What happened to ESPN BET
ESPN and PENN ended their deal early, and ESPN BET became theScore Bet on 1 December 2025. Accounts moved across automatically. ESPN has since named DraftKings as its official sportsbook partner.
What it does well
theScore Bet offers live streaming of over 150,000 events for funded accounts, cross-sport parlays and teasers, along with profit boosts and Injury Insurance promotions. In Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia it links with Hollywood Casino. PENN cut its Interactive segment's loss to $18.3m in the third quarter of 2026 from $76.6m a year earlier, so the business is narrowing losses rather than retreating.
Prices
Our feed has not returned fresh prices for theScore Bet recently, so its rating counts prices as average. A third-party review says props and futures sometimes carry a slight premium.
Trust
New Jersey fined Penn Sports Interactive $78,000 in October 2026 for accepting wagers on unauthorized events or bet types, the largest penalty in that batch. Massachusetts fined it $10,000 in 2025, under the ESPN BET name, after marketing mail reached people on the voluntary exclusion list.
What we could not check
We found no withdrawal times, so we have not scored payments. A third-party review reports a $10 minimum deposit, and that desktop betting may need a location plug-in.
