- Operator brings universal wallet functionality to Nevada
- Move could enhance convenience for bettors, but there’s a catch
Caesars Sportsbook announced Thursday that the mobile application now has a universal digital wallet for bettors in Nevada, meaning clients from other states can wager from their phones when visiting the state.
The gaming company said the Nevada wallet will allow bettors to manage and view account statuses and Caesars Rewards points in one place when visiting the Silver State. Caesars Sportsbook currently features universal wallet functionality in 19 other US locations, including Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
With this update, users in Nevada can experience added convenience, with all funds and rewards immediately visible and available after logging in. Caesars plans to add universal wallet functionality to more North American jurisdictions where it offers mobile sports wagering in the future,” according to a press release.
The news arrived 11 months after rival BetMGM announced its own bolstered digital wallet functionality that allows Nevada clients to access that platform with ease when they travel to other states in which the operator books bets.
Caesars Nevada Plan Features Minor Inconvenience
The biggest reason mobile betting has taken off is convenience. In most states, bettors can sign up and fund accounts from their computers or smartphones, and when deposited funds clear, wagering can immediately commence.
However, Nevada is an outlier on that front, maintaining an onerous in-person registration requirement for new mobile betting accounts, meaning bettors who want to wager from their smartphones in the state must enter a land-based casino and fill out paperwork.
Caesars Sportsbook’s Nevada digital wallet enhancements don’t skirt that regulation. Rather, the decision embraces what is arguably the state’s folly because the gaming company clearly stated that account holders from other states who want to activate their accounts when visiting Nevada must visit a Caesars-operated brick-and-mortar casino to do so.
Nevada’s in-person registration mandate is widely viewed as a barrier to broader adoption of mobile sports betting in the state. That regulation is also viewed as a catalyst for other states, such as neighboring Arizona, gaining ground on Nevada in terms of sports betting gross gaming revenue (GGR).
On the Bright Side…
For Caesars Sportsbook clients residing outside Nevada and chafing at the in-person activation requirement, there is some good news. Caesars Entertainment is the second-largest operator on the Las Vegas Strip, meaning there are plenty of sportsbooks there at which out-of-state bettors can activate their mobile accounts.
The company also runs five properties in the Reno-Lake Tahoe market and another two casinos in Laughlin, meaning there are plenty of options for tourists who are Caesars Sportsbook clients to activate their accounts for their Nevada visits.
