A subsidiary of a live sports TV streaming platform and a casino operator joined forces to offer sports bettors in Pennsylvania another sportsbook option.
Market Access Agreement
Fubo Gaming and the owner and operator of Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia and Live! Casino Pittsburgh gaming properties, The Cordish Companies, announced today a market access agreement that will see a mobile Fubo Sportsbook in Pennsylvania.
“Partnering with Fubo Gaming to bring our guests this exciting, integrated mobile sports betting option is the natural evolution of our Live! Casino brands in Pennsylvania.”
Rob Norton, President, Cordish Gaming Group
With the Fubo Sportsbook launch subject to obtaining the required regulatory approvals, the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform and the land-based casino operator will offer sports betting and iGaming options statewide.
“Entering Pennsylvania, one of the largest sports betting and iGaming makers in the U.S., is a significant accomplishment for our forthcoming Fubo Sportsbook, which, in this market, can also include mobile casino games.”
Scott Butera, President, Fubo Gaming
Through carriage agreements with regional sports networks like the NBC Sports Philadelphia and the AT&T SportsNet Pittsburg, fuboTV is currently offering live sports from all major teams from the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, the 76ers from the NBA, Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins from the NHL, and MLB’s Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates.
“Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are both iconic sports cities that are deserving of best-in-class sports betting platforms, so we look forward to working with Fubo Gaming on this new endeavor.”
Rob Norton, President, Cordish Gaming Group
Boost Sport Experience with Wagering
The Fubo Sportsbook will provide a seamless customer experience by integrating fuboTV’s expansive offering in live sports with gaming to allow sports fans in the Keystone State to wager while watching their favorite teams.
“With our sportsbook, we’re looking forward to delivering a comprehensive sports entertainment experience that combines live streaming and wagering. We expect to launch Fubo Sportsbook in the fourth quarter of this year pending regulatory approvals.”
David Gandler, Co-Founder and CEO, fuboTV
Following previously announced market access agreements with Caesars Entertainment to bring Fubo Sportsbook to New Jersey and Indiana, as well as Casino Queen for a launch of the sportsbook in Iowa, the agreement with The Cordish Companies provides access to a fourth US jurisdiction for the mobile sportsbook.
The live sports TV streaming operator expects to begin the state-by-state rollout of Fubo Sportsbook in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to obtaining regulatory permits in each jurisdiction.
