Eleven online sportsbooks are live. The biggest Pennsylvania sports betting sites are FanDuel and DraftKings, which took almost seven of every 10 dollars bet online in September, followed by Fanatics, BetMGM, Bet365 and Caesars Sportsbook.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board publishes figures for every sportsbook each month. Sportsbooks can deduct the promotional credits they give away before tax, which is why taxable revenue is lower than gross revenue. These are the September 2026 figures, released on October 19:
| Measure | September 2026 |
|---|---|
| Total handle | $798.7 million (down 6.1% on September 2025) |
| Online handle | $767.5 million |
| Retail handle | $31.2 million |
| Gross sportsbook revenue | $73.5 million |
| Promotional credits deducted | $28.8 million |
| Taxable revenue | $44.7 million |
| Tax collected (state and local) | $16.1 million |
| Sportsbook | Share of Pennsylvania online handle (September 2026) |
|---|---|
| FanDuel | 36.7% |
| DraftKings | 32.7% |
| Fanatics | 7.6% |
| BetMGM | 7.4% |
| Bet365 | 5.3% |
| BetRivers | 2.9% |
| Caesars Sportsbook | 2.8% |
| theScore Bet | 2.7% |
| betPARX | 1.0% |
Shares are calculated from the online handle each sportsbook reported to the Gaming Control Board. Over the full 2025 calendar year, Pennsylvania's sportsbooks took $8.8 billion in bets, up 5.2% on 2024, and earned $602.5 million in revenue.
We rate every sportsbook on the same criteria (see how we rate sportsbooks): the welcome offer, the depth of markets, the quality of the app, live betting, payment options and ongoing promos.
FanDuel is Pennsylvania's biggest sportsbook, with 36.7% of September's online handle, and it runs the retail sportsbook at Valley Forge Casino Resort. Its app is fast and its Same Game Parlay builder is one of the easiest to use on Eagles and Steelers Sundays.
New customers get $350 in Bonus Bets when they wager $5 a day for seven days, with $50 in Bonus Bets issued for each day. No FanDuel promo code is needed. Read our full FanDuel Sportsbook review.
DraftKings is a close second, with 32.7% of September's online handle, and it runs the retail sportsbook at The Meadows near Pittsburgh. Its NFL and NBA prop menus are among the deepest in the state, with Same Game Parlay and SGP+ tools, fast live betting and daily profit boosts.
New customers who sign up with DraftKings and place a first bet of $5 or more get $200 in Bonus Bets, paid out over 21 days, plus three months of NBA League Pass. The first bet doesn't have to win, and no DraftKings promo code is needed. Read our DraftKings Sportsbook review.

Pennsylvania legalized sports betting before the federal ban was even lifted. Gov. Tom Wolf signed Act 42 on October 30, 2017, as part of a wider gaming expansion, and once the US Supreme Court struck down the ban in May 2018, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course took the state's first legal bet on November 17, 2018. Online betting followed on May 28, 2019.
Dimers simulates every game thousands of times. Use the results before you bet with any Pennsylvania sportsbook:

FanDuel and DraftKings lead Pennsylvania on market share, markets and apps.

Playing at online sportsbooks, real money casinos, and sweepstakes sites should always be safe and enjoyable. Keep control of your activity by following responsible gambling guidelines such as:
Decide on a budget you’re comfortable with and stick to it. Once it’s gone, stop playing.
Trying to recover losses often leads to overspending.
Avoid playing under the influence, or when angry, stressed, or tired.
Take breaks and ensure gambling doesn’t cut into time with family or friends.
Learn the rules, bet types, odds, and payouts before playing to avoid mistakes.
Make use of features like budget limits and self-exclusion.
