Once the verification process has been completed, bettors can begin wagering on their favorite sports teams. Users can place bets online via desktop or laptop, as well as with a mobile device like a tablet or phone.

Joining retail betting

The launch of online sports betting via GiG comes just a few short months after the retail sportsbook opened at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City in late September, becoming the 14th casino to offer sports betting in Iowa.

When compared to other betting venues, the Hard Rock’s retail sportsbook is small. It offers only 400 square feet of space, with just four windows available for placing bets.

Dakin Schultz placed the first bet at the new facility. He is the Missouri River Historical Development board president. Mr. Schultz bet on the Iowa State Cyclones to defeat the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks in college football. Iowa State was the winner, defeating the Warhawks 72-20.
