Missouri sportsbooks prepare to launch

The Kansas move comes as Missouri nears the launch of its legal sportsbooks.

Other books including Hard Rock, live in Illinois, might likewise pursue one of approximately two-dozen prospective Missouri sports wagering licenses.

The larger array of Show Me State wagering options could bring in Kansas wagerers in the Kansas City city area to Missouri to put bets, reversing years of wagerer traffic going the opposite direction. This could accelerate if the Sunflower State curtails its sportsbook lineup, specifically if DraftKings and/or FanDuel can no longer accept bets.

Missouri citizens in the Kansas City metro were the most ardent supporters of the sports betting ballot measure, which could highlight locals' interest in positioning bets in their home state once books go live.

Missouri's sports betting lineup is unsure ahead of the 2025 launch. Kansas' sportsbooks could change too in the occurring years.
