Currently there are 12 sportsbooks that allow for in person sports betting in Pennsylvania. The number may grow a small amount over time, but Pennsylvania sports betting laws are a bit more intense than other states unlike the New Jersey sports betting laws, which are much more lax and allow for more competition. Online sportsbooks in PA must be affiliated with a physical casino that is licensed with the state of Pennsylvania to take wagers. This is the main reason why there are so few sportsbooks in PA. The other reason that established casinos and sportsbooks may opt out of entering the Pennsylvania sports betting market is the high barrier of entry.

Currently the state has by far the highest amount of taxes and fees to open a sportsbook in PA.

Requirements to open a sportsbook in PA:

• $10 million application fee
• 34% tax on gross sports betting revenue
• 2% local share assessment tax
• .25% federal excise tax on handle

For some established gaming outfits the hurdle is just too high and the profits are too small to open a sportsbook in PA. Especially as many other states are beginning to legalize sports betting and allowing online sports betting faster. We may see more well known casinos enter the market once online sports betting in PA becomes legal and market size increases ten fold. Until legal mobile sports betting is passed in Pennsylvania we see a combination of old familiar casinos / sportsbooks such as SugarHouse, Parx, and Harrah's opening their doors for sports betting mixed with newer primarily online operations like FanDuel, Betars, and Unibet.
