Beginning Wednesday, May 6, the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas will be launching the South Point Sports app for mobile betting.
New users will be able to sign up for the app through a drive-up station located at the valet entrance, where they will be able to deposit money and wager on upcoming sports events.
All your favorite sports are available too, including pro & college football, pro & college basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, soccer, MMA, and plenty more. Additionally, you can bet online via the Parx Casino ® online sports betting app, which is available in the Apple App Store, via direct download for Android devices, and Macs and PCs. NV Sports is the sports wagering app for the South Point Casino. South Point is one of the most important independent sportsbooks in Nevada. The sportsbook’s prominence is due to the presence of its two top handlers.
Brand new customers must sign up for the app in person, and existing customers must also have to make their deposits in person as well. The South Point valet entrance will be open for new and existing customers seven days a week, from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m, beginning May 6.
The South Point’s new drive-up system complies with the CDC’s social distancing guidelines, and is a convenient option for sports bettors to place their bets “quarantine-style.”
The new system was launched ahead of sport’s likely return this month, and ahead of what looks like another few weeks before casinos are finally able to reopen nationwide.
Customers who are signing up for the app must be 21 or older with a valid photo ID. Users can download the app through Apple, Google Play Store, or through southpointsports.com.
