Missouri legalized sports betting following the narrow approval of Amendment 2 by voters on November 5, 2024, allowing both retail and mobile wagering with a 10% tax on gross gaming revenue. The Missouri Gaming Commission is currently licensing operators and drafting regulations, with sports betting expected to officially launch on December 1, 2025. Major sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel, Circa, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, and bet365 are actively applying for licenses and forming partnerships with local casinos and sports teams. Retail sportsbooks will be available at existing casinos and professional sports venues, while up to 14 online sportsbooks will operate statewide. Pre-launch bonuses and welcome offers similar to those in other states are anticipated.

Once live, Missouri residents will be able to bet on a wide range of sports, including NFL, MLB, NHL, college sports, and more, with no restrictions on betting on in-state college teams. The state’s regulatory framework includes a 10% tax on adjusted gross revenue, with funds supporting education and problem-gambling programs. Missouri’s sports betting market aims to be competitive with moderate tax rates compared to neighboring states, encouraging multiple operators and diverse betting options. Responsible gaming resources will be available, and users are encouraged to sign up with multiple sportsbooks to maximize bonuses and line shopping opportunities.
