The state of Pennsylvania has moved quickly to open its doors to sports betting following the breakthrough decision in the US Supreme Court on May 14 to remove the federal ban.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced this week that casino licence holders can begin to submit petitions requesting approval to run sports betting. It has already begun to pass a series of temporary regulations for sports wagering.
“The actions taken by the board are the first in our efforts to launch sports wagering in Pennsylvania as soon as possible,” said the board’s executive director Kevin O’Toole. “In the coming months, we expect to regularly ask the board for approval of additional temporary regulations that will move us toward a launch of this new gaming initiative.”
