Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to accept Interactive Gaming Petitions

15 March 2018

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today announced that beginning on 16 April 2018, and for a period of 120 days, licensed Pennsylvania Casinos can petition the Board for an Interactive Gaming Certificate.

If approved, a Certificate Holder may be authorized to offer interactive gaming in three categories:
  • Peer-to-peer interactive games where players compete directly against other players, like poker.
  • Non-peer-to-peer interactive games where players compete against the dealer’s hand, which simulate table games.
  • Non-peer-to-peer interactive games which simulate slot machines.
With this announcement, the Board's process of issuing Interactive Gaming Certificates will begin as follows:
  • In the first 90 days, only existing Pennsylvania casinos may petition to offer all three categories at an authorization fee of $10 million.
  • From 91-120 days, existing Pennsylvania casinos may petition to offer one or more categories at an authorization fee of $4 million per category.
At the conclusion of the 120-day period, the Gaming Control Board may authorize a qualified gaming entity to file a Petition with the Board for an Interactive Gaming Certificate upon a finding of suitability.

Act 42 of 2017 allows for a total of 13 Interactive Gaming Certificates for each type of online gaming for a total of 39 certificates.
