Why SugarHouse Is One Of The Best Online Casinos in Pennsylvania

It has been a longtime coming, but online casino games are now live and legal in Pennsylvania.

So which site is best?

While Parx, Hollywood Casino and SugarHouse all offer online casino gaming, we believe SugarHouse is your best bet—when the big choices such as FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM are not factored into the equation.

Here’s why:

Overall: 8.4

SugarHouse Online Casino is our recommended online casino in PA because of its stellar deposit options, excellent signup bonus, and the fact that it is the only online casino available on iOS in PA. It loses points for not yet having table games, but they are expected to be added soon once approved by the state.

 

SugarHouse’s promo offer

SugarHouse offers a bonus code to activate a $250 deposit bonus which can be used in their PlaySugarHouse Online Casino in PA.

To activate the offer, click our link and enter promo code 250MATCH when you make your first deposit. You will see a “piggy bank” at the top of the screen. From there you can choose to activate your bonus.

You only need to wager the bonus money once for it to be eligible for withdraw. This 1x play-through requirement is actually one of the better offers in legal online gambling in that there are few restrictions and it is rather straightforward. The amount isn’t as great as we’ve seen at, say, NJ sports betting sites, but those are typical risk-free offers that require you to wager upwards of $1,000 to even be eligible.

 

First casino to launch in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey

SugarHouse has been out ahead in the legal gambling market. They launched their PlaySugarHouse app in New Jersey in 2016, were second to launch their online sportsbook app in New Jersey, first in Pennsylvania, and now among the first crop to launch an online casino.

“We thank the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, for authorizing us to be a part of history this week in bringing our online sportsbook and casino to gaming enthusiasts in the state of Pennsylvania,” said Richard Schwartz, president of Rush Street Interactive, which was named operator of the year by EGR North America. “We are also proud to become the first gaming operator to offer the same online brand in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey so players who live or work across the border of these states can bet on PlaySugarHouse.com in either state.”

 

Explaining the good and bad of the Rush Rewards program

Real money players earn “Loyalty Level Points” and “Bonus Store Points” in the Rush Rewards Program. There are 10 tiers and an invite-only VIP tier.

Rewards include everything form bonus store access, to swag, to exclusive VIP experiences.

Every real money wager you make will earn both Loyalty Level Points and Bonus Store Points.

 

Loyalty Level Points

A status bar keeps track of your Loyalty Level progress and how far you are away from reaching the next level. Loyalty points are available on a 60-day window. All points you earn will stay with you for 30 days and then begin gradually declining for the next 30. You can keep earning more points during this period, however.

This is a somewhat misleading offer from SugarHouse in that it becomes unclear which points you have limited remaining time to spend and which are newly acquired. The idea is to keep you betting at the same rate all of the time.

SugarHouse words it as follows:

“Loyalty Level Points will be deducted once a day using a formula that takes into account the average of the points you’ve accumulated 31-60 days ago.

For example: If you accumulated 300 points in the window between 31 and 60 days ago, you Loyalty Points will be deducted by 10 points today, as 300 divided by 30 is equal to 10. Therefore, to maintain the same number of Loyalty Points you would need to earn at least 10 Loyalty Level Points today. You can always increase your Loyalty Level by earning more than the number of points deducted.”

In other words, keep betting.

Bonus Store points, however, are available for a year after they are earned.

 

Using the Bonus Bank

The Bonus Bank is where SugarHouse Online Casino stores your bonus money. There are three things you can do with your bonus money:

Bank It: add money to your bank to let it accumulate for use later
Play It: wager it
Take It: withdraw it

SugarHouse does offer an industry-best 1x play-through requirement, meaning Bonus Bank money only needs to be wagered once before it is eligible for withdraw. We love this about SugarHouse.

 

Bonus Store

SugarHouse’s online casino also offers a bonus store. Points are accumulated through playing and the Rush Rewards program and can be used for free spins, scratch-offs and bingo.

 

Promotions

SugarHouse Online Casino offers a range of bonus offers and free spins.
