Pennsylvania’s first forays into gambling began in the mid 2000’s, starting first with just slot machines, and graduating to table games and poker rooms by 2010. Though an omnibus gambling expansion bill had been in the works since 2013, it didn’t become a law until 2017, with online offers for sports bettors in June of 2019.

Since then, the array of choices for online and in-person sports betting in Pennsylvania has grown exponentially. The first on the scene was Play SugarHouse, tapping the untapped market in May of 2019, with nearly a dozen more online sportsbooks quickly following suit. Whether by partnering with well-known brands, or in their own name, nearly every retail casino in the state now has its own site – and every sports bettor can find an option that suits them!
