Pennsylvania is the largest regulated online casino market in the United States: twenty-four licensed sites, every one tied to a land-based casino, offering slots, live dealer tables, video poker and, at seven of them, online poker with players pooled across state lines. This guide lists every licensed Pennsylvania online casino, explains how the market works and how to tell a legal site from an unlicensed one, and covers the rules on age, location, tax and sweepstakes. You must be 21 and physically inside Pennsylvania to play.
The three venues to know
Parx Casino in Bensalem for the biggest floor and poker room in the state; Wind Creek Bethlehem for the complete resort weekend under the old steel-mill furnaces; Rivers Casino Pittsburgh on the North Shore for a city break with the stadiums next door. All eighteen casinos, with addresses, hotels and what is on each floor, are in the Pennsylvania gambling guide.
How online casinos work in Pennsylvania
The 2017 gaming expansion act created interactive gaming certificates for the state’s casinos, each covering online slots, online table games and online poker. A casino can run its own site, partner with a national brand, or both, which is why Hollywood Casino at Penn National stands behind DraftKings, BetMGM and theScore Bet while Rivers Casino Philadelphia runs BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse. The first sites went live in July 2019; by 2025 the market was producing more than $2 billion a year in revenue, the most of any state. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board licenses every operator, tests every game and publishes the list of who is legal.

Online poker in Pennsylvania
Seven licensed poker rooms operate: BetMGM Poker, BetRivers Poker, Borgata Poker, DraftKings Poker, FanDuel Poker, PlaySugarHouse Poker and WSOP. Pennsylvania joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement in April 2025, so the BetMGM/Borgata network and WSOP share player pools with New Jersey and Michigan, which means bigger guarantees and fuller cash-game lobbies at all hours. PokerStars, the market’s original leader, closed its standalone Pennsylvania site on 1 April 2026 and moved its players to FanDuel.
What you can play
Slots make up most of every library, from Megaways and hold-and-spin titles to progressive jackpots that have paid seven figures in the state. Live dealer blackjack, roulette, baccarat and game shows are streamed from studios operated by Evolution, Playtech and the operators themselves; BetMGM’s Steelers and 76ers blackjack tables are Pennsylvania exclusives. Table games in RNG form include blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat and video poker. Games are tested and approved by the Gaming Control Board before release.
How to sign up, deposit and withdraw
Register with your name, address, date of birth and the last four digits of your Social Security number; verification usually takes minutes. Deposit by online banking (Trustly and similar), debit card, PayPal, Venmo where offered, Play+ prepaid card or cash at the partner casino’s cage. Withdraw the same way; online banking and PayPal are typically the fastest. Every site carries the “PGCB Licensed and Regulated” logo and offers deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in the account settings.
Welcome offers. Every licensed casino runs one — usually a deposit match, free spins, or a refund of first-day losses in bonus funds. Read the wagering requirement, game eligibility and expiry in the operator’s own Pennsylvania terms before you opt in.
Rules, tax and sweepstakes
Age and location. 21, and physically inside Pennsylvania; the apps geolocate you and will not run from outside the state. Visitors can play; residents cannot play from another state.
Tax. Winnings are taxable at the 3.07% Pennsylvania income tax rate and federally, with 24% withholding and a W-2G on large wins. Keep a record of losses to offset winnings on a federal itemized return. Operators pay 54% on online slots and 16% on online table games and poker.
Sweepstakes casinos. No license exists for them in Pennsylvania. The Gaming Control Board has stated that sweepstakes-model casinos are illegal online gambling, issued eighteen cease-and-desist letters in April 2025 (all complied), and has asked the legislature for enforcement powers. Most major sweepstakes brands now block the state. Play only at the twenty-four licensed sites above.

Pennsylvania online casinos in 2027
Expect the market to pass its 2025 revenue record again, with BetMGM, FanDuel and DraftKings still the three biggest apps, Caesars pushing its three brands, and the 2026 arrivals — Imperial Treasures, Resorts and the relaunched Wind Creek — deciding whether Pennsylvania supports two dozen sites or consolidates; on poker, FanDuel’s absorption of PokerStars and multi-state liquidity at BetMGM and WSOP should mean bigger prize pools, and a statutory sweepstakes ban is the most likely legislative change.
