Circa Sports announced Monday it has begun taking mobile bets in Kentucky, the fifth state where the Las Vegas-based sportsbook has expanded its operations.

It is the second mobile launch in the last seven months for Circa, with the previous taking place in Illinois late last September. Circa Sports is also available via sports betting app in Colorado and Iowa in addition to their home state of Nevada.

Circa’s entry into the Bluegrass State gives Kentucky eight mobile operators, and it is the first new mobile sportsbook after the commonwealth launched with seven digital operators Sept. 28.

Kentucky averaged $269.2 million in mobile handle in its first three full months of action, but that may skew higher when the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission releases January figures.
