's app is marginally faster and cleaner than Caesars', especially during high-traffic NFL Sundays. |
| Bonus Flexibility | BetMGM | BetMGM's bonus bets are split into 5 equal tokens; Caesars' boosts are capped at $25 stake per boost, more restrictive in practice. |
