Missouri awards Circa Sports one of two untethered sports betting licences
The Missouri Gaming Commission awarded Circa Sports one of the state’s two untethered sports betting licences, alongside DraftKings, ahead of the market’s 1 December launch. Circa founder and chief executive Derek Stevens said the company pursued the direct licence despite being a long shot; he said a St. Louis Blues partnership had been considered as an alternative route.
The award gives Circa direct access to Missouri’s sports betting market without requiring an in-state casino or sports-team partner.
