Overall Summary
Parx is a decent offering for Pennsylvania residents looking to dive into sports betting. The sportsbook offers a variety of sports, bets, and banking options; however, the sports betting platform is just average at best. The mobile app lags top competitors and could use an upgrade.

Considerations
- The mobile app does not offer everything the desktop version does, including bettor education.

Bets Offered
Parx offers parlays, teasers, Asian handicaps, round robins, futures, props, and straight wagers (moneyline, total, spread).

The variety of bets is well-rounded, with multiple spreads and totals available for most games.
Benefits

Customer Service
Parx has email support and live chat support available from 12 pm – 12 am EST. Customer support agents are knowledgeable and helpful, and responded promptly during my testing. Customer support is not available on the desktop version of the site. Also, when you open a live chat in the mobile app, you are unable to go back to the main menu. Even when your conversation ends, you must close and reopen the app. This is a minor nuisance that will hopefully be fixed soon.
Mobile Betting
Parx offers a simple mobile app, allowing bettors to navigate between sports and bets easily.
Benefits
- Navigating to place a bet is easy, especially with the search bar function.
- The mobile app offers all the statistics and features of the desktop version.
Considerations
- The app does not include any of the educational guides offered on the website.
- If you accidentally press the live chat button you must ask a question. Otherwise you have to restart the app.

Reputation

Education and Research
Parx offers first-time sports bettors an educational guide on the Parx website but failed to include the guide in the mobile app.
Benefits
- The PDF guide on the Parx website does a great job of explaining different bet types. Examples are listed for specific sports, such as football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc.
Considerations
- The mobile app does not include education.
- There are not statistics or matchup previews in the app, unlike DraftKings.

Other Notes
Casino Games
In addition to sports betting, Parx offers online casino games such as slot machines, baccarat, live dealer tables games, video poker, roulette, and blackjack. These games are NOT yet available in the Parx Casino Sportsbook app. You can play online by signing up at Parx online casino.
Does Parx offer online poker? Parx offers video poker through their online casino but does not offer any players vs player poker.
Promotions
When this review was written in August, Parx was only offering one promotion. This promotion gave bettors one risk-free bet (up to $250). A risk-free bet means that if your first bet placed is a losing one, Parx will reimburse you the amount of the loss. While this promotion is better than nothing, it doesn’t compare to other Pennsylvania sportsbooks such as SugarHouse.
Final Thoughts
Parx is an above-average sports betting option for residents of Pennsylvania, offering a variety of sports and prop bets, as well as multiple banking options. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t feel complete since you can’t play casino games and have limited mobile access to educational pages. SugarHouse is a better well-rounded option for first-time bettors and has already worked out all of its initial kinks and bottlenecks.
Methodology
