Caesars announced today that it has completed the deal to acquire WynnBet’s Michigan online gambling platform.

The deal has been made in conjunction with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Caesars said it did not anticipate any interruption to customers.

The online platform will remain under the WynnBet brand for now. A press release said a new brand for the site would be announced “in the second half of 2024, pending regulatory approvals.”

The deal to acquire WynnBet‘s online casino and sportsbook license was announced in February.

Combined Caesars Palace, WynnBet numbers for May good for fourth spot in Michigan

Closure of the deal was announced as Michigan online casino and sports betting numbers were being released by the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

May was the second best month in history for online casino revenue with $198.6 million.

In May, the Caesars Palace MI online casino ranked fifth with revenue of $11.8 million. The WynnBet online casino had revenue of $2.6 million.

Combined, that total of $14.4 million would have allowed Caesars to leap over BetRivers into fourth spot in Michigan behind the perennial big three: BetMGM, FanDuel and DraftKings.
