Caesars Sportsbook Becomes Official Sportsbook Partner of LSU Athletics
LSU Athletics and Caesars Entertainment announced a multi-year partnership to make Caesars Sportsbook the exclusive gaming and sportsbook partner of the Louisiana State University athletics department.
This landmark alliance with a Power Five athletics department, facilitated by LSU’s third-party multi-media rights holder, Playfly Sports, focuses on unique alumni and fan engagement opportunities while expanding responsible sports gaming and education.
“LSU Athletics programs have always exemplified excellence, and at Caesars, we couldn’t be happier to partner with such an iconic brand in college athletics. We have a proud legacy in Louisiana, and bringing LSU fans and alumni closer to the sports they love while also offering scholarship opportunities will help us build upon that,” Chris Holdren, Co-President of Caesars Digital, said.
Caesars Sportsbook will receive a multitude of marketing and sponsorship assets from LSU Athletics. Assets include naming rights for the new Caesars Sportsbook Skyline Club at Tiger Stadium, signage throughout Tiger Stadium, as well as additional signage at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, Alex Box Stadium, and an exclusive presence on the LSU Sports Mobile App.
Broadcast and digital sponsorship rights, visibility for Caesars Sportsbook throughout all of LSU’s 21 men’s and women’s sports programs are also included in the agreement, as well as opportunities for Caesars Sportsbook customers to attend LSU athletic events and access VIP hospitality at Tiger Stadium through their membership with the company’s industry-leading loyalty program, Caesars Rewards.
“LSU has always taken pride in providing fans with unique, innovative, and world-class experiences, and our new partnership with Caesars Entertainment will do just that. We share a clear vision of how athletics and entertainment can come together to enhance the fan experience, and we are excited to join with Caesars to make that vision a reality,” LSU Athletics Director Scott Woodward said.
In addition to providing a financial commitment to LSU, Caesars will also create an annual scholarship fund to support Louisiana-resident LSU students. The fund will benefit students pursuing majors in sports administration, commerce, and leadership, paving the way for future Tigers in the industry.
“As a proud partner of LSU Athletics, we are focused on creating innovative partnerships to engage sponsors and unlock meaningful new revenue sources. Given the interest in and access to gaming, we are excited to responsibly bring Caesars Sportsbook and LSU together,” Michael Schreiber, Founder and CEO of Playfly Sports, said.

Bragg Gaming Announces Content and Technology Partnership with Caesars Entertainment
Bragg Gaming Group has announced a technology platform and exclusive games development partnership with Caesars Entertainment for the US and Canada markets.
The new partnership elevates Bragg’s relationship with Caesars from a content supplier to a technology partner, showcasing the value of Bragg’s advanced iGaming technology and content development expertise.
This partnership is projected to help drive double-digit growth in both Bragg’s revenue and profitability in 2025, particularly in North America—a key strategic focus for Bragg’s expansion efforts in 2025. Additionally, the agreement will accelerate growth in Bragg’s exclusive content revenue, enhancing a balanced and margin-accretive product mix.
The enhanced partnership includes a strategic technology licensing framework for Caesars to lease Bragg’s Remote Gaming Server (RGS), as well as further options to license the Bragg HUB product delivery and casino game aggregation platform, and Bragg’s Fuze player engagement platform, offering experience-enhancing features such as bonuses, free rounds, jackpots and AI-powered game recommendation engines.
Bragg, in collaboration with Caesars’ newly formed in-house games studio team, will initially develop a number of online casino games for Caesars’ digital platforms. The partnership will also create a delivery platform for Caesars’ in-house games studio to build and deploy its own proprietary, custom game titles that incorporate its unique intellectual property, catering to player preferences across Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino.
As a longstanding partner of Caesars, Bragg has previously developed two highly successful exclusive titles – Lady Luck Casino Egyptian Magic and Boardwalk Slots Bankers & Cash – for Caesars Palace Online Casino and regularly supplies new online slots and casino games to Caesars’ digital platforms in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in the US, as well as in Ontario in Canada.
Neill Whyte, Chief Commercial Officer at Bragg Gaming Group, said: “We’re thrilled to be kicking off this exciting new content and technology project with Caesars for its online casino platforms. We have decades of expertise and know-how, as well as the full technology suite to build, launch and operate the highest quality online casino games, and we look forward to expanding our strategic partnership with the Caesars team to enhance the player experience through innovative and exclusive gaming content creation. Bragg and Caesars already have a strong history together, and this expanded partnership is a testament to our commitment to continue building and further strengthening this successful relationship.”
Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President & Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital, said: “Bragg’s technological expertise has consistently exceeded our expectations throughout our partnership. This expansion marks an important step in our strategic growth plan to develop our own proprietary digital slots and table games content and to offer something truly exclusive for our players. We’re excited about the potential that this moment provides us, and we have our sights set on building exclusive online casino games through our newly formed in-house game studios team that will set us apart in the industry.”
