Caesars Entertainment started August off the right way.
On August 2, the gaming giant went live in Wyoming with its Caesars Sportsbook mobile app. On August 3, the company announced a multi-year partnership with the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA.
Wyoming now becomes the 24th state or jurisdiction to offer the mobile sports betting app, according to CDC Gaming Reports.
“Our upgraded mobile sports wagering app together with unforgettable experiences through Caesars Rewards is a special combination we’re bringing to sports fans in Wyoming,” said Caesars Digital Co-President Eric Hession in a statement.
Those who download the app, register and deposit money can sign-up for a special offer: if the initial bet does not win, players can receive a free bet equal to the amount lost, up to $1,500.
The new Caesars Sportsbook app focuses on speed, ease of use, and intuitive features.
The company says it’s the only app in Wyoming that rewards bettors with exclusive chances at Caesars destinations across the United States.
The highlights of the NBA deal include game-day promotions and a retail sportsbook in the FedExForum, where the Grizzlies play.
“The Memphis Grizzlies are an exciting young NBA team and it’s great to announce this partnership ahead of what should be a special season for the franchise,” said Caesars Digital Co-President Chris Holdren in a statement. “We embrace the chance to strengthen our connection in the Memphis area through the legacy of our nearby resort, Horseshoe Tunica 30 miles away in Mississippi. This collaboration allows us to engage more sports fans while bringing them experiences they can’t get anywhere else.”
Caesars Sportsbook also will be on signage throughout FedEx Forum and have presenting status on pre-game and post-game radio broadcasts, in addition to various digital and social media assets. The sportsbook also be the presenting partner of Grind City Media, a sports and pop-culture podcast network based in Nashville that focuses on the NBA.
“Caesars Sportsbook is one of the biggest names in sports and entertainment,” said Grizzlies President Jason Wexler. “The alignment of Caesars Sportsbook with Grind City Media digital shows, content, and features will enhance our continued development and execution of best-in-class content for all sports fans to enjoy.”
