Fans can now track live, upcoming, and settled bets by linking accounts via the ESPN app and ESPN.com, PENN Entertainment and ESPN announced Friday. Users can connect their ESPN BET and ESPN accounts for exclusive benefits and personalized experiences.

ESPN and ESPN BET account linking will bring users more personalized bets and timely promotions

Account linking between ESPN BET and ESPN creates “an even more deeply integrated media and betting experience.” By linking accounts, fans have the ability to seamlessly track upcoming, live, and settled bets within the ESPN app and on ESPN.com.

More importantly, the product enhancement will bring fans more personalized bets and timely promotions based on their favorite sports, teams, players, and fantasy rosters.

Account linking can be accessed either via a prompt within the ESPN BET app or by visiting settings within the latest versions of the betting app, ESPN apps, or ESPN.com.

Account linking allows ESPN to better serve and engage sports bettors

Players can link their respective accounts by navigating to the “Settings” Tab within the ESPN App. Another option is navigating to the “My Account” menu from within the ESPN BET App.

“Bringing this new feature to market is an important step as we work to create a fully interconnected media and betting ecosystem between ESPN and ESPN BET,” said Aaron LaBerge, Chief Technology Officer at PENN Entertainment.

“Account linking allows us to better serve and engage our users by unlocking key personalization and promotional capabilities. This feature is just the beginning of deeper integrations that will further differentiate the ESPN [betting] experience.”

Mike Morrison, Vice President, ESPN BET and ESPN Fantasy, added: “Linking ESPN and ESPN BET accounts is part of the seamless, integrated betting experience we envisioned from the start. No other company in the betting space can offer the level of personalization or interconnected experience.”
