Pennsylvania, with its proximity to New Jersey (the 1st state to legalize), quickly followed suit by legalizing sports betting in November 2018. By almost every measure, including handle and ease of use, PA has positioned itself as a leader among legal sports betting states.
Online and Mobile sports betting was legal from the inception of the sports betting bill in Nov 2019. It took a few months for a legal sportsbook app to launch, but in May 2019 regional casinos SugarHouse (now BetRivers) and Parx, launched online. Then, in July 2019, the mobile scene exploded when national player FanDuel launched their mobile sportsbook in the Commonwealth. Since then, a total of 13 books have received licenses to offer legal sports betting both in-person and online.

BetMGM also has a lot of odds boosts and promos to take advantage of. It also has a really nice user interface when scrolling through the different types of markets/props you want to bet. It’s very intuitive and easy to navigate. Some of the promos are highlighted below:
BetRivers also has a nice signup bonus in which they will deposit match up to $250. Other than that, they have nice daily promos and odds boosts that they call “House Specials.” We love betting those House Specials, as they normally have some profitable bets to make.
PointsBet follows suit with the previous books that offer a generous sign up bonus. New users can get up to $2000 in 2 free bets. They also have daily odds boosts and generally a sleek interface that is easy to navigate.
Unibet is a fairly new sportsbook, but they are easy to use and still have some good promos.

Pennsylvania is easy. You can do everything necessary to get signed up all from your phone/computer. Some states require an in-person sign-up, but Pennsylvania is not one of those states.
They also make signing up and depositing fairly simple as well. This is detailed in the next section, but for the sign-up process, the sportsbook will ask you a couple of personal questions to verify your identity. Then once you are signed up you can set up the payment method by syncing the app to your account.
Only two rules in Pennsylvania.
