Hacksaw Gaming has strengthened its presence in the United States with the launch of a selection of its online casino titles on bet365’s Pennsylvania platform, deepening its partnership with the global operator as competition intensifies in the country’s largest regulated iGaming market.
The rollout, delivered via Light & Wonder’s aggregation platform, gives Pennsylvania players access to several of Hacksaw’s flagship slot titles, including Wanted Dead or a Wild, Le Bandit, Stormforged, and Densho.
Hacksaw’s US Strategy
The Pennsylvania launch builds on an existing commercial relationship between Hacksaw Gaming and bet365, an operator founded in 2000 that remains one of the most established names in online gambling. Expanding its content offering in the state lets bet365 strengthen its casino portfolio, while Hacksaw Gaming gains a foothold in a market that continues to set national benchmarks for online gaming performance.
The iGaming development arm of Swedish-listed Hacksaw AB has increasingly relied on partnerships with major operators and established aggregation platforms to accelerate its US expansion. As expected, it has navigated all that while meeting strict regulatory and technical requirements.
Tapping Into Pennsylvania’s Thriving iGaming Market
The timing of the launch coincides with another record-breaking year for Pennsylvania’s online gambling sector. According to data reported by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the state surpassed $2.5 billion in annual iGaming revenue in 2025, cementing its position as the largest online casino market in the United States.
November marked the second consecutive month in which iGaming revenue exceeded $240 million, reflecting a sustained upward trend rather than a short-term spike. Overall, Pennsylvania’s iGaming revenue grew by roughly 27 percent year over year. This was driven by both higher participation and improved platform features, faster payouts, as well as wider adoption of secure digital payment options.
The state’s decision earlier in 2025 to join the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement also helped accelerate growth, particularly in online poker. By allowing Pennsylvania players to compete with those in Nevada, New Jersey, and Michigan, the agreement expanded player pools, increased tournament activity, and made regulated platforms more attractive to both players and operators.
The state’s iGaming success has translated into substantial tax contributions, with revenue supporting local share account grants that fund infrastructure, public services, and community projects across the state. This consistent flow of tax income has reinforced the state’s reputation as a stable and commercially attractive environment for online gambling.
Suppliers like Hacksaw Gaming see this combination of scale, regulatory clarity, and sustained growth as a sign that Pennsylvania is a key consideration of any US expansion strategy. Even better, as the market heads into 2026, continued innovation, strong operator partnerships, and rising consumer trust are likely to keep the state at the forefront of the national iGaming landscape.
