Churchill Downs has launched its BetAmerica Sportsbook online in the US state of Pennsylvania.

The online debut builds upon the sports wagering and igaming brand’s retail presence in the state, following the opening of the retail BetAmerica Sportsbook in August at Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie.

BetAmerica president Ian Williams said: “We’re thrilled to offer the sports betting players in Pennsylvania a new platform to place bets on a broad range of sports events.

“Our BetAmerica Sportsbook features in-game betting, cash outs and super odds boosts that are certain to be a hit with Pennsylvania’s legion of passionate and die-hard sports fans.”

The BetAmerica Sportsbook offers players the opportunity to place online bets on a diverse array of global sporting events, including professional and collegiate sports in the US.
