Pointsbet

POINTSBET not as good as ELITE from a baseball ML standpoint........but who knows, could offer better value.

Good report RAIDERS

Hawkeye and Raider...Thanks for the catfishbend writeups. I live in the area. When I found out Thursday that things would be delayed until Monday, I went to the Isle in Bettendorf. Their Sportsbook consisted of a half a dozen TV's and High Top Tables with four ticket Kiosks. Friday I went to Rhythm city in Davenport. There they added two odds TV's in the sports bar. Bets were placed outside of bar, where the hostess usually stood to seat you. You could not see the Odd's board from where you bet.

So of these three casinos, Catfishbend definitely made the most effort. I know eventually most bets will be made with the App's, but while making your initial sports bets and signup's, you will definitely be comfortable at CFB.

Having said that, I couldn't give a rats ass what any of the books offer in terms of seating, viewing, etc., etc...………...terriffic LINES and ODDS are what I'm searching and wanting.

No USA
Place will terrific lines

They are here to make money like uk

[milwaukee mike]

how stale do these places let those mlb lines get?

[Hawk8568]

Visited PointsBet @ CFB.

-105 NFL sides listed for all week 1 games. Most other lines I saw were -110. No mobile for at least 1-2 months.

Nice setup if you’re visiting the book. It’s actually non-smoking as well, as it’s its own room not connected to the casino.

Don't thing so

Great time to visit the area will be next year for the CWS across the river...…...three IOWA casinos on the river

[rm18]

I am going to be playing at the WSOP then probably but I am only a few hours away.

I was thinking if I get comps and pts from caesars it may help get free rooms in Vegas as well as good lines.

[jjgold]

The opening was very very quiet don’t forget a lot of people don’t live in Iowa

Ok, the WILD ROSE group expected opening slated for SEPT. 1st...………….any word on the operator??

Wild Rose Entertainment and DraftKings Inc. announced today that they are partnering to offer sports betting at the three Iowa casinos operated by Wild Rose. With the agreement, DraftKings becomes the Wild Rose retail and mobile partner that will accept and process wagers on a wide array of sporting events. DraftKings and Wild Rose received approval today from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission after submitting applications and documentation to move forward with their partnership agreement to operate sportsbooks in Clinton, Emmetsburg and Jefferson. “Sports betting is the most energizing change in Iowa gaming since the slot machine,” said Tom Timmons, President and Chief Operating Officer of Wild Rose. “We couldn’t be more excited to be the first Iowa casino company to partner with DraftKings, which we view as the most recognizable name in sports gaming.” Under the sports betting law enacted in May, each casino in Iowa is allowed – but not required – to apply for a sports wagering license. As part of the license, casinos can have two mobile partners with two “skins” or unique mobile betting web pages or mobile applications. Wild Rose chose to partner with DraftKings after a thorough analysis of the sports gaming landscape across the nation. “DraftKings is thrilled to work with Wild Rose to bring our online sportsbook product to sports fans in Iowa,” said Matt Kalish, Chief Revenue Officer and co-founder of DraftKings. “We look forward to fueling fans’ passion and competitive spirit while building on the success we’ve seen in the other states we serve.”



---------------------------

Wild Rose Entertainment is partnering with Rush Street Interactive (RSI) for mobile sportsbook gaming at its properties in Clinton, Emmetsburg and Jefferson.RSI will launch its award-winning iGaming platform at Wild Rose casino properties later this year and enter the digital arena in Iowa with BetRivers.com. This partnership solidifies RSI’s Midwest plans, which includes sports betting partnerships in its home-state of Illinois and Indiana, as well.“We are really thrilled to extend our U.S. footprint by bringing our online sportsbook to sports betting enthusiasts in the state of Iowa,” said Richard Schwartz, President of Rush Street Interactive. “We are proud of our growing presence in the Midwest and are looking forward to growing the sports betting market here by bringing Iowa sports fans exhilarating new experiences while watching their favorite teams and getting in on the action.”Each of the three Wild Rose Casinos are individually licensed for sportsbook gaming and all received approval today on their respective contracts with RSI from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. RSI will provide online market access and on-premise player registration until state-wide on-line registration opens on January 1, 2021. Iowa casinos by law can work with two mobile providers for sportsbook gaming. Wild Rose chose RSI after looking at a number of mobile companies based on the quality of its platform, operational strength, and track record of success in other markets. In addition to working in New Jersey, and New York, RSI is the service provider for the No. 1 in-casino and online sportsbook in Pennsylvania.“Sports gaming is an exciting new adventure for our fans and players, and we want to offer the most engaging mobile services to complement the casino experience,” said Tom Timmons, President and Chief Operating Officer at Wild Rose. “RSI takes an innovative approach to this business and stands out as a company with top-of-the-line technology for sports fans.”

Thanks Fish!

[jjgold]

Fishhead must be on the ground, he knows a little too much what’s going on on an hourly basis

Who is this guy??

[AUSTINRUSSELL]

Elite Sportsbook with Riverside - Grandfalls - Rhythem city has their website up to bet online. You can even sign up online if you have already been to the casino and have a players club card. I've seen no big news saying its opened but I called and I have placed a bet on the website. Sounds like they just quietly opened it.

Catfish bend / pointsbet had some good lines yesterday. Book was busy. They had live MMA fights. Went 2-0 in bets. Was a good day. Hopefully today is better.
