Wynn Sportsbook expects to be ready for online launch

Since the passing of expanded gambling laws in December, Michigan bettors have eagerly anticipated the launch of online gambling.

The most recent estimates indicate that the launch is scheduled for late November.

According to the announcement on Monday, Wynn will be at the starting gate, but this is subject to all regulatory approvals.

Gaming brand looking to break into online market

While Wynn is well-known in the gambling industry, its presence in online sports betting and casino is not as prominent.

In 2005, Steve Wynn, a prominent developer, unveiled the colossal Wynn Las Vegas on the Strip. Additionally, his company manages Encore Boston Harbor in Massachusetts, along with the esteemed Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace in China’s Cotai region.

In August, Wynn Sports and Wynn Online Casino made their unassuming debut in New Jersey. It is worth noting that New Jersey has been permitting legal online gambling since 2013.

Originally, the Wynn Sportsbook was exclusively available as an app in the Garden State. Within the app, users could access online casino games through a designated tab.

Additionally, the company has an online sportsbook available in Nevada, with plans for Wynn to eventually expand its services to Colorado and Indiana.
