The anticipated wait for Circa Sports to debut in the legal sports betting market of Illinois is almost over. The Nevada-based sportsbook operator that applied in May 2022 and has undergone a long process finally received its official go-ahead last week.
According to the Illinois Gaming Board, Circa is now licensed to operate in the state and joins seven other sportsbook operators.
Circa said earlier this month that it planned to launch in the third quarter of 2023, and it added last week the target date is late August, just in time for football season.
Circa partnered with [Full House Resorts] to provide retail and online sports betting sites for the in-development American Place Casino.
