The current PA sports betting landscape
Online sports betting first went live in Pennsylvania in November 2018, and now with the launch of bet365, all of the industry’s biggest operators are available in the state.
Pennsylvania is perennially in the top 10 states in sports betting handle and revenue. This is partially due to the state having the fifth most professional sports teams in the country, behind only California, Florida, New York and Texas. Pennsylvania also has a vibrant college sports scene.
Take a look at how much handle and revenue the PA sports betting industry has generated over the years below:
| Year | Handle | Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $7,683,099,581 | $686,944,388 |
| 2022 | $7,251,428,759 | $597,364,960 |
| 2021 | $6,552,109,118 | $505,523,748 |
| 2020 | $3,580,864,477 | $269,902,733 |
| 2019 | $1,490,167,111 | $11,731,913 |
Pennsylvania has made more in both handle and revenue each year since legalizing online sports betting, and the inclusion of bet365 should only add to the state’s prowess within the industry.
PA sportsbook choices will ultimately remain at 11 brands
The addition of bet365 gives Pennsylvania bettors 12 sportsbook options, but only for a brief couple of weeks. Betway recently announced that they would be exiting the U.S. sports betting market, and they are set to leave PA on July 31. Still, 11 sportsbooks is nothing to scoff at. Pennsylvania is still one of only 12 states with legalized online sports betting to offer 10 or more sportsbook choices to its bettors.
