Circa, which has partnered with Cumberland Run harness racing track based in Corbin, is also live in its home state of Nevada, along with Colorado, Iowa, and Illinois.
“We are thrilled to launch Circa Sports in the great state of Kentucky,” said Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Sports, in a statement. “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 Sports is the eighth mobile sportsbook in the Bluegrass State, which launched with seven online operators Sept. 28. In its first six months of legal commercial wagering through February, Kentucky has generated $1.36 billion worth of wagers. Operators have had a robust 12.8% hold in that span, generating $173.3 million in gross sports betting revenue and $23.9 million in state taxes.
