BRISBANE and LAS VEGAS (July 5, 2024) – Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) ("Caesars") today announced the acquisition of ZeroFlucs Group Pty Ltd ("ZeroFlucs"), a provider of cutting-edge software that enables sports betting operators to augment their pricing offerings while leveraging their own existing data sources and relationships.

The acquisition cements a relationship between the companies that has already improved the customer experience and will continue to unlock exciting new product features and benefits for Caesars Sportsbook bettors.
"We are excited to welcome the talented ZeroFlucs team into the Caesars family," said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.
