Fanatics Betting and Gaming, a subsidiary of Fanatics Holdings Inc., went live in Pennsylvania Monday, fulfilling its commitment to becoming part of the bustling Pennsylvania sports betting scene. Fanatics can be found on our list of best sports betting sites.

Pennsylvania became the 11th jurisdiction that Fanatics has launched since its high-profile acquisition of PointsBet's U.S. operations in August. Fanatics' sports betting app is now available alongside other PA sports betting apps for download on iOS and Android on the App Store, Google Play, or the Fanatics website.

New customers in Pennsylvania will also get the chance to access the Fanatics online casino, which went live Monday. Before Monday's Pennsylvania launch, the company's new iGaming platform was only available in the West Virginia market. Users will also get to take advantage of PA sportsbook promos that the sportsbook offers.

In typical PA sports betting fashion, the first 48 hours of operation will be a soft launch. There will be no restrictions in place, however, for new users during that time period.

More details

Customers of the PointsBet brand in Pennsylvania will have their accounts automatically migrated to the Fanatics Pennsylvania platform. Information such as customer’s email, username, password, account balance, rewards points and responsible gaming settings will be ported over to the Fanatics brand.

New customers are immediately available to take advantage of generous Fanatics signup bonuses in the Pennsylvania market.

Pennsylvania marks the 11th of 12 market access launches that came along with its $225 million acquisition of the PointsBet brand.

What Fanatics brings to the Pennsylvania market

Fanatics is a well-established global business that hopes to seize on its success as one of the biggest global sports apparel brands, with an estimated customer base of 95 million.

So far, they have been a middling name in the American market, up against some of the most experienced and successful sports betting operators on the planet. 

What unique features does Fanatics sportsbook bring to the Pennsylvania market? 

Besides a fresh new name and approach to the sports betting scene in the Keystone State, Fanatics has taken a strong, Responsible Gaming approach to its platform. The creation of its sports wagering brand came just as the focus on such responsible gaming initiatives became a priority for sportsbooks.

Fanatics will also bring its superb Reward program "FanCash" to Pennsylvania bettors; according to a press release surrounding the Pennsylvania launch, FanCash is touted as the only sportsbook rewards program to allow users to earn "5% of your wager back in FanCash." FanCash dollars can be used for Bonus Bets and for merchandise at fanatics.com.

Other FanCash benefits allow users to:

  • Earn 5% FanCash on Same Game Parlay (SGP) bets.
