Caesars Entertainment Inc has announced a long-term deal with the New York Mets. The company becomes the official sports betting partner of the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise.
The deal will yield VIP experiences and hospitality assets for Caesars Rewards members, as well as plans to open a new sports betting lounge at Citi Field during the 2022 MLB season.
Located on the Excelsior level at Citi Field, the space will bring together the Caesars Sportsbook app with an upscale dining room and outdoor patio seating complete with panoramic views of left field.
Caesars was one of the first operators to go live with its sportsbook on the launch day of the online betting market in New York earlier this year in January.
As part of the deal, the group will also have access to the official Mets logos and branding, visible signage on TV game broadcasts, and digital content on baseball club properties.
Chris Holdren, Co-President of Caesars Digital, commented, “New York is a key state for us following the successful launch of our Caesars Sportsbook app in January.”
“The Mets fan base is one of the most loyal in baseball and this partnership gives us the chance to treat these passionate fans like Caesars. We look forward to opening our space at Citi Field during an exciting time for the franchise.”
