Sports fans in Pennsylvania can now look forward to more choices when it comes to mobile and online sports betting. This comes as another major player, PointsBet, joins the already impressive lineup of sportsbook operators in the state. This marks the tenth state in the USA where PointsBet has now gone live with its betting product.

The operator has already launched in New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan, West Virginia, Virginia, and New York. The company released a statement outlining its plans to provide an exciting and unmatched sports betting experience in Pennsylvania following its successes in the nine other states where it has already gone live.

The Best in the Business

The recent launch of the platforms in Pennsylvania was attended by the NBA’s Allen Iverson, who is the PointsBet brand ambassador. He described the operator as being the best in the business, adding that it was very exciting to be able to bring the sportsbook’s facilities to Pennsylvania because of the enthusiasm and support of fans in the state.

Johnny Aitken, the CEO of PointsBet USA, said:

Pennsylvania ranks as one of the top five sports betting markets in the U.S. and is supported by forward-thinking leaders at the state’s Gaming Control Board. We appreciate the opportunity to bring the fastest online sports betting product and an unrivaled in-game betting experience to the fans.

The operator plans to promote the brand within the state through the TV and digital assets of NBC Sports. PointsBet will be able to benefit from a range of multimedia and marketing opportunities as part of the partnership.

Speaking about what sports fans can expect, Iverson said that the operator used advanced technology to ensure that its mobile and online platforms would offer agility and speed. He added that fans could look forward to live same game parlay capabilities for NFL and NBA events.

The sportsbook will also be able to reach out to Hispanic sports fans in the state, as it can be viewed in both English and Spanish.

Launching at a Great Time

The launch of the PointsBet mobile and digital sports betting platforms comes at a great time for the operator. Its successes in other states where it has already launched have already been impressive, and the operator hopes to see similar success in Pennsylvania.

One of the reasons why this is a great time for the PointsBet launch is that online and mobile betting continues to gain momentum across the country. Many people now prefer to place their bets online, and there has been a sharp increase in online sports betting over the past couple of years since the outbreak of the global pandemic.

Another of the reasons why this is an excellent time for the launch of the PointsBet platform in Pennsylvania is that it came just before the Super Bowl, which saw huge numbers of sports fans across the world wagering on the event. PointsBet managed to get a slice of the action in Pennsylvania by launching when they did.
