Sportsbook bet365 has announced its official launch in Iowa, along with a multi-year partnership with the 17,500-square-foot riverboat gaming venue, Casino Queen Marquette. The operator has already launched within four other states: Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey and Colorado.
Sean Bateman, General Manager of Casino Queen Marquette, said, “We’re thrilled to work with bet365 to provide players with an in-demand and trusted source for safe online wagering. It’s an exciting time for our guests and passionate sports fans in Iowa, who will benefit from fantastic site features and attractive offers.”
The new website will include same-game parlay, cash out and edit bet features, as well as a large range of sports and games on which to bet. Early payouts will also be part of bet365’s options for: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and NCAAB games.
Bet365 has put forth an introductory offer for qualifying new customers with its namesake number: “Bet $1, Get $365 in Bonus Bets.” Bettors wishing to sign up must be over 21, physically located in the state of Iowa and adhere to terms and conditions.
A spokesperson with bet365 said, “We are incredibly excited to welcome the Hawkeye State to bet365. From Sioux City to Marquette and everywhere in between, Iowans will now have access to our sportsbook product.”
A month ago, bet365 also signed a hybrid revenue deal with XLMedia. The sportsbook operator and affiliate will work together to grow within North America and offer responsible gambling education. A week later, bet365 also became part of a Canadian player education program with the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA).
