Today is the day many have been waiting for. DraftKings Sportsbook PA has been approved for launch in Pennsylvania.
At the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s second October meeting, DraftKings received its license to launch its sports betting app in PA.
They are expected to soft-launch early next week and go fully live later in the week, multiple sources confirmed to Crossing Broad.
They will become the sixth online sports betting site available in Pennsylvania.
While a couple of months behind bigtime competitors like FanDuel Sportsbook PA and Fox Bet PA, DraftKings will enter the market with significant promotional fare as one of the two leading sports betting apps in the US.
They will look to quickly get up to speed and compete with rival FanDuel in the market.
DraftKings Sportsbook is currently available in New Jersey, Indiana, and West Virginia. For our money, DraftKings features the most action, the most stable app, and a bunch of unique and fun ways to bet including sportsbook pools, cash out options, parlays, odds boost and much more.
You can head on over to our DraftKings Sportsbook PA page to be updated when they actually go live.
