Caesars Entertainment and the Arizona Diamondbacks Team Up to Bring Mobile Sports Betting to Arizona and a State-of-the-Art New Sportsbook to Downtown Phoenix
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. announced a partnership with the Arizona Diamondbacks to launch mobile sports betting in Arizona and build a first-class sportsbook and bar concept on the plaza adjacent to the team’s home, Chase Field.
“We went through a thorough process to identify the ideal partner that would bring experience and the strongest of reputations in legalized gaming,” said D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall. “Caesars is considered the cream of the crop and aligns with our philosophy when it comes to professionalism, brand presentation, and customer treatment and brings its best in class William Hill mobile sports book product and retail sports betting expertise. Equally important, we went through our strong due diligence to find the industry leader in the education and execution of responsible gaming.
The deal simultaneously grants Caesars Entertainment mobile sports betting market access and exclusive sponsorship in sports betting and daily fantasy sports for the D-backs. In tandem, Caesars also finalized a multi-year agreement with Major League Baseball (MLB) to become an Authorized Gaming Operator of the league.
“We have long enjoyed successful gaming operations in Arizona and are delighted to expand into sports betting alongside the Arizona Diamondbacks,” said Tom Reeg, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. “Together, we have the opportunity to create new ways for baseball fans to engage with the game both in-person near the ballpark and online anywhere in Arizona. Our ability to tie those into our Caesars Rewards network will create an unbeatable experience for any sports fan.”
Following recent legislation in Arizona that authorized legal sports betting, the agreement between the D-backs and Caesars Entertainment will result in a brand-new, state-of-the-art sportsbook, sports bar and broadcast studio at the location formerly known as Game 7 Grill on the Plaza at Chase Field.
When sports betting becomes available in the state, fans can download the sports book app to make a bet anywhere in the state. Through mobile betting, fans can earn credits and tier status to unlock incredible experiences through the industry-leading loyalty program Caesars Rewards. Credits can be redeemed in the form of unbeatable hospitality, entertainment, food and beverage, and gaming experiences, including access to VIP experiences with the D-backs at Chase Field.
As part of the agreement, Caesars Entertainment joins the roster of D-backs corporate partners. It will be integrated into marketing efforts, including access to signage, and digital assets, starting a new relationship with the D-backs fanbase.
The partnerships with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Major League Baseball are the most recent additions to Caesars’ growing list of sports relationships, including a recently announced expanded partnership with the NFL. A part of Caesars Entertainment, William Hill opened the first sportsbook inside a U.S. professional sports complex at the world-famous Capital One Arena in 2020.

ThrillTech secures AGCO supplier licence for Ontario launch
ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

St8 Secures Alberta Licence, Strengthening North American Expansion
Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has secured its registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, marking another significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand across North America’s regulated iGaming markets.
St8 was among the first suppliers to secure a conditional approval granted by the AGLC, underlining the company’s readiness to support operators as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming market.
Alberta represents a key market in St8’s North American growth strategy and follows the company’s expansion into Ontario earlier this year. With its latest approval, St8 is now regulated in some of the industry’s most sought-after jurisdictions, including Sweden, the UK, Romania, and Ontario, among others.
The Alberta approval enables St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in Alberta, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration, alongside bonus and promotional tools, advanced reporting, compliance capabilities, and a suite of operational features designed to simplify casino management.
Purpose-built with modern infrastructure and regulatory flexibility at its core, the St8 software enables operators to launch premium casino content quickly, while also reducing the operational complexity typically associated with multi-provider integrations and expansion into new markets.
This registration builds on St8’s growing presence in regulated jurisdictions and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting operators with scalable, compliant technology as new opportunities emerge across North America and beyond.
With compliance, speed and operational efficiency at the heart of its product, St8 remains focused on helping operators enter new markets with confidence while delivering seamless access to premium casino content through a single integration.
Eva Alšauskaite, Head of Legal at St8, said: “Securing our Alberta supplier registration represents another important step in St8’s international growth strategy and reflects our continued investment in regulated markets.
“As jurisdictions continue to evolve, operators need technology partners that combine innovation with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements. Obtaining this registration demonstrates our commitment to meeting those standards while providing operators with a solution that makes expansion into regulated markets as simple and efficient as possible.”
