Sport Betting in Iowa

The first time for sports betting to go live in Iowa was around August 2019, with William Hill being the first licensed operator to debut an online sportsbook. This was made possible due to its partnership with caesar entertainment and collaborating with different land-based casinos during the in-person registration era. Currently, William Hill has its sportsbook working in a total of 6 land-based casinos.

When sports betting was legalized, the government placed an in-person registration requirement to excuse that it is the best way to introduce the populace into the online sports betting world. However, several critics noted that it would stifle the industry's growth by disallowing people from registering and restricting the flow of revenue.

Progress Made in Iowa so Far

Since lifting the in-person requirements, the industry's experts have continued to site the possibility of a potential surge in price. The total amount of money that went through the different sportsbooks in the state at its first fiscal year was $368 million in terms of bets, and thus the companies raked in total revenue of $25million in total. In just the first five months into the new fiscal year, the revenue generated reached $27million, which surpasses the total revenue that was gotten in the first year.

Most of this came from the online betting market, which ended up giving credence to the argument of those who had argued for the lifting of in-person registration.
