NASCAR, Wynn Resorts ink multi-year sports betting partnership

NASCAR and WynnBET have agreed to a multi-year, national sports betting partnership.

WynnBET is the digital gaming division of Wynn Resorts, responsible for the company’s mobile sportsbook and casino app.

WynnBET said it will expand the portfolio of bet types offered on its mobile app throughout the NASCAR season, including pre-race and in-play bets. Some possibilities include top-finishing drivers, driver matchups, stage winners and bets tied to the number of the winning car (over/under), among others.

WynnBET added it will submit an application to become a legal gaming operator in the state of Virginia. Earlier this year, the Virginia state legislature passed a bill that will legalize sports betting.

“We are excited to partner with such a deeply experienced and innovative team to drive engagement and expand our sports betting offerings,” Tim Clark, SVP and chief digital officer, NASCAR, said in a statement.

“Wynn is a trusted and iconic brand and our new relationship advances NASCAR’s position in the rapidly evolving gaming space, while delivering fans with yet another live-in race engagement tool.”

“Like Wynn, NASCAR is an iconic brand,” said Craig Billings, president of Wynn Resorts. “Together, Wynn Interactive and NASCAR will provide sports bettors in Virginia with one-of-a-kind experiences, both digitally and at NASCAR facilities in the Commonwealth.”
