PointsBet Opens a Sportsbook in a Deal with The Riverboat in Maryland
Pointsbet has partnered with The Riverboat at the Potomac to open the PointsBet Retail Sportsbook in the US state of Maryland. The Riverboat is made up of two companies, Bodhi-Naav and Delmock Technologies, Inc, both of which are minority-owned businesses.
PointsBet is originally an Australian bookmaker that has expanded to now have gaming operations in the United States and Canada.
The new Sportsbook promises to offer players a unique sports and gaming experience. There is an exclusive area with lounge seating and more than 20 screens where customers can view live sports, betting shows, and results.
Additionally, the venue will have customer booths on the perimeter and refreshments for players available from the bar area.
PointsBet is delighted to commence operations with The Riverboat team in the brand-new sportsbook overlooking the beautiful Potomac River. This is a seminal achievement for the partnership and Maryland’s gaming industry at large as the launch represents the first Minority Business Enterprise to go live with licensed gaming in the state’s history, in line with the spirit of legislation, It is a proud moment for The Riverboat and for us at PointsBet as their partner. We look forward to the prospective opportunity of bringing the renowned PointsBet mobile product to Maryland next and in doing so further enhancing The Riverboat’s equity and inclusion in the space.
Arthur Ellis, the State Senator of Maryland commented. “The partnership between the Riverboat and PointsBet is a success on both fronts, proof that Maryland can be a leader in equity. This sportsbook gives Charles County a seat at the table, with 100% minority business enterprise (MBE) licensed ownership, in a billion-dollar industry.”
