FanDuel Group is thrilled to reveal that it has entered into a partnership with Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) in Connecticut, in terms of which it will gain market access to offer sports betting, iGaming and daily fantasy sports in the state, pending regulatory and licensing approvals.
The agreement covers online as well as retail sports betting, involving MGE’s Mohegan Sun casino resort in Uncasville, Connecticut.
A temporary retail sportsbook, operated through the Mohegan Sun brand, will open at the Mohegan Sun in September that offers 15 self-service terminals and 4 betting windows, with plans to open a permanent retail sportsbook during the winter, subject to obtaining the relevant approvals.
Ray Pinealut, CEO and President at MGE, commented that they are excited to team up with ‘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”.
Amy Howe, President at FanDuel, said this is the group’s first-ever tribal gaming partnership.
Howe also said that the combination of an online casino, retail and online sports betting means that ‘Connecticut is going to be a key state for them as they look towards the start of football season.
Last month, MGE rolled out its own digital subsidiary, Mohegan Digital.
