The issue of legalizing sports betting in Iowa is now resting with Governor Kim Reynolds.

The Iowa House has given final legislative approval to a bill that would let the 19 state-licensed casinos take wagers on professional and college sports. Representative Bobby Kaufmann), a Republican from Wilton, says many Iowans want the freedom to do this legally, adding keeping sports betting illegal will not make it go away and this bill sets up consumer protections for bad actors.

The bill also allows Iowans to claim prizes in “fantasy sports” leagues connected to the performance of professional athletes from a variety of teams.
