Who is behind it
Fanatics Betting and Gaming was founded in 2021. It bought PointsBet's US business for $225m in stages that finished in 2024. That is why its Pennsylvania company still carries the PointsBet name. The standalone Fanatics Casino app launched in May 2025 in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Ontario site is fanaticscasino.ca.
Licence and what it means for you
Fanatics Casino runs in Pennsylvania under PointsBet Pennsylvania LLC, which trades as Fanatics and holds a PGCB interactive gaming operator licence under the Hollywood Penn National certificate. The company name is a leftover from the PointsBet purchase. The Pennsylvania site is casino.betfanatics.com. The standalone app went live in May 2025 in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and fanaticscasino.ca serves Ontario. Each of these regulators covers players in its own area only.
