PGCB 'Licensed Interactive Gaming Certificate Holders and Operators' document, updated 4/30/2026, linked from https://gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov/licensing/expanded-gaming-information-and-links. It lists each Interactive Gaming Certificateholder, the licensed Interactive Gaming Operator acting on its behalf, the types of interactive gaming authorized and the authorized websites/apps. Included above are only entries authorized for Slots and/or Table Games (i.e. online casino); the WSOP entry under Chester Downs is authorized for Poker only and is excluded, and the document's 'Former Interactive Gaming Sites' section (Spin Palace, Betway, Jackpot City, Unibet, PointsBet, Barstool, ESPNBET, BetAmerica, FoxBet, TwinSpires and the retired Wind Creek platform) is excluded. Cross-checks against PGCB's live brand page https://gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov/interactive-gaming-operators, which lists 24 brands but states no certificate holder; that page additionally lists Bally Bet, which the 4/30/2026 document does not carry as an interactive gaming website.
