Iowa legalized sports betting in 2019. The online and retail launch happened simultaneously in August 2019. Initially, there was an in-person registration requirement for online betting, but that expired at the start of 2021. Iowa recorded more than $2 billion in total bets in 2021.
Iowa bettors have nearly a dozen mobile betting apps to choose from, with more on the way. The list features many of the top U.S. and global operators, including DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, PointsBet, BetRivers, BetMGM, BetFred, Bally Bet, theScore Bet, Elite Sportsbook, Q Casino Sportsbook and Hard Rock.
In July 2021, the sportsbook signed an agreement with Casino Queen Marquette for market access in Iowa as the casino's second sportsbook licensee. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission approved the deal. Bet365 is currently live in New Jersey and has a license to offer online sports betting in Colorado.
