The Caesars Sportsbook App is Now Live in Massachusetts
With legalized sports betting making its way to Massachusetts, Caesars Entertainment announced that the Caesars Sportsbook app is available for download. In anticipation of the upcoming launch of mobile sports betting in the Bay State, sports fans can now download the Caesars Sportsbook app, register, and make deposits, all while taking advantage of a special early sign-up offer.
“The launch of our mobile app is an excellent complement to the planned Caesars Sportsbook at historic Raynham Park. We’re confident this combination will deliver the most rewarding sports wagering experience in the Commonwealth, allowing us to treat all sports fans like royalty,” Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital, said.
Caesars Sportsbook links mobile sports betting with unmatched rewards via the industry-leading loyalty program, Caesars Rewards. Every wager placed earns Tier Credits that contribute to status and Reward Credits that can be utilized to gain access to extraordinary Caesars Rewards experiences, discounted getaways at various Caesars destinations across the US, bonus cash in the Caesars Sportsbook app, and world-class culinary experiences.
The Caesars Sportsbook app offers improved functionality for an unmatched sports wagering experience. Customers can enjoy a variety of deposit options, quicker payouts, and user-friendly features that simplify the process of placing bets, along with lightning-fast in-app scoreboards, expanded in-play betting options, same-game parlays, and more ways to wager with thousands of additional markets.
Pending approval by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, Caesars Sportsbook at Raynham Park will be one of the largest freestanding race and pari-mutuel simulcasting establishments in the US. The 30,000-square-foot venue, located just south of Boston, plans to first open as a temporary sportsbook this spring before the brand-new sportsbook opens later this year.
