Wynn Resorts To Sell Its Sports Betting Division

One of Las Vegas’ most popular casinos, Wynn Resort is reportedly eyeing the sale of its online sports betting vertical called ‘WynnBET.’ According to a report by The New York Post, the casino is selling the unit for a lower valuation.

WynnBET was founded in 2020 and has its headquarters in the casino city of Las Vegas, Nevada. The platform is not widely available. The casino operator had launched the site only in limited markets, which includes states like Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Now as per the latest news updates Wynn Resorts is selling off WynnBET for $500 million. This valuation is much lower than the earlier one. During an earnings call on 10th November 2021, Matt Maddox, CEO of Wynn, had said, “The market is really not sustainable right now, competitors are spending too much to get customers. And the economics are just not something that we’re going to participate in.”
