Legal sports betting in Iowa is launched on August 15th and Ameristar Casino Council Bluffs is one of three casinos to open their sportsbook. In the last week of July, licensing issues and final rules have been resolved and defined. Sports betting in Ameristar Casino Hotel has been kicked off in its newly renovated Amerisports Bar & Grill.

Sports and markets available

Following the sportsbook launch, the players are going to have 11 sports available in Ameristar Casino Hotel offers. This is a fair number of different sports on offer since the sportsbook has been launched just recently. Thee selection is not much different to ones offered by the bookmakers in other states. The complete list of sports on offer is as follows:

  • Football
  • Basketball
  • Hockey
  • Soccer
  • Baseball
  • Golf
  • Tennis
  • Auto racing
  • Cycling
  • Boxing
  • UFC

Different wagering markets are also available for players and currently, Ameristar Casino Hotel sportsbook covers straight bets, parlays, match-ups, futures, spread bets, round-robin… It has been announced that prop bets are going to be available soon.

This bookmaker worked hard to get everything prepared for launch before the start of the football season and they managed to launch sportsbook. This means that all major competitions are going to be covered in their offer, while we are expecting to see some less popular tournaments and events as well.

Odds & Limits

We still didn’t have the chance to check Ameristar Casino Hotel sportsbook yet as it is currently just a retail sportsbook, however, the impression of other players is that their odds are on par with the ones at the similar bookies in other states. We expect to get more detailed information about the odds of different sports in the near future.

For now, Ameristar Casino Hotel operates only as a retail sportsbook. This means that you still cannot place your wagers online, nor to check the odds at the website. Sportsbook opening hours are listed below:

  • Monday to Thursday: 11 AM – 11 PM
  • Friday: 11AM – 2AM
  • Saturday: 9AM – 2AM
  • Sunday: 9AM – 11PM

Available promotions & Ameristar Casino Online Council Bluffs Promo Code

Currently, there are no promotions for sportsbook, however, we are expecting them to be offered very soon. Ameristar Casino Hotel offers regular welcome bonuses and other promos regularly and we don’t think it is going to be much different for the sportsbook as well. Ongoing promotion for new casino players will award them with up to $500 Free Play.

Besides the welcome offer, Ameristar Casino Hotel offers other promos for existing customers such as giveaways, free play money, multipliers, etc… depending on the chosen game. Since it is expected that other competitors launch their sportsbook soon, it is fair to expect generous promotions in order to attract as many players as possible.

Live streaming

Amerisports Bar & Grill facilitates the sportsbook with comfortable seating with the capacity of more than 500 seats and the possibility for viewing the most popular games. Since this is a retail sportsbook, live streaming cannot be found online, however, the players can enjoy live broadcast at Amerisports Bar & Grill which is equipped with 50 HDTVs for the best experience. Besides that, while enjoying your favorite game, you can also grab a drink or a bite.

Mobile Application: Soon Available

At this moment, Ameristar Casino Hotel sportsbook hasn’t launched a mobile app, and according to Paul Czak, the casino’s general manager, it won’t be available before mid-2020. The reason behind this is that Penn National Gaming INC., Ameristar’s parent company, is working on developing their own sportsbook mobile app, which is also going to be used in other states who have legalized sports betting.

You are probably wondering why Ameristar Casino Hotel sportsbook is taking that much time to enable mobile betting since it became an integral and one of the most important aspects in wagering experience. This is because players cannot use mobile apps before registering an account at a casino. The account should be registered in-person and you need to have a valid ID which proves that you are at least 21 years old. This process won’t take you more than 10 minutes, however, it prevents you from registering an account by filling out the form in the mobile app. This process is going to be in place until 1st January 2021 and after that players will be able to create an account without visiting the casino. Sportsbooks based in Iowa won’t be impacted very much in terms of the competitors who can drag the players away since none of the neighbors have legalized sports betting yet.

After the process is fully transferred online, players can expect signup bonuses for newly registered accounts via the mobile app.

Final Thoughts: We Expect a Lot!

Since this is one of just three sportsbooks that have been launched in Iowa so far, Ameristar Casino Hotel should attract a lot of players. As a retail sportsbook, it offers comfortable space, six sports wagering terminals and live broadcasts of different events. Their offer of different sports is respectable so far, and it is expected to get expanded in the future. The most popular US and international tournaments are covered, and players can find a broad range of events. The odds are fair and the variety of betting markets on offer is a plus. Although mobile wagering and application is not available yet, we have reasons to believe that it is going to be a top-notch application as they are going to develop it on their own. As a downside, we can mention the lack of sportsbook promotions and offers, however, we can expect them very soon since they are regularly offered for casino players. Proposition bets are still not available in the offer, but it has been announced that they are going to be available soon. To sum up, Ameristar Casino Hotel is a newly launched sportsbook which should become a trustworthy operator although there is a room for improvement in several aspects. It is encouraging that they have spotted the downsides which should be worked on in the upcoming period.
