With interest in sports betting surging and state residents placing $3.5 billion in total betting handle in 2020, behind only New Jersey and Nevada, media companies are keen to get hold a share of the market in the Keystone State and beyond.

With the dust now settled, March Madness is the next big ticket on the sports betting calendar and VSiN comes just on time to provide Pittsburgh-area residents with top-notch sports betting news, analyses and insights into the subtler aspects of the business.
