The Kansas City Royals have named Circa Sports as their new sports betting partner, following their split with Underdog in November 2025.
The partnership will officially kick off on Friday, Jan. 30, during the Royals Rally Casino Night at Kauffman Stadium. As part of the event, Circa Sports will give away 10 prize packages, each including a two-night midweek stay at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, premium seating at its sportsbook with unlimited food and beverages, a daybed at Circa’s year-round pool amphitheater Stadium Swim, and a round of cocktails at Circa’s rooftop lounge, Legacy Club.
“Since launching Circa Sports in Missouri last December, we’ve grown to appreciate the local sports community, and the Kansas City Royals are at the heart of it,” said Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Sports. “This partnership is about creating premium experiences around the game – from the ballpark to the sportsbook – and giving Royals fans access, energy, and a level of engagement that feels authentic to how they follow baseball.”
Circa Sports will also play an active role in Royals fan experiences and promotions throughout the season.
“We all know the passion Royals fans have for their team, and this partnership with Circa Sports offers more ways for them to connect with the game they love,” Cullen Maxey, President of Business Operations for the Kansas City Royals, said. “From special events at Kauffman Stadium to unique experiences beyond the ballpark, we’re excited to work with Circa to bring new ways for fans to connect with the Royals.”
Underdog had partnered with the Kansas City Royals to enter Missouri sports betting but pulled out days before the Dec. 1 launch, ending its multi-year deal and leaving the Royals partnerless for two months. The company also closed its North Carolina sportsbook in December.
Circa Sports, along with DraftKings, became the two sportsbooks to enter Missouri without teaming up with a professional team or casino. Circa caters to professional bettors with higher limits and low juice and does not share revenue or pay fees to a partner.
