Circa Sports Partners With New Waukegan Casino

On its way to the Land of Lincoln is Circa Sports. To provide Illinois gambling with sports gambling, the business has partnered with Full House Resorts.

Circa plans to launch a physical casino at the soon-to-be-open American Place Casino in Waukegan, Illinois. They also intend to debut their online sportsbook app in the state.

Partnership with Circa Sports Illinois

The legalization of sports betting in Illinois has attracted numerous operators from across the country. The most recent instance of this is Circa Sports.

While Circa might be a fresh addition to Illinois, the US sports betting industry is not. This business is already up and running in states like Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada.

Derek Stevens, the founder of Circa Sports, states that accepting bets in Illinois will mark a significant milestone for the company.

“We are thrilled to bring Illinois into the fold of our premier sports betting and hospitality services. This marks a significant achievement for us, as we’ve enjoyed excellent relationships with Midwest punters at our Las Vegas casinos. Introducing our services to the great state of Illinois is indeed a major step forward.”

Due to the recent contract between the two companies, Full House Resorts will now partner with Circa in Illinois. Currently, Full House is developing a new game in this role.

Momentary game at American Place

Although American Place Casino will not be operational for a few years, this doesn’t prevent Circa from establishing a preliminary partnership with the casino.

The expansion of a sportsbook to new territories largely relies on market access agreements. With such an agreement secured, Circa now has entry into one of the biggest gaming markets in the US.

Once American Place finally inaugurates, a retail sportsbook bearing the Circa logo will take center stage. Full House is planning to launch a temporary game at the location in the meantime, potentially not until 2025 though.

The aptly named casino, “The Temporary by American Place,” plans to open in just a few months.

Circa will have an early opportunity to enter the sports betting industry as The Temporary will soon start operating.

To put it differently, the Circa Sports app will soon be accessible to casinos in Illinois.

Full House Chief Development Officer, Alex Stolyar, believes that Circa is the perfect sports betting partner for the business.

“We pledged to give Illinois a top-tier gaming and entertainment center, incorporating superior knowledge of sports betting. Observing how Derek and his team revolutionized the sports betting and viewing experience at Circa, we recognized them as the perfect partner for American Place.”

Should things accelerate, Circa has the potential to outdo other sports betting websites and become the eighth online bookmaker in Illinois.
