WynnBET, the mobile sports betting app from Wynn Resorts, and the Indianapolis Colts on Friday unveiled a new partnership making WynnBET a sportsbook partner of the National Football League franchise.
As part of the agreement, terms of which were not disclosed, Lucas Oil Stadium’s West Club will be re-named the WynnBET Club, featuring a 21-and-over only sports bar environment in the upstairs club level, as well as a WynnBET VIP area.
This is the second such deal of the week for WynnBET, which earlier announced it would be the name sponsor of the WynnBET Green Room at MetLife Stadium on gamedays for the New York Jets.
Also earlier this week, the Indy Colts named Caesars Entertainment as its casino and sports betting partner.
On Friday, WynnBET said it signed Colts’ legend Robert Mathis as its newest brand ambassador.
Mathis, a five-time NFL Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champion and the 2013 AFC Defensive Player of the Year, will participate in WynnBET media partner programming as part of the partnership. He spent his entire 14-year career with the Colts and will appear at in-person events with WynnBET.
Outside Lucas Oil Stadium on gameday, WynnBET host a lounge at the team’s pre-game tailgate area, Touchdown Town, where prizes will be given away to 21+ guests. WynnBET and the Colts will offer various fan activations, including appearances from Colts’ legends and WynnBET brand ambassadors, food and beverage offerings, and prize giveaways.
