Yes, ESPN Sportsbook is fully legal. Previously, ESPN BET’s parent company, Penn Entertainment, used its sportsbook license to legally operate Barstool Sportsbook. In the summer of 2023, a deal was signed that allowed Penn to rebrand Barstool Sportsbook to ESPN BET.
ESPN BET is now legal in 16 states, with individual licenses to operate in each one from local regulatory authorities. This ensures that users’ personal and financial data is 100% secure when playing with ESPN BET, and that play is always fair.
