Nine online sportsbooks in Pennsylvania present lots of lines, betting markets, boosts, tweets, and promotions. However, the coronavirus pandemic caused leagues to press pause.
Belarussian ice hockey and soccer, table tennis, and Taiwan basketball currently get top billing at PA online sportsbooks. I wish I could say April Fools.
