In addition to the Pistons, WynnBET is investing in the Tennessee sports community via a partnership with the Memphis Grizzlies, and has been named an Authorized Gaming Operator of NASCAR, as well as the Official Online Sportsbook of the Martinsville Speedway and Richmond Raceway, pending licensure in Virginia.

In conjunction with Wynn Resorts acquisition of BetBull in 2020, WynnBET provides highly social sports-betting technology and one-of-a-kind experiences, so that wagering and winning can be a celebrated and shared experience.
