The Roman Empire Entertainment conglomerate has entered the Puerto Rican wagering arena, directly challenging BetMGM. Shortly after Casino Metro debuted a physical sports wagering venue in December 2022, Caesars declared its own sports betting application is now operational on the island.
This introduction arrives just weeks after BetMGM, who had previously held an early bird advantage. They were the initial operator to unveil a mobile sports wagering application in Puerto Rico, taking advantage of the legalization of sports betting in February 2022. This new endeavor complements their existing physical sportsbook at the Casino del Mar, situated within the opulent La Concha Resort in San Juan.
For those keen to place wagers with Caesars, a two-part procedure is required. Initially, they must enroll online. Subsequently, they need to complete their registration in person at Casino Metro, specifically at the “Caesars Sportsbook at Casino Metro.” This physical sportsbook is outfitted with three betting counters and 14 self-service stations for enhanced ease.
Eric Hession, Head of Caesars Digital, conveyed his excitement about this growth. “Introducing our mobile sports wagering application is a major stride in providing a streamlined and premium ‘MetroBets’ encounter to our patrons at Caesars Sportsbook at Casino Metro,” he remarked. He continued, “We are incredibly appreciative of our collaborators and the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission for facilitating this. This launch permits us to deliver the exhilaration of sports betting to all parts of Puerto Rico, and we are certain that our customers will be astounded by the unmatched experience we provide.”
The head honcho at the casino, Ismael Vega, was thrilled with their latest mobile application. He stated it allows their loyal patrons to place wagers with Caesars Sportsbook at any time, from any location utilizing MetroBets. He appreciates that it makes responsible gaming incredibly convenient, regardless of where they are on the island. It seems they’ve had a surge of fresh faces since Caesars Sportsbook set up within the casino. Additionally, residents of Puerto Rico can now take advantage of Caesars Rewards, their customer loyalty initiative.
