Caesars continues its rise to the top
The company has been on a spending spree as of late. Not only are they investing $400 million in Atlantic City, but UK officials just gave Caesars the green light to complete its $3.7 billion acquisition of UK operator William Hill Sports Betting.
According to Jefferies Analyst David Katz, the transaction was a “strong positive for [Caesars] both strategically and financially.”
Caesars is already the largest casino operator in the US, and the addition of William Hill only strengthens its sports betting portfolio.
According to the company, William Hill comes with industry experience and valuable US technology, giving Caesars the chance to cross-sell 60 million customers in the Caesars Rewards database. From the consumer standpoint, s can expect a unified wallet and customer experience across William Hill online sportsbooks and Caesars online casino.
And let’s not forget the cherry on top
The National Football League (NFL) recently announced a five-year sports betting partnership with Caesars, DraftKings, and Fanduel worth $1 billion combined.
In addition to the NFL deal, Caesars will also sponsor the New Orleans Saints’ Superdome.
The NFL deal comes with massive clout. Caesars will most certainly toss its name in the ring to operate New York mobile sports betting. Should it win that contract, it will easily become one of the top three sports betting operators in the US.
