Parx Launches Internet Sports Betting in Pennsylvania

Parx Casino, the largest casino gaming complex in Pennsylvania, has become the second Pennsylvania gambling operator to offer online sports betting.

Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh is scheduled to become the third casino to offer online sports. Rivers is owned by Rush Street Gaming, the company that owns and operates SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia, which inaugurated online sports-betting in Pennsylvania in May. Since Rivers and SugarHouse operations share technology, Rivers will require only two days of testing before a full launch.

The sports betting lines and odds for Parx, SugarHouse and Rivers are all managed by Kambi Group PLC, a European operator that recently opened its North American headquarters in Philadelphia.

Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware are among the first states to legalise sports betting since the U.S. Supreme Court decision a year ago that overturned a federal ban on sports betting outside of Nevada.
