Resorts WorldBET goes live in New York

Resorts World New York City, New York City’s one and only casino-hotel operated by Genting Group, has made its debut as an online betting brand and operator in the United States by launching Resorts WorldBET, its mobile sports betting app, which accepted its first wager in New York today. New members receive a risk-bonus bet of up to $500.

"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."

"For us, it's all about providing a complete world class gaming experience and delivering the latest technology to our guests and loyal customers," added Darlene Monzo, Chief Marketing Officer, Genting America's East. "Our players trust us, and we're excited to provide a safe way for them to place their favorite 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 app's launch, Resorts World New York City (RWNYC) has invested nearly one million dollars to install digital displays across the property to show all of the big games throughout the year. Resorts World Catskills (RWC) is also home to Sportsbook 360, one of the only sportsbooks in New York offering in-person sports wagering to its customers. Resorts WorldBET's advertising will feature a QR code provided by the New York State Gaming Commission which will deliver direct access to the Problem Gambling Resource Center.
