Mobile Fubo Sportsbook coming to Pennsylvania
Fubo Gaming now has market access deals in four states.
Fubo Gaming, a subsidiary of sports-first live TV streaming platform fuboTV Inc., and The Cordish Companies on Friday unveiled a market access agreement for the forthcoming mobile Fubo Sportsbook in Pennsylvania.
Fubo Gaming said its agreement with The Cordish Companies, owner and operator of Live! Casino Philadelphia and Live! Casino Pittsburgh, provides for state-wide mobile access for both sports betting and online gaming.
The launch of Fubo Sportsbook in Pennsylvania is subject to obtaining requisite regulatory approvals, the company added.
Through Fubo Sportsbook, fuboTV intends to integrate gaming with its live sports offering for a seamless user experience enabling consumers to wager while they watch.
FuboTV currently has a sports offering in Pennsylvania through its carriage agreements with regional sports networks NBC Sports Philadelphia (Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Phillies) and AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Pirates), in addition to local and national network coverage.
Friday’s agreement will bring Fubo Sportsbook to a minimum of four states, following previously announced market access agreements in New Jersey and Indiana (through Caesars Entertainment, Inc.) and Iowa (through Casino Queen).
The company said Fubo Sportsbook is expected to begin rolling out state-by-state in the fourth quarter 2021, subject to obtaining requisite regulatory approvals in each jurisdiction.
“Entering Pennsylvania, one of the largest sports betting and online gaming makers in the US, is a significant accomplishment for our forthcoming Fubo Sportsbook which, in this market, can also include mobile casino games,” Scott Butera, president, Fubo Gaming, said in a statement. “We also are excited to be partnering with Cordish, which has been a leader in gaming and sports entertainment for decades.”
David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, fuboTV, added, “Our agreement with The Cordish Companies will bring Fubo Sportsbook to consumers in Pennsylvania, expanding our sportsbook’s reach to at least four states. With our sportsbook, we are looking forward to delivering a comprehensive sports entertainment experience that combines live streaming and wagering.”
Rob Norton, president, Cordish Gaming Group, said 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. 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.”
