The majority of these land-based casinos are open 24/7 and accept all players aged 21 and above. You can access online casino games via offshore sites, however, these do not fall under US law.

Online Poker in Iowa

Despite its popularity, online poker remains prohibited in Iowa. However, you can enjoy multiple variants of the game at one of the 19 land-based casinos located within the state. Venues such as the Catfish Bend and Diamond Jo Worth Casino offer dedicated poker rooms, which stage tournaments on a regular basis. Video poker machines are also available at a number of these land-based casinos with the Isle Casino Waterloo and Rhythm City Resort offering a computerized version of this hugely popular pastime.

Daily Fantasy in Iowa

The popularity of daily fantasy sports in the Hawkeye state has grown substantially in recent times, although wagering on state-based college sports is still prohibited so they are restricted to professional games for most sports.

Operators such as FanDuel and DraftKings are renowned for their vast array of fantasy markets with football, basketball, baseball and soccer all featuring prominently. Both one-day and season-long fantasy sports are now available in Iowa with large prize pools available on a weekly basis.

Esports in Iowa

Although wagering on fantasy sports is permitted, betting on esports remains an incredibly gray area. Following a unanimous vote to allow DraftKings to offer daily fantasy sports, many believed that Esports would also be legalized, however, the decision was referred to a legal liaison officer, who decided not to permit the practice of wagering on Esports.

Lottery in Iowa

The Iowa state-run lottery remains fairly popular, however, it is currently not possible to buy tickets online or via an app. You can only purchase tickets from existing retailers.
