Business Wire
Score Media and Gaming Inc. (TSX Venture: SCR) (“theScore”) is
pleased to announce that it has secured market access to offer
mobile sports betting in Colorado via an agreement executed last
night with a subsidiary of U.S. gaming operator Jacobs
Entertainment Inc. (“JEI”). Subject to receiving all relevant
licenses and approvals from the Colorado Division of Gaming, the
Company anticipates launching its mobile sportsbook, theScore Bet,
in Colorado later this year.
“We can’t wait to introduce theScore Bet to fans in Colorado
later this year,” said John Levy, Founder and CEO of theScore.
“We’ve already seen exciting early momentum from our mobile
sportsbook in our launch state of New Jersey. Now we are focused on
its multi-state rollout while driving ongoing product innovations
to further strengthen the connection between our media and gaming
platforms, leveraging our incredibly powerful and highly-engaged
sports app audience.”
J.J. Garcia, Vice President of Colorado Operations of JEI, said:
“theScore is a market leader in mobile innovation. Their sports app
is already one of the most popular in North America and, with
theScore Bet, they are now leading the way in the integration of
digital media and sports betting to deliver a revolutionary and
holistic experience for fans. Their visionary and unique approach
truly sets them apart and we’re thrilled to partner with them.”
Under the agreement, JEI will receive a percentage of revenue
derived from theScore Bet’s mobile sports betting operations in
Colorado, subject to certain annual minimum guaranteed amounts, and
an initial upfront fee. The agreement spans an initial term of 10
years, extendable for two successive five-year renewal terms, at
theScore’s option.
Launched in September 2019, theScore Bet made history by
becoming the first mobile sportsbook created by a media company in
North America. Natively built and currently supporting wagering in
New Jersey, theScore Bet is a comprehensive mobile sports betting
platform that has been uniquely integrated with theScore’s sports
app to create a seamless media and gaming ecosystem.
theScore continues to unveil new innovations within its media
and gaming ecosystem, and in November 2019 launched FUSE by
theScore, a suite of innovative integrations creating even faster
and tighter navigation between theScore and theScore Bet, including
the ability for users to create betslips from inside its sports app
for the first time.
