A major player in the New York sports betting market added yet another marketing deal within the state.
Caesars Entertainment, which touts itself as the largest casino-entertainment company in the United States, announced during the weekend a multi-year partnership between Caesars Sportsbook New York and the Buffalo Bills.
The agreement was at least the third major deal for Caesars within the state.
Detailing Others Caesars Pacts
The other Caesars pacts are:- In September 2019, the Oneida Indian Nation officially opened The Lounge with Caesars Sports at Yellow Brick Road Casino, the largest sports book in New York at the time. It was the third retail sportsbook in Oneida, following the Aug. 1, 2019 opening of The Lounge with Caesars Sports at Turning Stone Resort Casino and Point Place Casino.
- In November 2021, in anticipation of mobile sports wagering, Caesars announced a multi-year marketing partnership with Madison Square Garden Sports and Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp., which made it an official sports betting partner of the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, Madison Square Garden Arena and MSG Networks. As part of the deal, Caesars Sportsbook will have a branded, premium hospitality space inside Madison Square Garden that will be open for all Knicks and Rangers games, as well as additional select events. The space will undergo a full refurbishment leading into the 2022-23 Knicks and Rangers seasons.
With this new deal, Caesars Sportsbook became an official mobile sports betting partner of the Bills, who advanced in the NFL Playoffs with a 47-17 thrashing of their rival, the New England Patriots.
“This partnership gives us the opportunity to connect with one of the most passionate fan bases in all of sports,” said Chris Holdren, co-president of Caesars Digital, in a news release. “We’re ready to welcome Bills fans into the Caesars Empire and offer them access to best-in-class hospitality experiences through our Caesars Sportsbook app as we continue to expand our footprint across the state of New York and beyond.”
In early January, the Bills also signed a deal with the FanDuel Group.
