Sports betting has finally arrived in Missouri. After years of attempts, stalled proposals, and nonstop debate, the switch flips at 12:01 a.m. CT on Monday. Phones, kiosks, and betting windows will all be live, officially making Missouri the 39th state where fans can legally wager.
Good to Know
Missouri spent years trying to reach this point. Professional teams pushed hard, sportsbooks poured millions into lobbying, and voters approved a ballot measure back in November 2024. Officials hoped for a June 2025 launch, but the licensing queue stretched longer than anyone expected.
Although fans missed events like the World Series and much of the NFL season, they now get access just as college football and winter sports heat up.
FanDuel and DraftKings will likely dominate early activity, similar to their strength in other regulated states. Major competitors BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, bet365, and Fanatics Sportsbook also join the launch group.
ESPN BET shifted operations to theScore Bet. Circa Sports picked up an untethered license, which gives it full revenue control and positions it well for sharp bettors seeking higher limits.
Underdog chose not to roll out a traditional sportsbook, instead focusing on prediction-style products.
Anyone who used FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars Sportsbook, or other operators in neighboring states will simply sign in normally. The app will recognize your profile, wallet, and preferences. Missouri law does not require those users to start over, which makes opening day smooth for long-time bettors.
Anyone signing up for the first time must be at least 21 years old and provide a valid Social Security number. Pre-registration began Nov. 17, so those early signups already have active accounts and will see full betting menus once the market goes live Monday.
Yes. Eight casinos partnered with sportsbook operators, and additional sports venues are licensed for on-site wagering. Some physical books may open later than Monday morning, but kiosks and betting windows will quickly roll out across approved locations.
Missouri launches with a betting catalog very similar to other U.S. markets. NFL Week 13 continues Monday night with New York vs. New England. Local bettors can jump into Kansas City action when the Chiefs face Houston in Week 14.
The St. Louis Blues play Anaheim on Monday night, marking the first in-state pro game available for wagering. NBA, NHL, college sports, and MLB futures also appear in the early catalog.
Promotions are a big part of early market activity, especially for customers who never tried a sportsbook before. Operators usually hand out bet credits or similar perks to help newcomers explore betting menus with lower personal cost. Pre-registration deals ran earlier, and most operators now offer welcome packages for truly new customers.
If someone already has an account from another state, the same login and wallet will work in Missouri but will not qualify for new-customer offers.
Regulators require every sportsbook to display clear responsible gaming controls. Bettors can set deposit limits, wagering limits, and access voluntary exclusion lists. Operators usually include links to external support resources for anyone needing help.
State analysts estimate that wagers will exceed 4 billion dollars yearly. Sportsbooks are expected to generate more than 500 million dollars in revenue, producing over 50 million dollars in direct tax funding for Missouri programs.
Some retail books open Monday, while others will add windows and kiosks over the next several days.
