<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>CoinPoker is an offshore room. It runs cash games and tournaments around the clock, and you can deposit by card or crypto. Our full <a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/coinpoker-review\/\">CoinPoker review<\/a> covers how it works.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/clubwpt-gold-review\/\">ClubWPT Gold<\/a> is the World Poker Tour&#8217;s sweepstakes poker site. It still lists Iowa as an eligible state.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/stake-us-poker-review\/\">Stake.us<\/a> is a sweepstakes casino with a poker room. Iowa isn&#8217;t on its excluded list.<\/p>\n<p>The current offers and codes are in the boxes above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pcsp-note\">CoinPoker isn&#8217;t licensed by Iowa or any other US state, so the Racing and Gaming Commission can&#8217;t help you if you have a dispute. Only deposit what you&#8217;re comfortable having on a site without state oversight.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"iowa-at-a-glance\">Iowa Online Poker at a Glance<\/h2>\n<table class=\"pcsp-facts\" aria-labelledby=\"iowa-at-a-glance\">\n<tbody>\n<tr><th scope=\"row\">State-licensed online poker<\/th><td><span class=\"pcsp-tag pcsp-no\">No<\/span><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><th scope=\"row\">Sweepstakes poker<\/th><td><span class=\"pcsp-tag pcsp-warn\">Restricted<\/span>SF 2289 lets the regulator order unlicensed sites to stop since July 1, 2026.

It lets the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission issue cease and desist orders to operators it suspects of offering gambling without a license, and go to court for an injunction. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/industry\/iowa-governor-signs-bill-giving-regulators-power-over-sweepstakes-casinos-may-19-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source, Covers, May 19, 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>June 2026.<\/strong> Some sweepstakes casinos left before the deadline. High 5 Casino and Baba Casino closed Iowa accounts at the end of June, and Lucky Bunny added Iowa to its excluded list. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweepsy.com\/news\/some-operators-showing-caution-iowa-exits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source, Sweepsy, June 22, 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>May 2026.<\/strong> Governor Kim Reynolds signed SF 2289. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lines.com\/reynolds-signs-iowa-sweepstakes-sf-2289-into-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source, lines.com, May 18, 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SF 2289 isn&#8217;t a sweepstakes ban. It doesn&#8217;t name sweepstakes games as illegal. It gives the regulator faster tools against any site it decides is unlicensed gambling.<\/p>\n<p>We haven&#8217;t found any public cease and desist order the commission has sent under the new law so far. None of the poker rooms on our list has left Iowa, and they still accept the state under their own terms.<\/p>\n<p>That could change if the commission starts using its new power. If a room you use announces an exit, log in and check its redemption page.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Can I Play PokerStars, WSOP or GGPoker in Iowa?<\/h2>\n<p>No. PokerStars, WSOP Online and BetMGM Poker only run in states that license online poker, and Iowa isn&#8217;t one of them. <a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/ggpoker-review\/\">GGPoker<\/a> doesn&#8217;t accept US players at all.<\/p>\n<p>You can play those licensed sites while you&#8217;re physically inside a state that has them. Michigan is the closest, with WSOP, BetMGM and PokerStars. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/michigan\/\">Michigan poker guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Live Poker in Iowa<\/h2>\n<p>Live poker is legal at Iowa&#8217;s licensed casinos, and there are rooms in most corners of the state.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Horseshoe Council Bluffs in Council Bluffs, the biggest room in the state<\/li>\n<li>Prairie Meadows in Altoona, near Des Moines<\/li>\n<li>Riverside Casino in Riverside, south of Iowa City<\/li>\n<li>Grand Falls Casino in Larchwood, near Sioux Falls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You need to be 21 to play. Room sizes and schedules change, so check the casino&#8217;s site before you drive out.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Will Iowa Legalize Online Poker?<\/h2>\n<p>Not soon. Iowa already has online sports betting, but we couldn&#8217;t find any online poker or online casino bill in the 2026 session.<\/p>\n<p>The one gambling bill that did pass in 2026 was SF 2289, and it went the other way, toward more enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>We check this page every month and we&#8217;ll update it the day that changes.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Nearby States<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"pcsp-near\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/minnesota\/\">Minnesota<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/illinois\/\">Illinois<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/nebraska\/\">Nebraska<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/missouri\/\">Missouri<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/poker-sites\/\">All poker sites<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Train Now, Play Anywhere<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you play sweepstakes tournaments at home or the live games in Council Bluffs and Altoona, the edge comes from what you study between sessions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pcsp-cta\">\n<h3>Get better at poker with Jonathan Little<\/h3>\n<p>Courses, quizzes, hand reviews and live training for cash games and tournaments, all in one place.<\/p>\n<a class=\"pcsp-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/\">Start training at PokerCoaching<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pcsp-faq\">\n<h3>Is online poker legal in Iowa?<\/h3>\n<p>Iowa doesn&#8217;t license any online poker sites.
