William Hill offers wagering services from Nevada for 2016 Brazil's Summer Olympics

March 4, 2015

The leader sports betting operator in the United States, William Hill US, has got his new license granted by the Nevada Gaming Commission to offer wagering services on sports events from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. William Hill has set up an excellent network in the Silver State with more than 100 Nevada William Hill Sports Books as well as the online app for cell phones, William Hill Mobile Sports. This coming year’s Olympic Games will be featuring golf, a sport discipline that has not been included in the Olympic Games since 1904, and that is why William Hill US has set golf events at 3/1 if an American gets to win the Gold Medal in the Men’s Individual event at Reserva de Marapendi. William Hill US becomes this way Nevada’s most relevant sports wagering services operator and will be continuing launching new offers for the Olympic Games over the next months. The Sports Book operator has set up a few odds already for several categories:

William Hill U.S. Chief Executive Officer, Joe Asher, has shown a great excitement about this new chapter for William Hill US: “We are excited to be the first Sports Book in Nevada to open wagering on the 2016 Summer Olympics. With more than two out of every three Americans having watched the London Olympics in 2012, the games in Rio have the potential to offer a sizable impact in August of 2016 like we saw last June, across Nevada, with the World Cup. We look forward to continually expanding our Olympic menu in the next 18 months leading up to the games.”
