FanDuel Group, the leading sportsbook in America, has signed a partnership with Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment to launch its operation in the state of Connecticut, pending all licensing and regulatory approvals.
Thanks to the partnership with Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, FanDuel will be able to launch its retail and online sports betting and iGaming and fantasy sports to Mohegan’s property, Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Sports bettors in Connecticut will be able to access the sportsbook’s online and mobile betting services for football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and more. Also, the operator will supply its online casino experience under the Mohegan Sun brand to provide daily fantasy sports in the state.
Delivering the Best
Representatives from Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment say that they are excited about working with FanDuel and that they are confident that FanDuel will deliver the best experiences to its players.
“We’re excited to work with FanDuel, one of the leading sports-tech entertainment companies in the U.S. to bring the brand’s innovative sports betting and iGaming solutions to Mohegan Sun Connecticut. Our partnership is a priority for Mohegan Digital, as we look to grow and enhance our casino, sportsbook and online operations in Connecticut – and beyond. We’re confident that FanDuel will deliver a best-in-class digital and in-person experience for our loyal guests,” said Ray Pineault, President & CEO of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment.
Officials from FanDuel, which recently teamed up with Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel Casino, say that Mohegan Sun is one of the best casinos in the Northwest and that they are excited about signing the partnership.
“Mohegan Sun is an iconic casino and entertainment destination in the Northeast, and we are excited to announce our first tribal gaming partnership with one of the leading tribal operators in the United States. We have some incredible plans for the retail space at Mohegan Sun, with the potential to be the largest FanDuel Sportsbook in the United States.
