SugarHouse Sportsbook launched in New Jersey on August 23, 2018, adding a sports betting option to its app. Lesser known Valley Forge Casino and Resort will rely on a partnership with FanDuel Sportsbook to bouy its efforts. SugarHouse, and Philly-based rival Parx Sportsbook, will get a leg up since both are already popular brand names in Eastern Pennsylvania. Only 12 legal sports betting apps will be available to the public in PA, with most operators choosing to brand their apps with their own name. Want to be updated when SugarHouse fully comes to iOS? Leave your email and we’ll let you know: This is a somewhat confusing signup process SugarHouse is working to address. Users can still sign up to bet with SugarHouse and claim their $250 deposit bonus on desktop, iOS and Android, but bets can only be placed on a desktop or Android app. We were first to report on this and explained the issue in detail here. SugarHouse parent Company Rush Street, which will rebrand SugarHouse Sportsbook to Rivers Sportsbook this summer, is having trouble getting the PlaySugarHouse app approved in the Apple iOS App Store. Three days later, SugarHouse officially launched its mobile sports betting app in PA.
On May 28, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved SugarHouse Sportsbook PA to begin its live testing period. You can sign up for SugarHouse’s sports betting here.
