bet365 Posts $495M Handle in First Full PA NFL Season at Hollywood Morgantown
Hollywood Casino Morgantown — the PA home license for bet365 — recorded $495.3 million in total handle across July 2025 to April 2026, with November 2025 peaking at $63.5 million. The European-headquartered operator has emerged as a meaningful PA license home in less than two years.
What Happened
Hollywood Casino Morgantown, the PENN Entertainment-operated Category 4 satellite casino that hosts the Pennsylvania license for bet365, recorded $495,260,396 in total sports wagering handle across the first 10 months of fiscal year 2025-26. November 2025 was the property's peak month at $63.5M handle, with a second wave above $50M in March 2026 around the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. April 2026 settled at $45.0M as the major US calendar cooled. Per PGCB data, the property generated $48.6M in operator revenue across the 10-month window and produced $9.34M in state tax revenue.
Background & Context
bet365 launched in Pennsylvania in mid-2024 under license through Hollywood Casino Morgantown — its fifth US state entry after New Jersey, Colorado, Ohio, and Virginia. The Stoke-on-Trent-based operator differentiates on live in-play betting depth, live streaming on soccer/tennis/basketball, and the Edit My Bet feature that allows changes to open parlay legs. Hollywood Morgantown opened in December 2020 as PA's second Category 4 mini-casino and serves the Berks County/Reading corridor with 750 slot machines and 30 table games.
What It Means for PA Bettors
For PA live-betting and international-sports bettors, bet365's sustained handle growth signals long-term commitment to the PA market — the operator is unlikely to follow the path of Unibet (which exited in 2023). For competitors, the $495M FY25-26 YTD volume puts bet365 on the same scale as several established PA brands, suggesting the European challenger has cleared the credibility hurdle US-side. For Hollywood Morgantown specifically, the bet365 partnership now represents one of the most successful Category 4 satellite-casino licensing arrangements in PA history.
