Betfred’s time in Pennsylvania’s online sports betting scene is coming to a close. The U.K.-based bookmaker is officially ending its digital operations in the Keystone State at the end of July.
Good to know
- Betfred will shut down its Pennsylvania online sportsbook on July 31.
- Players can cash out or settle bets until the end of the month.
- Unsettled wagers will be paid by check after the closure.
The operator, which partnered with Wind Creek Bethlehem casino, has already stopped taking new online wagers in Pennsylvania. Current customers still have access to cashout features and the ability to settle existing bets, but all online activity will be shut off by July 31. Any unsettled wagers after that date will be resolved with mailed checks.
There’s no official word on whether Betfred will continue managing the retail sportsbook at Wind Creek Bethlehem, though many expect the relationship will at least partially remain.
Betfred’s departure from Pennsylvania is just the latest in a series of withdrawals from the American market. The company previously exited Iowa and Washington late in 2024, closing both retail and online operations. Earlier in 2025, it pulled the plug on its Nevada retail sportsbook, leaving Pennsylvania as its final U.S. online market—until now.

Other states such as Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, Maryland, and Virginia were also abandoned when Betfred couldn’t carve out a strong competitive position. The company hasn’t issued a statement on its Pennsylvania exit, but the decision fits a broader pattern for international betting brands that have struggled to keep pace with dominant U.S. operators.
Not the Only One Leaving
Betfred isn’t alone in stepping back. Super Group, the owner of the Betway brand, recently closed its U.S. sportsbooks after determining the business model would take too long to reach profitability. Earlier this month, Super Group also announced it would pull its online casino products out of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, citing regulatory costs.
Tipico, another European operator, left the American market after MGM Resorts’ LeoVegas acquired it in 2024. Tipico had been live in four states but never gained much traction. Meanwhile, 888 Holdings chose to walk away from its joint venture with Authentic Brands Group, paying a $50 million penalty in the process.
