Circa CEO Derek Stevens says his company’s online sportsbook will bring its old school, Las Vegas-style of bookmaking to Missouri but also offer an expanded betting menu that could appeal to more casual bettors looking to wager with the sharp-friendly outfit.

The Missouri Gaming Commission announced last week, in a surprising turn, that Circa Sports is in line to be one of the two recipients of an “untethered” license for online sports wagering in the Show-Me State.

So, along with DraftKings, Circa is on course to launch Missouri sports betting on Dec. 1 with no need for a partnership with a brick-and-mortar casino or professional sports team.
