Circa Sports is entering its fifth U.S. sports betting market with the debut of online operations in Kentucky in partnership with ECL Corbin’s Cumberland Run harness track.
The Las Vegas-based sports betting operator has officially launched its mobile app in Kentucky as the state’s eighth online sportsbook. Circa has secured market access in the Bluegrass State through a licensing agreement with Cumberland Run in Corbin, Kentucky.
“We are thrilled to launch Circa Sports in the great state of Kentucky,” said Circa CEO Derek Stevens. “We’ve always had our sights set here as we know it is a major hub for college sports, horse racing, and more. We are looking forward to providing Kentucky bettors with some of the best odds and expertise out there.”
Circa’s mobile app is available to Kentucky residents and visitors ages 18 and over. The operator is providing a player-friendly experience with high betting limits and tight moneyline splits. The sportsbook also offers parlay and two-sided future betting.
Circa is also live with operations in Nevada, Illinois, Colorado, and Iowa.
New opportunity for Circa Sports
Circa’s debut in Kentucky follows promising results for a fellow Cumberland Run partner.
According to data provided by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, the Bluegrass State posted a total sports betting handle of $208.3 million in February, down from $257.1 million in January due to a decline in sporting events as the NFL season came to an end.
In February, Kentucky’s mobile handle reached $198.5 million with Cumberland Run partner DraftKings emerging as the operator with the highest monthly online handle. That month, Boston-based DraftKings accepted $79.2 million in wagers in the Bluegrass State.
Circa Sports is also competing for market share in Kentucky with bet365, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, ESPN Bet, Fanatics Sportsbook, and FanDuel.
