Fanatics Sportsbook is now live in Pennsylvania.

Fanatics Betting and Gaming announced today that Fanatics Sportsbook and Casino will soft launch in Pennsylvania over the next two days under the supervision of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

The soft launch will feature no restrictions regarding customer signups or playtime.

Fanatics Opens in Largest Market Yet

Fanatics Betting and Gaming opened its sportsbook and casino in its largest market to date with its Pennsylvania launch. According to representatives, all PointsBet accounts have been migrated over to Fanatics Sportsbook.

It’s the 11th state for Fanatics Sportsbook and just the second state for Fanatics Casino. It comes on the heels of the sportsbook operator opening in Vermont earlier this month.

Pennsylvania sports bettors can now download the sportsbook and casino app in the Keystone State. Today in Pennsylvania only, each PointsBet customer’s username, password, account balance, rewards points and responsible gaming settings have been automatically migrated to the Fanatics Sportsbook.

The first bet placed in the state, according to a Fanatics representative, was a $5 four-leg same game parlay for tonight’s 76ers vs. Spurs matchup.
