FoxBet Makes its Debut in New Jersey, Pennsylvania

Right after their world premiere in New Jersey, FoxBet has entered the recently regulated online gambling and sports betting market of Pennsylvania. The mobile versions of this site are also available for download for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets.

Customers in PA will, moving forward, be able to take advantage of major sports and leagues' odds such as football, hockey and basketball. The NFL season began on September 5th.

Premium Experience For Pennsylvanians

Apart from odds and betting options, FoxBet will also contain integrated access to Fox Sports content, stats and instant scores. The site and app will also contain breaking sports news and insight from experts and broadcast personalities.

Comments FoxBet CEO Robin Chhabra:

“Starting today, Pennsylvania has access to one of the world’s premier regulated sports wagering experiences. Together with Fox Sports, an icon in sports programming, we’ve built a platform that is like nothing the United States has ever seen. We’re bringing fans closer to the games they love by making our platform more fun and engaging than any other out there.”

FoxBet replaces BetStars (The Stars Group brand) in the NJ market. In May this year, Fox Sports and BetStars signed a 25-year partnership according to which Fox Corporation bought a 4.99% stake in this operator.

Pennsylvania's Online Launch

In mid-July, three PA land-based casinos successfully tested their online casinos...

...paving the way for the launch of online gambling in this state and entry of multitude of operators, such as NetEnt, SBTech, Amelco and Evolution Gaming.

The three casinos that started this historic movement were Hollywood Casino, Parx Casino and PlaySugerHouse.

The FoxBet launch comes at a good time when after the Pennsylvania Gaming and Control Board announced that July was the most successful month in terms of sports betting revenue...

...with an amount of $2.9 million, an increase of 100.7% from June!

New Jersey Excels

The new brand launched in New Jersey before becoming available in Pennsylvania...

...and, in the Garden State, which has long legalized sports betting and online gambling, NetEnt has recently had their premiere through DraftKings.

NetEnt US subsidiary managing director, Erik Nyman, said of this milestone moment:

“DraftKings has a large player base and we are certain that they will enjoy our portfolio of casino games. Players in the US can also look forward to a very exciting roadmap of games to be launched during the rest of the year and beyond.”

Canada's digital media company theScore was also given approval by New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to provide sports betting services in this state.

Says founder and CEO, John Levy:

“This is a significant moment for theScore, becoming the first media company in North America to announce its plans to launch online and mobile sports betting in the United States. Sports betting has long been part of our company DNA in how we’ve delivered content to fans. Providing the ability to actually bet on games is the natural next phase for theScore.”
