mkodo partners with White Hat Gaming for launch of new WynnBet sportsbook app
mkodo, a Pollard Banknote Company and award-winning supplier of mobile and front-end technology for iGaming, has struck a partnership agreement with leading platform provider, White Hat Gaming, which is set to power Wynnbet’s new sportsbook app.
Following the deal, mkodo has been appointed by White Hat as the front-end developer for the established WynnBet brand, as part of the platform provider’s PAM agreement with the casino giant.
Building on the existing partnership between the two suppliers, the mkodo team is set to leverage its 20-plus years of front-end development expertise to build a world-class native iOS and Android sportsbook app for WynnBet, one of the largest operators in North America.
The new app is set to launch in Massachusetts in Q2 2023, where WynnBet was conditionally licensed as the first mobile sports betting operator in the state. Mkodo’s delivery of the multi-state travelling wallet app is powered in part by White Hat’s award-winning functionality and allows players to retain their balance whenever they move across states.
This new, intuitive sportsbook and casino app will eventually replace all existing Wynn apps within one single, multi-vertical single version, enabling WynnBet customers to bet seamlessly across legalised states.
White Hat Gaming expanded into several North American markets in just over 12 months and was recently named the exclusive US PAM provider for WynnBet. At the same time, mkodo worked with the leading platform provider to supply its clients with award-winning front-end, geolocation and digital UX.
mkodo’s team has developed several key features to enhance the quality, reliability and useability of the initial new WynnBet sportsbook app including advanced navigation & UI, biometric login, enhanced onboarding flow and geolocation.
All these features support digital and retail integration allowing the customer to have the utmost convenience and creating a smooth omnichannel player experience.
Stuart Godfree, Managing Director at mkodo, said: “We are delighted to be White Hat’s chosen front-end partner for this project.
“White Hat delivers a market-leading iGaming platform and working alongside its team in the growing and progressive US iGaming states has allowed us to leverage our insight and powerful products that are perfect for this application
“WynnBet’s new mobile app built on White Hat Gaming’s platform provides players a new and exciting opportunity to wager on sports betting along with a number of native features and an enhanced user interface”
Phil Gelvan, CEO at White Hat Gaming, said: “WynnBet products are designed to digitally deliver the legendary service and guest experience Wynn Resorts is known for, backed by the company’s trusted legacy as the world’s premier international casino operator.
“By choosing mkodo’s services alongside our superior PAM offering, we are confident that we can offer WynnBet and its players a seamless and user-friendly sportsbook experience.
“The level of support, technology, and expertise from mkodo has been so impressive, equating to a smooth and efficient project during what is a highly anticipated and exciting milestone for WynnBet and its players. We’re excited to continue our partnership together on this, and future projects.”
