PENN Entertainment Inc. is elevating the ESPN BET Sportsbook experience with the launch of a major product feature, FanCenter. Coming this summer, the all new FanCenter creates a personalized hub within ESPN BET that will allow customers to easily find wagering markets based on their favorite teams, players, and ESPN fantasy football rosters. This dedicated hub, powered by ESPN and ESPN BET’s account linking technology, will offer fans the ultimate interconnected media, betting, and fantasy experience.

Key components of FanCenter include:

• A “For You” page of curated player props, game markets, and custom parlay offerings to help fans quickly find bets related to their favorite teams, fantasy rosters, and wagering history.

• The “Fantasy Bet Builder,” which highlights markets correlated to a user’s ESPN Fantasy roster, allowing them to back their squad in just a few taps.

Last year, ESPN Fantasy Football set an all-time mark with more than 13 million people playing the game.

“FanCenter introduces a completely new level of personalization for ESPN BET and represents our biggest product leap yet. It taps into our players’ fandom in smart, creative ways while connecting seamlessly with ESPN’s industry-leading fantasy football platform. This is what sets ESPN BET apart and football season is the perfect time to show it off,” said Aaron LaBerge, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Interactive at PENN Entertainment.
