Betfair strikes deal with Golden Nugget AC

Betfair will move its New Jersey online gaming operation to the Golden Nugget Atlantic City after striking a deal with Landry’s this week.

Golden Nugget Atlantic City will now offer two online casinos to those eligible to play in New Jersey, GoldenNuggetCasino.com and BetfairCasino.com, both of which will operate independently under Golden Nugget’s Internet gaming permit, regulatory approvals permitting.

“We are very excited to move our operations to Golden Nugget Atlantic City, one of the premier resort destinations in New Jersey. With this relationship, Betfair and Golden Nugget are well positioned to accelerate growth in 2015 and beyond,” Don Ryan, Senior Vice President of Gaming for Betfair US said.

“We welcome Betfair to the Golden Nugget. The combination of our complementary brands will allow Golden Nugget Atlantic City to cater to an even larger demographic of NJ online players,” added Thomas Winter, Vice President of Online Gaming for Landry’s Golden Nugget.

BetfairCasino.com hopes to begin operations under the Golden Nugget’s Internet gaming permit on Friday, November 21, 2014.
