The Kansas City Royals have partnered with Circa Sports as their new sports betting affiliate, after parting ways with Underdog in November 2025.

This collaboration is set to commence on Friday, January 30, during the Royals Rally Casino Night at Kauffman Stadium. At the event, Circa Sports will offer 10 prize packages, which consist of a two-night midweek accommodation at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, premier seating at their sportsbook featuring unlimited food and drinks, a daybed at Circa’s year-round pool amphitheater, Stadium Swim, and a complimentary round of cocktails at Circa’s rooftop lounge, Legacy Club.

“Since our launch in Missouri last December, we have truly valued the local sports community, with the Kansas City Royals being a key component,” stated Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Sports. “This partnership is focused on delivering exceptional experiences surrounding the game – extending from the ballpark to the sportsbook – allowing Royals fans to engage, connect, and experience the energy typical of their love for baseball.”

Circa Sports will actively contribute to enriching Royals fan experiences and promotions throughout the upcoming season.

“The enthusiasm Royals fans exhibit for their team is undeniable, and this collaboration with Circa Sports opens new avenues for them to connect with the game they cherish,” remarked Cullen Maxey, President of Business Operations for the Kansas City Royals. “From exclusive events at Kauffman Stadium to distinctive experiences beyond the ballpark, we can’t wait to collaborate with Circa to invent exciting ways for fans to engage with the Royals.”

Underdog previously formed a partnership with the Kansas City Royals to enter the Missouri sports betting arena but withdrew just days prior to the December 1 launch, culminating in the termination of its multi-year agreement and leaving the Royals without a partner for a period of two months. The company also shut down its sportsbook in North Carolina in December.

Circa Sports, alongside DraftKings, emerged as the only sportsbooks to enter Missouri independently, without a connection to a professional team or casino. Circa aims to serve professional bettors, offering higher limits and lower juice, and does not engage in revenue sharing or pay fees to a partner.
