Iowa Sports Betting

Until 2018, The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) effectively banned placing wagers on most sports in the states, with few exceptions. When the Supreme Court struck down that regulation, the doors were open for states to institute their own markets and legalize online sports betting if they wished.

Iowa opened up the online sports betting market in 2019, paving the way for the betting sites you see listed here to set up shop.

Offshore Sportsbooks

Iowa bettors have plenty of legit sportsbooks to utilize, so there's no need to tangle with any unsafe offshore betting sites.

We've made a conscious decision to leave off some sportsbooks that our competitors have listed because we only include legal, licensed, and regulated sportsbooks that operate under Iowa jurisdiction on this page. So that means no offshore sportsbooks like Bovada, MyBookie, and BetUS.

We take the duty of making sure you have a safe and secure sports betting experience extremely seriously, so we recommend using one of the legal online sportsbooks we have listed for you and not an offshore sportsbook.

How were the Iowa sportsbooks chosen?

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).

How did you rank all Iowa sportsbooks?

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 Does it feel laggy, messy, or outdated?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.
