iGaming platform provider White Hat Gaming has signed a long-term multi-state Player Account Management (PAM) contract with Penn National Gaming, Inc.
Penn National seeks to integrate White Hat Gaming and enter the online sports betting market, which is permitted in numerous states and in several states awaiting regulatory clearance. Penn National seeks to make a big splash by announcing real money offers online in multiple states by the third quarter of 2020.
The deal marks Penn Nationals foray into the online gaming, gambling and betting markets. A recognition of the immense potential of online sports betting. Online sports betting breaks down physical barriers, no longer will Penn have to take multiple clearances and build a physical casino where customers will be able to come in large numbers only on weekends and holidays

The platform is also modular and highly-scalable. Thus, Penn National will not have to worry about shifting to some other platform or making changes if the user base exceeds a certain number. The system will not slow down, making the whole gaming process tedious.
