Iowa Launches Official Betting

If you’re looking for a great place to bet on sports, you’ll want to check out official betting. This type of betting is not illegal, but there are some rules you need to know before you make a bet. It’s not recommended that you place bets on games you don’t plan to watch live. In addition, don’t forget to take your time and read all of the rules carefully. You don’t want to lose your money because you bet on a game that doesn’t happen.

The NFL has been aggressive in infusing its broadcasts with gambling content, and it’s now planning to incorporate it into the stadium experience as well. In April, the NFL announced that DraftKings, FanDuel, and Caesars would be its official sports-betting partners. The NFL anticipates that this new revenue stream will generate $270 million for the league this year. It’s unclear whether or not this will make the NFL more popular to fans.

Unlike some other states, Iowa launched its sports betting market in August 2019. While other states took anywhere from six months to a year to launch their gambling operations, Iowa has been moving at a fast pace. Governor Kim Reynolds signed SF 617 in January 2019.
