The arrival of the NFL season will bring with it a long-anticipated addition to and shakeup of Pennsylvania’s online sports betting options, but not this week.
Penn National Gaming announced Monday morning that it will launch its new Barstool Sportsbook mobile app with a state-monitored test period from Sept. 15-17, with permanent operation expected to be ready Sept. 18.
The mobile site, the 10th that will be operational in Pennsylvania, has been long anticipated. Penn National officials have said they’ve spent nearly $10 million on the development, which will launch in Pennsylvania before the company’s other states and include rebranding of retail sportsbooks to take on the Barstool name.
