What is the Circa Sports Kentucky promo?

Circa Sportsbook does not have a welcome bonus promo for Kentucky players, or for players in any of the other states where it operates. Instead, Circa claims it chooses to focus on having more competitive odds and higher wagering limits to appeal to higher-stakes gamblers.

How to register for Circa Sports in Kentucky

The registration process for Circa Sports in Kentucky is relatively straightforward, but it is only available as a mobile app at this time.

  1. Download the app: To download the app, you’ll need to search for “Circa Sports Kentucky” in the app store on your Apple or Android device. Keep in mind that the operator has multiple apps for each state where it has launched, so you’ll run into complications if you don’t download the Kentucky app.
  2. Open the app: Upon opening the app, you will be met with two options. The first is to allow Circa Sports Kentucky to send you notifications (this is optional). The second is to allow the app to use your location. You can choose from “Allow Once,” “Allow While Using App,” and “Don’t Allow.” Location services must be turned on in order to place a wager; otherwise, your bets will be blocked.
  3. Tap “Register”: The “Register” icon should appear in the top right corner of your screen. Tap the button to open the signup form.
  4. Enter your identifying information: Circa Sports will ask you to provide your gender, first and last name, date of birth, email address, street address, full social security number (NOTE: most sites only require the last four digits of your SSN. This is unique to Circa Sports), and an account password. You will need to enter the password twice for verification.
  5. Agree to the terms: To complete your registration, you will need to check seven boxes to affirm your agreement to the terms and conditions, that you are legally authorized to bet, and you will not falsify any information (including your location and the selling/transferring of your account). Once all the above steps are complete, click “Submit” to finalize your sign-up.

Circa Sports Kentucky is staunchly anti-promo, refusing to offer bonus bets, deposit matches, or payout boosts. Instead, the company argues its favorable odds relative to other sportsbooks and its higher-limit wagering capabilities are enough of a draw.

Deposit and withdrawal methods on Circa Sports Sportsbook in KY

Circa Sports Sportsbook requires a minimum $20 initial deposit to open your sports betting account, with the minimum going down to $10 after that. The minimum withdrawal amount is also $10.

Thus far, there are only two deposit and withdrawal options available on Circa Sports Sportsbook for players in Kentucky.

  • Play+ card: Using a Play+ card is currently the only way to access your winnings on Circa Sports, though it can also be used to make a deposit. Play+ cards work as a third-party broker, securely moving money into and out of your checking account. You can also use Play+ cards at an ATM to withdraw cash.

Circa Sports Sportsbook retail locations in KY

Circa Sports Sportsbook does not currently have a retail location in KY. However, the operator has forged a partnership with Cumberland Run, a harness racing track in Corbin, to open up a retail location.

A second satellite facility will also open at The Mint Gaming Hall Cumberland near Williamsburg.

Circa Sports mobile app in Kentucky

Circa Sports App

Circa Sports’ mobile app in Kentucky is unique to players in the Bluegrass State, meaning they will need to download a different app if they intend to play while traveling out of state. The betting platform is also app-only, so you’ll have to download Circa to your device to be able to use it.

Because the Kentucky betting app is still so new for users it does not have any app store ratings as of writing. We will update this page once enough ratings are in that they are of statistical significance and usefulness.

Fantasy Sports on Circa Sports Kentucky

Circa Sports also holds many fantasy sports contests on its platform in which Kentucky players can participate. These include survivor pools and pro football pick’em contests, both of which can reach into the millions of dollars in prizes.

However, Circa does not run daily fantasy sports leagues in the manner of DraftKings and FanDuel. These contests are typically standalone season-long events, so Kentucky participants will need to keep checking in to make their picks and hope their teams win on game day.

Is betting on college sports allowed on Circa Sports Sportsbook in KY?

Yes, betting on college sports is allowed on Circa Sports Sportsbook in KY. Kentucky does not have any “Big Four” sports teams that play home games within the state borders, so collegiate athletics is the means of having a local interest for sports bettors. Circa offers markets for NCAA Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey.

Pros and cons of Circa Sports online sportsbook in KY

To better help you decide whether to gamble with the Circa Sports online sportsbook in KY, we’ve highlighted some of the pros and cons of the operator.

Pros

  • Odds are more player-friendly than competitors: While the difference between Circa’s odds and the odds for single-game lines tends to be on the smaller side (an additional +10 to +20 in favorability compared to other sites on most lines), these minor variations can lead to major differences in your bankroll over time. Additionally, we’ve found there to be more pronounced variation in futures wagers. For example, on April 9, 2024, we found Circa to have the Winnipeg Jets to have +2500 odds to win the Stanley Cup, while two other leading sportsbooks had Winnipeg at +2000 and +1500.
  • App is very straightforward: The best way to describe Circa Sports is “no mess, just bets.” While the layout and aesthetic are both rather basic, it is incredibly easy to navigate to find the bets you want to make and to place a wager.
  • Circa doesn’t limit winning bettors: With some sports betting operators, too much winning can be a bad thing, with those sites placing limits on how much you can wager and on what markets and bet types. This isn’t the case with Circa, allowing bettors who have made a series of highly profitable bets to keep things rolling.

Cons

  • No desktop site: For some players, the appeal of a desktop site may trump the convenience of wagering through a mobile app. Circa Sports is an app-only platform until the two retail locations are opened, and even then, the travel distance could be a hindrance for some players.
  • Limited payment options: As of writing, the only ways to make a deposit on Circa are by linking your bank account or using a Play+ Card, and Play+ is the only way to withdraw your winnings. This may be off-putting for casual bettors who don’t want to link their bank account or set up a Play+ option.
  • No bonuses: As we’ve mentioned throughout this piece, Circa Sports isn’t one to offer flashy promos or generous bonuses to its players. The bookmaker also doesn’t run a loyalty program, so even players who choose to use Circa regularly won’t get any additional benefits.

Our expert opinion on Circa Sports Sportsbook Kentucky

In our expert opinion, Circa Sports Sportsbook will put an interesting spin on sports betting for Kentucky players that certainly merits consideration. The high-limit wagering is an intriguing feature, and we appreciate the clean, straightforward look and feel of the mobile app.

What we really like about Circa Sports is the player-friendly odds, which can be of great benefit when odds shopping. Because Circa has odds that are often more favorable whether you’re backing the favorite or the underdog, you’re able to win more money for making the same wager than you would’ve with another bookie.

However, we can’t disregard the lack of bonuses and a loyalty program. These are two areas of massive appeal to.

KY Betting has given Circa Sportsbook Kentucky an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5. The overall rating has been based on these factors:

  • Welcome Bonus - Rating 0/5: Circa Sports does not offer a welcome bonus, or any other promotions. If this changes in the future, the overall sportsbook rating will rise considerably. Until then, we have no choice but to give a “0” for this section.
  • Payment options - Rating 3/5: With just two deposit options and one withdrawal method, Circa Sports is still quite limited in this area. However, by narrowing the scope of payment options, Circa has made transactions near-instantaneous. We’d like to see more variety here, but things are acceptable as is.
  • Sportsbook app - Rating 5/5: We found Circa’s mobile app to be incredibly navigable when testing with new users and betting pros alike. While the app isn’t as colorful or eye-catching as others in the market, the minimalistic approach and quick load times will be favorable for most users.
  • Variety & Features - Rating 4/5: Circa Sports has a reasonable selection of sports betting markets, but some of the niche sports won’t be offered on the platform. The lack of bonuses and a loyalty program is disappointing, though we understand the odds favorability is an important draw.
  • Customer Support - Rating 4/5: The Circa Sports website has an easy-to-find FAQ section to address any high-level concerns while you can email [email protected] to address any specific technical issues. Unfortunately, there is no chat service or phone number available in the app or on the website, keeping Circa from getting full marks in this category.
