Betfred’s betting platform, which is currently available at the We-Ko-Pa Sports and Entertainment Sports Bar on Thursdays to Sundays, will soon be expanded with what Betfred calls a Las Vegas quality retail sportsbook. This new property will open in the summer of 2022.    

SCCG Founder Stephen A. Crystal, said of the event: “SCCG is a proud partner of Betfred Sports in securing Arizona market access for Betfred with We-Ko-Pa Resorts.”
