Yes. After PASPA was overturned in 2018, Iowa legalized online sports betting in 2019.

You no longer have to register with online sportsbooks in-person in Iowa. Pre-COVID this was a requirement, but it was removed due to social distancing protocols and is not expected to return in the future.

Now, you simply need to click on one of our claim buttons and fork over some details to complete the sign-up process. You will be required to provide the following:

• Full Name

Iowa has an extensive vetting and approval process that all sportsbooks must go through before they are granted approval to operate in the state.

After launching, they are regulated by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC).

There are many different criteria upon which one can judge a sportsbook. In our reviews, we make sure to highlight the following criteria:

• Bonus Offers - How valuable is the sign up bonus? Does this sportsbook offer promotions for existing customers or neglect you once your foot's in the door? This is an opportunity to get value, so thoroughly evaluating bonus and promotional offers are very important to determine the true value of a sportsbook.
• Betting Variety - Does a sportsbook offer advanced ways to play like Same Game Parlays? How is the live betting? Can you access an online casino from your sports betting account? A sportsbook must satisfy the needs of many different types of players to be considered elite
• Mobile Experience - How is the sportsbook's mobile app? Is it available on iPhone and Android? Most bets are placed via a mobile device these days, so this is a major element of any sportsbook's overall experience.
• Betting Experience - How does a sportsbook feel? Is the website or app laggy? Does it feel laggy, messy, or outdated? You want to make sure you'll actually have fun on a betting site, not frustrated by your time on the book.
• Payment Options - How many payment options are available? How long do payouts take? Are there minimum requirements for payments and withdrawals? If you want to be secure with your hard-earned money, then this is a crucial element of any sportsbook.
• Customer Support - If an issue arises, will you be able to easily get in contact with customer support? Is it hard to get in contact with an actual person? Hopefully, you won't need it but having a spare tire in your trunk never hurts.
