With legal sports gambling coming to Ohio over the coming months, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Caesars Entertainment, Inc. announced a multi-year partnership with Caesars Sportsbook, the “Official Sports Betting Partner” and Caesars Entertainment the “Official Casino Partner” of the NBA organization. 

As part of the partnership, a best-in-class, street-level retail sportsbook will open inside the northwest atrium area of Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the Cavaliers’ home arena.

“We’re ready to welcome Ohio sports fans into the Caesars Sportsbook Empire while also making history with our second sportsbook at an NBA arena,” said Chris Holdren, Co-President of Caesars Digital. 

“Building upon our already established roots with Scioto Downs in Columbus, we’re excited to announce our partnership with the Cavaliers at an exciting time in their franchise’s history. As we prepare to launch sports betting in Ohio later this year, this wide-ranging partnership enables us to connect with the Cavs passionate and highly engaged fanbase. Caesars Sportsbook at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse will be a first-class venue providing an exciting atmosphere for sports betting and more.”

The Caesars Sportsbook at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse will have betting windows for cash wagers. The approximately 10,355 square foot space features wall-to-wall televisions, a VIP lounge, a full-service bar, and an extensive menu. 

The Cavaliers and Caesars will foot the entirety of expenses. 

Additionally, the sportsbook will be open year-round regardless of whether there is an event at the arena or not, and the venue will be available to bettors with tickets or those looking to place wagers. The sportsbook is expected to open by the end of 2022. 

Caesars Sportsbook will gain access to the use of the official Cavaliers logo and marks, broadcast and digital content across Cavs properties, as well as television-visible in-game signage.

Furthermore, the people in Ohio can download the Caesars Sportsbook app to place wagers anywhere in the Buckeye State once mobile betting is legalized.
