CAESARS SPORTSBOOK WINS MARKETING CAMPAIGN & SPONSORSHIP OF THE YEAR AT 2022 SBC NORTH AMERICA AWARDS
Caesars Sportsbook, a division of Caesars Entertainment, Inc., claimed the Marketing Campaign & Sponsorship of the Year award at this year’s SBC North America Awards. The ceremony, which took place in New York City, was accepted by Caesars Sportsbook Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer, Dan Shapiro, and other representatives.
“It’s an honor to be recognized for the storytelling we’re doing with our campaigns and the partnerships we’ve established since our launch,” said Shapiro. “Sports are about emotional connections and we’ve set out to build a brand that connects with sports fans on that level. This recognition is a testament to the incredible work by our Team Members and the great partners we have. We look forward to building on Caesars Sportsbook’s success while continuing to entertain.”
Caesars overcame the challenge of launching a new brand in the highly competitive sports betting category following its acquisition of William Hill and subsequent launch of Caesars Sportsbook. Its marketing efforts and campaigns leveraged the legacy that Caesars has in sports while utilizing a new technology platform and creating a unique and differentiated marketing campaign that broke through to deliver strong results.
The campaign, starring actor JB Smoove as Caesar, Halle Barry as Cleopatra, the royal family of football Archie, Peyton, Eli, and Cooper Manning, sports personalities Trey Wingo and Kenny Mayne, comedian Patton Oswalt, and other sports legends has been a key driver for Caesars Sportsbook’s success. The rollout of the campaign centered around the 2021-22 National Football League season and culminated with the first-ever Super Bowl ad by the brand and the first-ever responsible gaming ad spot to air during NFL games and around the Super Bowl, starring the Mannings.
The SBC Awards recognize the achievements of operators, affiliates, and suppliers from all major disciplines in sports betting and gaming.
Caesars Sportsbook is currently live in 24 states and jurisdictions—18 of which are mobile—and operates the most retail sportsbooks across the country.

Caesars Sportsbook to Expand Wagering Footprint in Washington, D.C.
Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced it will bring Caesars Sportsbook self-service kiosks to 53 small businesses across Washington, D.C. Caesars Sportsbook wagering kiosks will replace the GambetDC sports wagering kiosks currently in place at OLG-licensed sports betting retail locations. In addition to wagering, the kiosks will accept cash deposits to Caesars Sportsbook mobile accounts.
“We appreciate the Office of Lottery and Gaming for providing us the opportunity to further our connection with sports fans in our nation’s capital. Our self-service betting kiosks are an excellent addition to our sports wagering options in D.C. Whether sports fans prefer a traditional ticket-in-hand wagering experience or want to simply deposit cash for their mobile app account, our kiosks enhance the premier sports betting experience we offer through the combination of options and convenience that supports dozens of small businesses locally,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.
“D.C. residents and visitors will soon have access to best-in-class sports wagering kiosks at retail locations across the city. We are pleased to partner with Caesars, a key industry player and the leader in retail sport betting operations, which is demonstrating its commitment to the D.C. community,” said Eugene Vlasenko, Interim Executive Director of OLG.
With thousands of markets and lightning-fast functionality, Caesars Sportsbook betting kiosks will provide the gold-standard sports wagering experience sports fans are familiar with on the Caesars Sportsbook mobile app.
Every wager placed with Caesars Sportsbook, whether at a kiosk, in-person Caesars Sportsbook at Capital One Arena, or on the mobile app, earns Reward Credits redeemable for unforgettable experiences made possible through the industry-leading loyalty program, Caesars Rewards. Sports fans 21 and older can download the Caesars Sportsbook app on iOS and Android or access it via desktop.
In July 2024, Caesars expanded its flagship mobile sports wagering platform, Caesars Sportsbook, across Washington, D.C., except for in restricted areas. Caesars has offered in-person sports betting at Capital One Arena since 2021 through its landmark partnership with Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE). Caesars Sportsbook at Capital One Arena made history as the first sportsbook in a U.S. professional sports venue.
Caesars Entertainment remains committed to promoting Responsible Gaming awareness and education as Caesars Sportsbook expands into more jurisdictions. In 2023, the Company implemented a refreshed 21+ policy, which certifies that all Caesars Rewards accounts are only made available to individuals 21 and older, and, where allowed by law, limits all domestic gaming, pari-mutuel, sports, and iGaming options to those 21 and older. This 21 and older policy applies to all sports wagering operations conducted by Caesars Sportsbook in Washington, D.C., including on the Caesars Sportsbook app and at all in-person sports betting locations.
Caesars Sportsbook self-service betting kiosks throughout Washington, D.C. will enforce Caesars Entertainment’s enhanced 21 and older gaming policy. This policy applies to all in-person and online operations conducted by the Company and underscores Caesars’ commitment to Responsible Gaming and its established reputation as a leader in the industry.

Caesars Entertainment Partners with the Detroit Lions
Caesars Entertainment Inc. and the Detroit Lions announced a new partnership, making Caesars Sportsbook an Official Sports Betting Partner and Caesars Entertainment the Official iGaming Partner of the Detroit Lions. The collaboration with the defending NFC North Champions combines custom fan experiences for Caesars Rewards members with dynamic sponsorship assets and the use of official Detroit Lions logos and marks in multiple online casino games coming to Caesars’ digital platforms.
The first online casino game launch on behalf of this partnership will be a Live Dealer blackjack game featuring a custom-made Detroit Lions felt. The game is set to go live exclusively in Michigan at the start of the 2024-25 NFL season on Caesars Palace Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino for online casino players 21 and older.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the Detroit Lions to bring opportunities to their fans that cater to their interests and are unique to the royal experience only Caesars can deliver. We’ve enjoyed a great relationship with sports fans in Michigan, and partnering with one of the most passionate fan bases in the NFL will help us grow that connection as we continue to expand our offerings in the state with the launch of Horseshoe Online Casino later this year,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.
“As we embark on this season, we’re proud to enhance our fan experiences with Caesars Entertainment. This partnership will unite Lions fans who are passionate about the team, offering them exclusive opportunities to engage with us both at Gamedays at Ford Field and through Caesars’ digital platforms here in Michigan,” said Detroit Lions Vice President of Corporate Partnership Mace Aluia.
Caesars brands, including Caesars Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, Caesars Palace Online Casino, and Horseshoe Online Casino, will be featured throughout Ford Field during Lions games. Additionally, Caesars brands will also be featured in radio spots on the Detroit Lions Radio Network and in team digital and social media.
This partnership builds on Caesars Entertainment’s presence in the region complementing its operation of the world-class destination, Caesars Windsor, located just across the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario. The destination celebrated the grand opening of Ontario’s first full-service sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook at Caesars Windsor, in January 2023, providing an elevated environment for sports fans and fans of the Detroit Lions to enjoy and wager on marque sporting events.
