Prediction Markets in Pennsylvania

Status: available. Last verified October 2, 2026.

Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket US are regulated federally by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Pennsylvania has not sued them or sent them cease-and-desist letters. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board opposes them: in an April 30, 2026 letter to the CFTC, it said a contract on the outcome of a sporting event is sports wagering and noted that these apps accept 18-year-olds, while Pennsylvania sportsbooks require bettors to be 21. Read the letter

Pennsylvania is in the Third Circuit, which ruled for Kalshi in a New Jersey case on April 6, 2026. The Sixth Circuit (Ohio and Tennessee) and Ninth Circuit (Nevada) ruled the other way, so the Supreme Court may settle the question. Third Circuit opinion

In July 2026, Representative Tarik Khan introduced House Bill 2711, which would regulate prediction markets in Pennsylvania with a minimum age of 21 and self-exclusion rules. It was referred to the House Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities Committee. Covers report

Prediction markets matter for matched betting because they do not limit winning traders. Check each app for current availability in Pennsylvania before you deposit.

Online Casinos in Pennsylvania

Online casinos are legal in Pennsylvania. They launched in July 2019, and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board licenses every site. The Board lists approved sites on its interactive gaming operators page. Online poker is also legal.

Sweepstakes casinos are not licensed by the Board. In April 2025, the Board's enforcement counsel told lawmakers it considers them illegal online gambling and had sent 18 cease-and-desist letters to sweepstakes operators. Covers report The Sweepstakes Casino Overview explains how they work.

Pennsylvania Sports Betting Law and Timeline

  • October 30, 2017: Governor Tom Wolf signed House Bill 271 as Act 42 of 2017. It legalized retail and online sports betting once federal law allowed it, legalized online casinos, and made unlicensed sports wagering a crime. Fox Rothschild summary, PGCB 2017-2018 annual report
  • November 15, 2018: Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course became the first sportsbook in Pennsylvania to take bets, regulated by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. PGCB revenue release
  • May 28, 2019: Online sports betting began when SugarHouse Casino started a three-day online test period. Current online sportsbooks are listed on the Board's licensed operators page. PGCB revenue release
  • July 2019: Online casino games launched, starting with three casinos the week of July 15. PGCB revenue release
  • September 17, 2024: The Board confirmed it had sent offshore sportsbook Bovada a cease-and-desist letter at the end of August 2024, after Bovada took bets on the Little League World Series. Bonus.com report
  • September 3, 2025: The Board warned bettors against illegal offshore sports betting sites, saying player protections apply only to Board-regulated operators. PGCB press release
  • April 6, 2026: The Third Circuit, which covers Pennsylvania, ruled for Kalshi in KalshiEX LLC v. Flaherty, a New Jersey case, holding that federal law preempts state gaming laws for sports event contracts on CFTC-regulated exchanges. Third Circuit opinion
  • April 30, 2026: The Board told the CFTC that sports event contracts are sports wagering and should not be allowed outside state regulation. PGCB letter to the CFTC

Offshore and unlicensed betting

Pennsylvania law explicitly makes unlicensed sports betting a crime. Under 4 Pa.C.S. § 13C04, added by Act 42 of 2017, it is unlawful to offer sports wagering or accept a sports bet from anyone physically located in Pennsylvania without a Gaming Control Board certificate, or to knowingly provide services to such an operation. A first offense is a first-degree misdemeanor with a fine of up to $150,000 for an individual. A repeat offense is a second-degree felony. A separate rule, 4 Pa.C.S. § 1518(a)(3.1), makes it a felony for an unlicensed operator to accept online casino wagers without verifying a player's age, identity and location.

The law does not make placing a bet with an offshore site a separate crime for the bettor. It does say that a person who engages in sports wagering from a location where sports wagering is unauthorized forfeits all winnings to the state's problem gambling fund. The Board sent offshore sportsbook Bovada a cease-and-desist letter in August 2024 (Bonus.com report), and in September 2025 it warned bettors that offshore sites offer no player protections (PGCB press release).

Pennsylvania Sports Betting FAQ

Yes. Retail sports betting has been legal in Pennsylvania since November 15, 2018, and online sports betting since May 2019. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board licenses and regulates every sportsbook.

You must be 21 or older to place a sports bet in Pennsylvania, online or in person.

Yes. You need to be physically located in Pennsylvania when you place the bet, not a resident. Sportsbook apps check your location before accepting a wager.

Kalshi operates in Pennsylvania under federal CFTC regulation. The state has not sued Kalshi, and the Third Circuit, which covers Pennsylvania, ruled for Kalshi in a New Jersey case on April 6, 2026. The Gaming Control Board says sports event contracts are sports wagering. Check the Kalshi app for current availability in Pennsylvania.

Yes. Online sports betting, online casinos and online poker are all legal and licensed by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. Sweepstakes casinos are not licensed, and the Board considers them illegal online gambling.

Pennsylvania law does not ban credit card deposits. A bill to ban them was still in committee as of February 2026. Some sportsbooks, including DraftKings and FanDuel, no longer accept credit cards, and some card issuers decline gambling transactions.

No offshore sportsbook is licensed in Pennsylvania, and offering sports bets to people in the state without a license is a crime under 4 Pa.C.S. § 13C04. The law does not create a separate crime for the bettor, but it says a person who engages in sports wagering from a location where it is unauthorized forfeits all winnings. Offshore sites also offer none of the Board's player protections.
