"We are thrilled to partner with the White Mountain Apache Tribe to bring MaximBet and the renowned Maxim lifestyle experience to Arizona," said Daniel Graetzer, CEO of MaximBet. "With some of the best sporting teams in the country and a highly engaged sports community, we are confident Arizona will be drawn to our consumer-friendly app, world-class customer service, and the incredible live events we are planning for the State."

This partnership will unlock a very important new revenue stream and is critical to the economic future of the tribe and its 17,000 members," said Brent Kurth, General Manager of Hon-Dah Resort-Casino, which is owned and operated by the White Mountain Apache Tribe.
