He filed for licensing to operate his own sportsbooks in September 2018, and received final approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission on April 25, 2019.

Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, which further inspired Stevens to start Circa Sports. By the end of 2015, Stevens was planning to build the Circa Resort, and he believed that the project would give him enough volume to run a sportsbook company. He later purchased Fitzgeralds hotel-casino, also in downtown Las Vegas, and renamed it as The D Las Vegas in 2012. However, he did not believe that there was enough volume to support a sportsbook operation. Stevens had wanted to operate his own sportsbook since the purchase of downtown's Golden Gate hotel-casino in 2008. He began visiting Las Vegas in the late 1980s, and was impressed by the sportsbooks at several resorts, including Caesars Palace, the Stardust, the Riviera, and the SuperBook at the Las Vegas Hilton (later known as the Westgate). The company was founded by Circa owner Derek Stevens, who is a fan of sports and betting. It expanded its mobile app operations to Iowa on October 7, 2021.Ĭirca Sports is named after the Circa Resort & Casino in downtown Las Vegas. It also launched online and mobile app betting in Colorado on July 1, 2020, through a partnership with Century Casinos. Other locations in Las Vegas include the Golden Gate and The D Las Vegas, both owned by Stevens. The resort includes the company's flagship sportsbook, with 1,000 seats spread across three floors. It is named after Stevens' Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. It was founded by casino owner Derek Stevens and began operations on June 1, 2019. Circa Sports is an American sportsbook operator based in Las Vegas.
