About theScore Bet in New York
theScore Bet returned to the New York market in December 2025 when PENN Entertainment unwound its ESPN BET partnership and reactivated theScore brand. The book's headline feature is native integration with theScore sports app - bettors can move from box scores and player news to a live betslip in two taps without switching apps. PENN Play loyalty stacks with Hollywood Casino and other PENN properties.
