US – WynnBet granted market access in New York
By Phil - 9 November 2021
WynnBet, the premier online sports betting and casino app from the global leader in luxury hospitality, Wynn Resorts, announced on Monday it has obtained market access in New York for online sportsbook operations. New York represents the 19th jurisdiction in a rapidly growing footprint of states in which WynnBET has secured varying degrees of market access.
WynnBET submitted a bid to the New York State Gaming Commission for online sportsbook operations in August as part of a consortium of operators that are partnered with the Oneida and St. Regis Mohawk compacted tribes.
“We’re excited that the New York State Gaming Commission has approved our request for application for online sports betting,” Wynn Interactive CEO Craig Billings said. “New Yorkers represent a significant portion of the Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Boston Harbor databases, and we look forward to giving those customers more ways to earn and use Wynn Rewards. We also look forward to meeting and engaging with new customers in the state via WynnBET.”
WynnBET Sportsbook is currently available in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Tennessee and Virginia. In addition, WynnBET currently has varying degrees of market access to 19 states covering approximately 50% of the U.S. population and is in negotiations to obtain access in six additional states, which would result in WynnBET’s footprint covering approximately 77% of the U.S. adult population.
