Circa Sports is on its way to Illinois, teaming up with Full House Resorts to bring sports gambling to the Land of Lincoln.
Circa is set to open a physical casino at the upcoming American Place Casino in Waukegan, Illinois and will also be introducing their online sportsbook app in the state.
Partnership with Circa Sports Illinois
Circa Sports is just one of many operators from across the country that have been drawn to Illinois following the legalization of sports betting.
Although Circa is a new player in Illinois, the sports betting industry is well-established in states such as Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada.
Derek Stevens, founder of Circa Sports, believes that accepting bets in Illinois will be a major milestone for the company.
We are excited to expand our top-notch sports betting and hospitality services to Illinois. This is a significant milestone for us, as we have built strong connections with Midwest bettors at our Las Vegas casinos. Bringing our services to Illinois is a big step forward for us.
Thanks to the recent contract signed between the two companies, Full House Resorts is now set to collaborate with Circa in Illinois. As part of this partnership, Full House is in the process of developing a new game for this venture.
Momentary game at American Place
Even though American Place Casino won’t be open for a while, Circa is still able to establish a preliminary partnership with the casino.
Market access agreements are crucial for the expansion of a sportsbook into new territories. With a secured agreement, Circa now has access to one of the largest gaming markets in the US.
After American Place is officially opened, a retail sportsbook featuring the Circa logo will be the main attraction. Full House intends to introduce a temporary game at the venue before 2025.
The casino, appropriately named “The Temporary by American Place,” is scheduled to open in a few months.
Circa will have an early chance to join the sports betting industry with the impending launch of The Temporary.
In other words, Illinois casinos will soon have access to the Circa Sports app.
According to Alex Stolyar, the Chief Development Officer of Full House, Circa is the ideal sports betting partner for the company.
We promised to provide Illinois with a premier gaming and entertainment hub that integrates expert sports betting. After witnessing Derek and his team’s innovative approach to sports betting at Circa, we knew they were the ideal partners for American Place.
If things pick up speed, Circa could surpass other sports betting websites and emerge as the eighth online bookmaker in Illinois.
