FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
With the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) will sports wagering now be legal in PA and, if so, when?
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, per the gaming expansion law Act 42 passed in late 2017, notified casino license holders on May 31, 2018 that they can begin submission of petitions requesting approval to conduct sports wagering. There is no end date on when a casino can submit a petition to the Board to request authorization to offer sports wagering.
Currently, the Board is working on necessary regulations that will provide oversight of sports wagering, and does not have a timetable on the end of that process or the launch of sports wagering.
