Pennsylvania’s first online/mobile sportsbook launched on May 28, and in the roughly three days it was open it took $570k in wagers, according to figures made public by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Tuesday.
The Play SugarHouse online sportsbook opened on May 28 for limited hours, in what is known as a “soft launch.” The first legal online sports bets in PA history began after 4 p.m. on May 28. The betting hours were restricted up until the morning of Friday, May 31, which ended the soft launch period. Bettors can now wager 24/7.
