In order to place an online bet through any of the above sportsbooks, you will have to be within the state border of Pennsylvania.

The various sportsbooks are not all using the same oddsmakers to provide lines so lines may be different at different books. What you are able to bet on may also be different. Not every book may offer wagering on every sport. Not very book will offer the same prop bets, etc.

Colleges

You will not be able to bet on college sporting events involving a Pennsylvania college at a Pennsylvania sportsbook. That means if you want to wager on games involving Penn State, Villanova, Pittsburgh, Penn or any other college or university located in the state of Pennsylvania, you will have to go to another state with legalized wagering to place that bet.

Professional Sports

You will absolutely be able to wager on professional sports teams from Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania. So the Eagles, Steelers, Phillies, Pirates, 76ers, Flyers, Penguins and Union are all in play. So are Tennis and Golf and NASCAR and Cricket, Some books may accept bets on minor league baseball.

Esports

Right now, it’s not a big deal and it’s difficult to find lines on Esports contests. In a year or two as more big, corporate players get into Esports and the Esports companies build their leagues and fan bases, betting will certainly become more of a factor.
