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.

• Integrated functionality with ESPN BET’s player insights feature, enabling users to quickly browse recent player stats and trends to inform their prop betting selections.

• Quick access to view current Mint Club promos and rewards.

In addition to fantasy-related markets within FanCenter, a new “Find a Bet” icon on the ESPN Fantasy app will allow players to view markets related to their roster and add selections directly to their ESPN BET bet slip. 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.

“FanCenter is the perfect combination of fandom, fantasy and personalized betting all wrapped into the ESPN BET betting experience. FanCenter showcases how we can serve fans across our platforms in a way that nobody else in the market can because of our industry-leading ESPN Fantasy platform and account-linking capabilities,” said Mike Morrison, Vice President ESPN BET and ESPN Fantasy.

ESPN BET, the official sportsbook of ESPN, has launched in Washington D.C. via PENN Entertainment Inc. ESPN BET is now live in 20 U.S. jurisdictions.

Fans in the District now have access to the state-of-the-art mobile and web betting platform, which offers a variety of markets across sports and leagues from around the world, along with daily odds boosts, profit boosts, featured parlays, live betting markets, custom offers, exclusive promotions and integrations with ESPN content and personalities.

“We’re thrilled to launch ESPN BET in our nation’s capital and expand our presence across the Washington metropolitan area. Along with our partner ESPN, we’re excited to introduce our deeply integrated media and betting experience and further engage with the D.C. area’s passionate sports community,” said Aaron LaBerge, Chief Technology Officer of PENN Entertainment.

ESPN BET offers a unique account linking feature that allows fans to link their ESPN BET and ESPN accounts to seamlessly track upcoming, live and settled bets within the ESPN app and on ESPN.com. Account linking can be accessed either via a prompt within the ESPN BET app or by visiting settings within the latest versions of the ESPN BET or ESPN apps or ESPN.com.

PENN secured market access in Washington, D.C. through a deal with Monumental Sports & Entertainment. The deal also designates ESPN BET as a proud sports betting partner of Monumental and its teams, the Washington Capitals, Wizards and Mystics.
