LevelUp recently announced its first partnership with a casino, Philly’s Sugarhouse.

Level Up, the Boston-based startup that was part of the first DreamIt Ventures class, has been expanding its reach in Philly. This summer, it announced its 500th local partner. It currently has more than 600 local partners, said Level Up community manager Jenna Flateman Posner.
