Fanatics Betting and Gaming launches sportsbook in Iowa

The digital platform is now live in 12 states.

Fanatics Holdings’ subsidiary, Fanatics Betting and Gaming, has released its Fanatics Sportsbook in Iowa. Iowa joins 11 other US states that have embraced Fanatics Sportsbook.

Players throughout the state can download the mobile app on their iOS and Android devices. The Fanatics Sportsbook allows users to search for specific bets and wager directly from their search results.

Along with the launch, the global digital sports platform will aid Catfish Bend Casino in changing its retail sportsbook from PointsBet to Fanatics.

The company said in a statement, “The Fanatics Sportsbook makes being a fan easy with fast signup, easy betting, transparent withdrawals. In the coming weeks, Fanatics Betting and Gaming will install new self-service betting kiosks from Suzohapp to better serve customers. 

“The new look Fanatics Sportsbook at Catfish Bend Casino will continue to be an upscale lounge and the place to watch the game in comfort with a multiscreen video and odds display wall, a sports bar and slot machines.”

Iowa’s PointsBet players will have their current usernames, passwords, rewards points, account balances and responsible gaming settings migrated to the Fanatic Sportsbook automatically.

Fanatics Betting and Gaming first started acquiring PointsBet’s US businesses last summer. The company soon began migrating PointsBet customers to the Fanatics Sportsbook app as part of the transition.

In other company news, Fanatics recently partnered with Make-A-Wish to help grant sports-related wishes for children in the United States with critical illnesses. As part of the agreement, Fanatics became the official sports betting partner for Make-A-Wish.

The duo also created a co-brand called Fanatics Make-A-Wish.

The strongest platforms guide players without calling attention to the guidance. When design choices feel natural, users can focus on decisions rather than deciphering the system.
