At 3 p.m. yesterday, Caesars Entertainment started taking mobile sports bets in Pennsylvania. It’s a soft launch with limited hours to satisfy a Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board requirement that all new sportsbooks in the state go through a test period.
Online sports betting on basketball, football, hockey, soccer, baseball and college athletics is now available to everyone of legal age in Pennsylvania through CaesarsOnline.com for Desktop and Android users and will be ready for iOS soon. Casino games, including slots, table games and video poker, are coming this spring.
“The online sports betting launch in Pennsylvania achieves another milestone in our strategy to offer Caesars-branded mobile-gaming products equipped with the latest technology and superior customer service across the most populous states in the U.S.,” said Christian Stuart, Executive Vice President of Gaming and Interactive for Caesars Entertainment. “Caesars mobile products are fully integrated into the Caesars Rewards loyalty program, allowing customers to earn and then redeem points seamlessly across our network of sports, entertainment, hospitality and gaming assets worldwide.”
Accounts can be funded in the app via VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, ACH and select other forms of payment.
Caesars’ partnership with Scientific Games, whose OpenBet technology powers the Caesars casino and sportsbook mobile app, has been a key to its success in mobile betting.
Caesars now offers betting opportunities — retail and mobile — in 29 locations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mississippi, Indiana, Iowa, New York and Nevada.
