Iowa Online Sports Betting 2021

Even if betting in the majority of the US states is frowned upon, the state of Iowa took a step forward.

Moreover, there have been some important changes in IA gambling laws in recent years. Both sports betting and fantasy sports are considered legal in The Hawkeye State.

The future is getting brighter and brighter for all the Iowa online sports betting fans. Soon, Iowans will be able to enjoy IA online sports betting and download various sports betting apps. Although they will have to register in person, all the other functions will be available online.

When in Iowa, you can find sportsbooks shops and bet on Iowa online sports betting sites. All of it due to the law made by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. Along with a valid license, the casinos all over Iowa will soon be able to accept sports bets. Everybody is eagerly waiting for it to happen.

Apart from the two mentioned legal forms of bets, Iowa online sports betting on races is legal too. Unfortunately, online casinos and online poker are still illegal in IA. On the other hand, land-based casinos and racetracks are completely legal in this state. As a matter of fact, there are more than a dozen commercial casinos available in Iowa. And let’s not forget the two tribal Iowan casinos.

The gamblers of legal age from the area can visit these brick and mortar casinos and play their favorite games. Some of the games you could expect are poker, slot machines, table games and soon, sports bets.

Plus, there is speculation that tons of new mobile sportsbook apps are coming to Iowa. Iowans will have to register in person in order to get the app. However, from January 1st, 2021 they will be able to do that online, too.

Some brands have announced that they will be probably launching Iowa online sports betting apps. Hopefully, the launch of at least some of them will happen soon. Let us take a look at what we can be expecting soon:

Elite Sportsbook 
Fanduel 
FoxBet 
Hard Rock Sportsbook
DraftKings 
William Hill 
Pointsbet 

Placing a wager via a mobile app is quite simple and convenient for people who like to bet but are constantly on the move. So, what should be the criteria for finding the best sports betting app for yourself?

First of all, you will need to find the app that you can download for your operating system (Android, iOS). Check the store on your mobile device if you are on the App Store. However, if you are using an Android device, you will have to visit the brand’s site and download the APK and install it on your phone.

Secondly, you will need to check the available payment methods. If you want to wager on sports events you will need to deposit some funds and add a payment method. In case the operator doesn’t support some of your preferred payment options, maybe choosing another brand is the wisest decision.

How to Place a Sports Bet Online

Placing a sports bet online looks pretty much the same as placing a bet in person. Both types of betting have their own benefits. But for Iowa online sports betting you will have complete privacy, unlimited time on your hands and flexibility in terms of location. The bettors who choose mobile or Iowa online sports betting can wager anytime and at any place.

If any of the major operators decide to launch their online sportsbooks in Iowa you will be able to bet on their websites easily. The point often overlooked is that you will need to be a member of the brand’s community. In other words, you will have to register as a user. In order to do that, you will need an ID to prove your identity (passport, personal ID, SSN).

Additionally, your name, surname and all the other details need to match the ones on your ID. Plus, they will probably have to match those on your payment method as well. That is, you won’t be able to use someone’s payment method (for example, someone’s credit card, etc).

Let’s go back to creating an account at a certain operator’s website for a second. No matter if you have to do it in person or you can apply online, there will probably be some benefits for the new users. Especially if the brand has recently launched its sportsbook platform. The bettors can expect all sorts of promotions and bountiful bonuses.

Upon successful registration, users will be able to deposit some funds and enjoy Iowa online sports betting.

Where to Register In-Person for Iowa Online Sports Betting

As we already mentioned, the registration process for Iowa online sports betting can be done exclusively in person. Anyhow, that will apply only for the member who opts to register before 2021. After January 1st, 2021, the Iowan bettor will be able to sign up online in order to place a sports bet. For now, it is a bit difficult to say where precisely the bettors can do that.

But, the most precise information would be that the bettors of Iowa should be able to register at certain retail sportsbooks. Moreover, these sportsbooks will have to be located at Iowa land-based casinos. Make sure to stay tuned for more updates on where you can register and what you might need to register successfully.
