Caesars Sportsbook has signed a term sheet with three Maine tribes and is the first national operator to gain digital sports betting market access in the state, Sports Handle has learned.

Last spring, Maine lawmakers legalized retail and digital sports betting and gave the state’s four tribes exclusivity. The deal means that Caesars will have access to three of the four digital skins allowed in the state.

Because each tribe is entitled to one platform, Caesars could potentially have three individually branded platforms (for example, Flutter has two sportsbook brands in the U.S., FanDuel and FOX Bet) or a single platform under the Caesars banner.
