The best bets and resources to make you more profitable
Fully online mobile sports betting became legal in Iowa starting January 1st, 2021. Technically, sports betting became legal in Iowa in 2019, but prior to 1/1/2021 users had to sign up in person at a casino and were not able to do so online. No longer! Iowans can sign up, deposit, and place a bet all online within Iowa state lines.

Caesars Sportsbook is a great sportsbook, with a ton of good promotions and odds boosts. We like to call Caesars Sportsbook the OddsBoost god because of the sheer volume of odds boosts they have on a daily basis. They also have some really good promos as well, highlighted below.
BetMGM also has a lot of odds boosts and promos to take advantage of. It also has a really nice user interface when scrolling through the different types of markets/props you want to bet. It’s very intuitive and easy to navigate. Some of the promos are highlighted below:
BetRivers also has a nice signup bonus in which they will deposit match up to $250. Other than that, they have nice daily promos and odds boosts that they call “House Specials.” We love betting those House Specials, as they normally have some profitable bets to make.
PointsBet follows suit with the previous books that offer a generous sign-up bonus. New users can get up to $2000 in 2 free bets. They also have daily odds boosts and generally a sleek interface that is easy to navigate.
BetFred is only legal in 4 states and isn’t the most well-known name in the US, but don’t let that fool you- this is a great sportsbook. They have actually been in business since 1967 (founded in England), so BetFred has decades of experience and has a good reputation in the industry.
Sure does! They were not the first state to legalize mobile sports betting, but they certainly have taken the most advantage of it being legal.
The most of any state in the US, with 14 total books available. They are BetMGM, BetMonarch, BetRivers, Betway, DraftKings, Elite, FanDuel, FoxBet, Betfred, Caesars, theScore, PointsBet, WynnBET, Hard Rock, Elite Sportsbook, Bally Bet, and Unibet.
Because of how many sportsbooks are legal in Iowa, they also made sure that they would offer fair pricing.
Iowa is easy. You can do everything necessary to get signed up all from your phone/computer. Some states require an in-person sign-up, but Iowa is not one of those states.
They also make signing up and depositing fairly simple as well. This is detailed in the next section, but for the sign-up process, the sportsbook will ask you a couple of personal questions to verify your identity. Then once you are signed up you can set up the payment method by syncing the app to your account.
Only two rules in Iowa.
