After forming a transformative partnership in August, PENN Entertainment and the Worldwide Leader in Sports will launch ESPN BET on Tuesday morning.
While other media companies, including Bally’s and Fubo, have failed to gain traction with sportsbook partnerships, ESPN will look to capitalize on its globally recognized brand. The network receives approximately 117 million unique views a month, an amount that dwarfs Barstool Sports by nearly 15-fold.
