Hey everyone,
I called the IOWA Gaming dept. and spoke with a very nice lady 'Betty' - she informed me that they will eventually post info online but there are no plans for affiliate marketing or lead gen outside of the big operators and they really have no info or guidance on what's coming for the BRAND NEW online gaming market in IA.
I am curious if anyone knows 'anything' - rumors, hear-say and theories work too.
-Cheers
I spoke to Betty too. Similar reply. IshQuote:

Not really answering the question. Im thinking it may be better to ask one of the programs.
I live on the border with Iowa, and have been following the market for some time. There's a strong push to open up the market to outside affiliates, but the big casino boys are resisting. I think it's just a question of time before it gets opened up to anyone.Quote:

regulators need only to look at Indiana in terms of how to do things right.

This thread needs an update, as effective tomorrow Iowa will open it's legal sportsbooks to mobile registration, ended the short sighted policy of in person registration that was holding back the market.Quote:
