ESPN Bet looks to join NY sports betting market within next month
02 Sep 2024
Earlier this month, Penn Entertainment executives targeted the end of this month to launch ESPN Bet in the Empire State.
Now, according to a report from Newsday, the company expects the online sportsbook to go live “sometime in the next few weeks.”
“We’re ready to go,” Mark Walker, executive vice president for ESPN Bet, recently told Newsday.
Walker noted that it was “reasonable to believe” that ESPN Bet NY would launch within the next month, noting that he didn’t see any red flags or hurdles that would prevent that from happening.
During Penn Entertainment’s most recent earnings call, Aaron LaBerge, the company’s chief technology officer, said that the hope was for ESPN Bet to go live “in late September.”
