FLUSHING, NY — Caesars Entertainment and the New York Mets have announced a multi-year partnership to make Caesars Sportsbook an Official Sports Betting Partner of the team. In addition to a variety of VIP experiences and hospitality assets for members of the industry-leading loyalty program, Caesars Rewards, this partnership features plans to open a new sportsbook lounge at Citi Field, Caesars Sportsbook at the Metro Grille.
Scheduled to open during the 2022 Major League Baseball season, the new upscale 13,000 square foot space isn’t a retail sportsbook but visitors can make bets on the Caesars app on their phones which is now legal in New York. The new lounge will be located on the Excelsior Level at Citi Field with a multi-tiered dining room and outdoor patio seating complete with panoramic views overlooking left field.
“New York is a key state for us following the successful launch of our Caesars Sportsbook app in January,” said Chris Holdren, Co-President of Caesars Digital. “The Mets’ fanbase is one of the most loyal in baseball and this partnership offers us the chance to treat those passionate fans like Caesars. We look forward to opening our space at Citi Field during an exciting time for the franchise.”
Caesars is one of the most popular sportsbetting apps in New York.
Access to official New York Mets logos and marks, TV-visible in-game signage, and broadcast and digital content across Mets’ properties are also included in this partnership, which extends Caesars Sportsbook’s already-established footprint in New York. Caesars Sportsbook is an authorized gaming operator of the MLB and is currently live in 23 states and jurisdictions—17 of which are mobile—and operates the largest number of retail sportsbooks across the country, including sportsbooks at top New York gaming destinations Turning Stone, Yellow Brick Road, and Point Place Casino through the Oneida Indian Nation and at Caesars, Harrah’s Resort and Tropicana in Atlantic City.
