Barstool Sportsbook Dead? Heres What Happened in 2026

Hey there, sports fans! Wondering if Barstool Sportsbook is still in the game? Nope, it shut down back in late 2023. Penn Entertainment sold Barstool Sports back to founder Dave Portnoy for just $1 and switched their betting app to ESPN Bet instead.​

Picture this: Barstool launched its sportsbook app in 2020, rolling out in spots like Pennsylvania and Michigan. They hoped to grab fans with Dave’s wild personality, but giants like FanDuel kept the lead. By August 2023, Penn bailed for a huge $2 billion ESPN deal, closing the book by November.wikipedia+2​

Today in 2026, Barstool rocks on as a media powerhouse. Think podcasts, merch drops, and hilarious content—no betting app of their own. They make bank through affiliate links to other sportsbooks like DraftKings. Skip those sketchy “expansion” rumors; they’re not backed by real sources.mcc-covid.crc.pitt+1​
