Users of the app must be 21 or older and physically in the state of New York during play, with new customers to receive a risk-free bet of up to $500.
“For us, it’s all about providing a complete world class gaming experience and delivering the latest technology to our guests and loyal customers,” said Darlene Monzo, Chief Marketing Officer, Genting Americas East.
“Our players trust us, and we’re excited to provide a safe way for them to place their favourite sports bets through the Resorts WorldBET app, which they can do from the comfort of their couch, or in the big screen environment of Bar 360 in Queens, or Sportsbook 360 at Resorts World Catskills.”
As part of the launch, Resorts World New York City has invested almost $1m to install digital displays across the property to show all the big games throughout the year.
Resorts World Catskills meanwhile houses Sportsbook 360, one of the only sportsbooks in the state to offer in-person sports wagering.
“This is something our players and sports enthusiasts have wanted for a long time, and we’re excited to say Resorts World New York now has mobile sports betting,” said Robert DeSalvio, President, Genting Americas East.
“From our experience in having a Sportsbook in both our Catskills and Las Vegas properties, we were able to take feedback from our players and deliver what New Yorkers really want in a mobile sports betting app.
“By partnering with an innovative product and technology focused company in PointsBet as our platform provider, we believe Resorts WorldBET will only add to our success.”
