Regulatory Activities and Review of the Year

The PGCB reviews in the Annual Report the work carried out by its various offices and units during the fiscal year. The text includes operational and regulatory statistics sourced from the agency's main bureaus, with data on licensee oversight, regulatory compliance, and market integrity controls.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board recalls that it was established in 2004 through the passage of the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act and has since expanded its competencies to become the regulator responsible for all aspects of gaming in the Commonwealth.

Public Communication and Harm Prevention

The report dedicates a section to the agency's outreach and prevention initiatives. The PGCB describes its presence on social media and official websites, and announces the launch of the podcast "Behind the Bets in PA." The declared aim of these channels is to increase awareness of risks such as leaving minors unattended in gaming environments, gambling addiction, and underage gaming.

The outreach activities aim to reach both consumers and operators as well as stakeholders, and are part of the agency's compliance and public education strategy.

Access to the Report and Press Contacts

The Annual Report 2025-2026 can be downloaded in PDF from the Organization Reports section under the About PGCB tab of the agency's portal. For media inquiries, the PGCB provided two contacts: Doug Harbach and Richard McGarvey, with the main press phone being (717) 346-8321.

What It Means for Operators and Market Stakeholders

The annual publication serves as a public reference on the health of the regulated market in Pennsylvania and as an official inventory of existing infrastructure and licenses. The data — product revenues, number of sites, and employment figures — provide operators, investors, and suppliers with a verifiable framework to assess scale, taxation, and gaming penetration in the Commonwealth.

The sections with figures by product type and the statistical sections from the bureaus allow for year-on-year comparisons and serve as input for business analyses and compliance decisions.
