The Stars Group and Mount Airy Casino Resort launch online sports betting in Pennsylvania

Under the partnership, The Stars Group will provide customers in Pennsylvania an all-inclusive, engaging experience by offering its popular poker, casino (including slots and tables) and sports wagering products. The Stars Group and Mount Airy Casino Resort intend to launch the offerings following applicable licensing by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

"We're excited to take this next step as The Stars Group looks to broaden its presence in the United States," said Matt Primeaux, SVP Strategy & Operations, USA at The Stars Group. "In partnership with Mount Airy Casino Resort, we believe we're well positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the Commonwealth by bringing our world leading offerings to Pennsylvania players."

"As one of Pennsylvania's leaders in entertainment, offering internet sports wagering and gaming and partnering with The Stars Group is the obvious next step for us to continue diversifying our casino offerings," said Vincent Jordan, Vice President of Marketing & Gaming Operations, Mount Airy Casino Resort. "Introducing internet gaming through The Stars Group will provide compelling opportunities for our customers, particularly our younger customers, who are ready to experience the next gaming challenge."

The Stars Group intends to utilize its existing and proprietary technology and player account management platform for its offerings in Pennsylvania, providing customers with a single account, common wallet, various online and mobile depositing and withdrawal options, and a seamless offering of betting and gaming options.

The announcement follows The Stars Group and Resorts Casino Hotel's recent extension of their existing partnership in the New Jersey regulated online gaming market to include online and mobile sports wagering through The Stars Group's BetStars brand alongside the already existing online poker and casino offering available through PokerStarsNJ and PokerStarsCasinoNJ.
