The launch means that WynnBet is now available in four states — New Jersey, Colorado, Michigan, and Virginia. The brand has also been conditionally approved for sports betting in Tennessee.

WynnBet has also secured market access for Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Ohio.

The news comes just a few days after the Virginia Lottery announced a sports betting handle of over $58 million for the first 11 days of operation in the state.
