Unibet Online Casino Pa

BetMGM online casino officially arrived in Pennsylvania on Dec. 4 after successfully completing a three-day test launch.

It is Pennsylvania’s 13th iGaming option in a market that started in July 2019.

For Keystone State interactive entrances, BetMGM made quite a splash. Initial offerings include a robust library (by PA starting-out standards) of online slots and table games.

BetMGM’s way to PA

In a late October Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board meeting, BetMGM received approval for two operator licenses, one for interactive gaming and one for sports wagering. To use the sports wagering operator license, it had to partner with an in-state casino. BetMGM partnered with Hollywood Casino, owned by Penn National.

BetMGM sportsbook and poker on its way?

In Pennsylvania, usually the sportsbook comes before the casino. However, that hasn’t been the case with Live! Philadelphia and BetMGM.

On Nov. 24, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced a partnership with sports betting and iGaming operator BetMGM. The news did not include a date for an online sportsbook launch, although the partnership, and speculation, hinted that would be soon.

ESPN staff writer David Purdum interviewed Bill Hornbuckle, CEO of MGM Resorts, during this week’s SBC’s Betting on Sports America – Digital. Hornbuckle offered insight about the gambling industry, leagues’ relationship with stakeholders, in-play betting and more.

Here is what he said about the number of sportsbook operators:

“It’s a dogfight. I view this much like the telecom industry. There is going to be four to five real winners and [a] bunch of everybody else. There has been some massive spend. DraftKings is spending $50 million a month. We are targeting the markets we are in. It’s going to take strong hearts and deep wallets. For now, it’s about capture. We are all aggressively going at it with vigor.”

Since November 2019, PokerStars has been Pennsylvania’s lone online poker operator. But others are about to join the party, like BetMGM Poker PA.

BetMGM LLC operates Partypoker in New Jersey, and there have been rumors for months about its impending arrival in PA.

PA online casinos’ record revenue

Unibet Online Casino Pa

In October, iGaming operators posted a record $59.8 million in revenue. It represents an astronomical growth from the previous October, when iGaming 2019 revenue was about $5 million.

Will New Jersey’s top online casino have similar success across state lines? As the most important skin on Borgata’s license, BetMGM in NJ is the highest-earning individual casino in the state.

BetMGM and responsible gaming

GVC Holdings, an international gaming operator that works with BetMGM, is the first official PlayPause partner. PlayPause is a sophisticated gambling exclusion tool.

It allows players to self-impose restrictions that will extend to every state in which an operator is active. PlayPause’s adaptive technology allows users to customize restrictions, track and limit betting habits, and self-exclude according to their particular needs.
