Caesars Sportsbook Adds the Mannings to the Empire

Published

The First Family of football joins Caesars Sportsbook in a groundbreaking partnership

Caesars Sportsbook today announced the signing of the Mannings in a historic first-of-its-kind partnership between a sports betting company and an iconic sports family. Part of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., Caesars Sportsbook welcomes Archie, Peyton, Eli, and Cooper Manning to join the empire as Caesars Sportsbook expands across the country.

Beginning today, the Mannings will be featured in advertising, in addition to making live event and commercial appearances.

“This isn’t the typical partnership between a sports betting company and major talent,” said Chris Holdren, Co-President of Caesars Digital. “We’re welcoming the most acclaimed family in football history to be integrated holistically into the Caesars family. Archie, Peyton, Eli, and Cooper are extraordinary people who are champions of their communities and we’re honored to partner with such a prestigious group of individuals.”

Caesars Sportsbook will incorporate the Mannings into a wide array of fan engagement opportunities made possible for sports bettors utilizing the industry-leading loyalty program, Caesars Rewards. Now, not only will bettors earn Tier Credits and Reward Credits with every wager, but members will have the chance to interact directly with the Mannings in various ways through upcoming activations.

In addition to lending their creativity and expertise as advisers, the Mannings will serve as prominent ambassadors for Caesars’ focus on responsible gaming. Drawing a parallel to the importance of staying in control – like they did on the football field every Sunday – the Mannings will highlight the resources that Caesars Sportsbook provides bettors to stay in control of their gaming. The Caesars Sportsbook app features responsible gaming tools as part of its offering, including self-imposed time limits, deposit limits, and spending limits.

The Mannings are the most accomplished family in pro football history. For 35 of the NFL’s 102 seasons, there was a Manning family member starting at quarterback in the league. During their illustrious NFL careers, Archie, Peyton, and Eli combined for 48 seasons, 653 games, four Super Bowl championships, 20 Pro Bowls, 152,874 passing yards and 1,030 passing touchdowns. Even after retiring 37 years ago, Archie is the second-leading passer in New Orleans Saints history. Peyton, who starred in Indianapolis and Denver, was named NFL Most Valuable Player five times, two more than any other player in league history. Eli owns almost every passing record from his time in New York and is one of five players to be named Super Bowl MVP multiple times.

In addition to their on-field excellence, the Mannings are no stranger to off-the-field achievements. Peyton and Eli are the only brothers to win the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, the league’s most prestigious honor, which recognizes a player for his excellence on and off the field. Caesars is also committed to supporting the Mannings’ many charitable initiatives.

Alongside their national efforts, the Mannings have a storied history in New Orleans dating back to Archie’s 10-year stint as starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints and the brothers’ prestigious high school football careers. The family is lauded in the city as national ambassadors and praised locally for their charitable and civic involvement. This landmark partnership builds upon the already established relationship between Caesars and the Mannings as the company operates the Mannings Sports Bar & Grill out of Harrah’s New Orleans.

“We’re excited to partner with the team at Caesars Sportsbook,” said Peyton Manning. “We’re looking forward to interacting with their customers who love sports and love football, and we know Caesars has a lot of fun initiatives planned. They place a strong emphasis on community impact, and we appreciate their support of causes that are important to us.”

Caesars Sportsbook is currently live in 20 states and jurisdictions—14 of which are mobile—and operates the largest number of retail sportsbooks across the country. The mobile app offers expansive wagering options, including live in-game betting, as well as safe and easy ways to deposit and withdraw funds. Caesars Sportsbook has partnerships with the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and several individual teams, while being the exclusive odds provider for ESPN and CBS Sports.

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.”
