And with barely a whimper, ESPN Bet was taken out behind the woodshed Monday morning and put out of its misery, replaced with theScore Bet.
Users of the ESPN Bet product were instructed to update their apps a little after 8 a.m. ET, and once they did, the ESPN Bet icon was replaced with theScore Bet icon.
Outside of that — and the color change from mint green to electric blue — the app looks, feels, and plays the same.
The rebrand marks the end of what can only be described as a spectacular failure for Penn Entertainment, which had pinned its sports betting hopes on the ESPN name.
