PlayStar Casino secures market access in Pennsylvania
Online casino brand enters multi-year deal with Caesars Entertainment ahead of making its US market debut in New Jersey later this year
PlayStar Casino, the challenger online casino brand set to debut in New Jersey later this year, has secured market access in Pennsylvania after entering into a multi-year deal with Caesars.
The addition of Pennsylvania will double PlayStar Casino’s total addressable market by way of population and gross gaming revenue when it launches in the state in Q2 next year, subject to regulatory approval.
The market entry will also allow PlayStar Casino to capitalise on the spill-over effect from its branding and marketing activity in the Garden State, with local campaigns also planned.
With the ink on the deal only just dry, the operator is getting straight down to work and will be making its submissions to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board without delay.
PlayStar Casino is powered by the GiG platform and has been established to provide an online casino experience like no other to players in states across the US.
At the heart of its online casino offering is the immersive experience that visitors receive each and every time they walk through PlayStar Casino’s digital doors.
This will be achieved through personalisation, engagement and exemplary customer service that makes players feel like they are the star of the show.
Adam Noble, Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer at PlayStar Casino, said: “We are thrilled to have secured market access in Pennsylvania through this multi-year deal with Caesars, allowing us to double our addressable market.
“This is the second market access deal we have secured after announcing our entry into New Jersey earlier in the year and will continue to seek such partnerships as we expand the PlayStar Casino brand.”
“We are looking forward to working through the regulatory process with the Pennsylvanian Gaming Control Board (PGCB) and all going well look forward to launching to players in Pennsylvania in the first half of next year.”

Be #GiftSmart: Scratch the Idea of Gifting Scratch & Win Tickets to Kids
BCLC reminds adults to gift responsibly this holiday season
With the holiday season in full swing, BCLC is reminding British Columbians to gift responsibly and scratch lottery products from their shopping lists for kids.
“Scratch & Win tickets can make great stocking stuffers for the adults in your life, but they’re not for kids,” said Ryan McCarthy, BCLC’s Director of Player Health. “The research shows that children who have early encounters with gambling are four times more likely to develop riskier gambling behaviour as they grow up. While people are out shopping for those last-minute gifts, BCLC wants adults to be aware of the potential risks associated with gifting lottery products to children and to consider safer alternatives.”
While Scratch & Win tickets are among the most common ways kids can be introduced to gambling, children are increasingly exposed to various online forms, such as gambling streams.
“With the convergence of gaming and gambling, youth are becoming more exposed to gambling content in online spaces like streaming sites, where creators are able to live-stream their own gambling, usually while playing online slots and instant games,” said Dr. Luke Clark, Director for Gambling Research at UBC. “Our research at the UBC Centre for Gambling shows that a higher frequency of watching online gambling streams is associated with a more positive attitude towards gambling and a high intention to gamble in the future.”
In B.C., it is illegal to sell lottery products to anyone under the age of 19 and BCLC encourages adults to have conversations with the kids in their lives about the risks associated with gambling.
“Open and honest conversations are crucial when it comes to navigating childhood exposure to gambling,” said McCarthy, who shared the following tips to adults:
- Monitor for gambling-related lifestyle changes. For example, developing a positive attitude towards gambling or a preoccupation with video games or streaming sites.
- Be a positive role model. Exhibit safer gambling behaviour and talk about the risks.
- Limit exposure. Monitor kids’ online activities and discourage engagement with gambling content. Explain how gambling is based on chance.
