DraftKings, Genius Sports and BetMGM were among the recipients of the sports betting licenses in Wyoming’s newly launched sportsbetting market

With Wyoming, DraftKings is now offering its online?sportsbook product?in 13 states. In January, Virginia and Michigan also saw the operator launch locally.

DraftKings Co-Founder and President Matt Kalish said: “Legalized sports betting has seen widespread growth in just three years and the DraftKings Sportsbook has been at the center of the action.

Genius Sports also stated that the Wyoming Gaming Commission had awarded it a licence to operate an online sports betting business. Adding Wyoming to Genius’s list of states takes them up?to their?15th state in total.

Genius CEO Mark Locke said: “We are honored that the Wyoming Gaming Commission has joined the growing number of US gaming authorities that have granted Genius a betting supplier license. Our team looks forward to working with our industry-leading sportsbook partners to deliver compelling, high integrity sports betting experiences throughout the great state of Wyoming.
