ESPN and Penn Entertainment have partnered to launch ESPN Bet, a new sports gambling service with the branding and logo of the sports media giant.
ESPN Bet, now available in 17 states, was first announced in August, when Penn Entertainment signed a deal worth $1.5 billion with ESPN, allowing Penn to use the sports media giant's name to promote its sportsbook.
Under the agreement, Penn Entertainment will operate the betting service while ESPN will promote it across its platforms. The agreement grants Penn Entertainment the right to operate ESPN Bet for a decade, with the option to extend for another ten years.
“Our primary focus is always to serve sports fans and we know they want both betting content and the ability to place bets with less friction from within our products,” said Jimmy Pitaro, ESPN Chairman, in an August press release announcing the deal. “The strategy here is simple: to give fans what they’ve been requesting and expecting from ESPN. PENN Entertainment is the perfect partner to build an unmatched user experience for sports betting with ESPN BET.”
ESPN Bet is a revamped version of the sports-betting app Barstool Sportsbook.
