Is sports betting legal in Missouri?

Almost, but not until Dec. 1.

Missouri made its huge leap toward legal sports betting with the passage of Amendment 2 in November 2024. The Amendment allowed for Missouri to offer sports betting within state borders. Shortly after Amendment 2 passed, the legislature certified it, and everything was passed on to the Missouri Gaming Commission (MGC), which is the regulatory body in charge of gambling oversight.

Amendment 2 allows for up to 14 online sportsbooks and 19 in-person books. Both land-based casinos and MO professional sports teams can partner with an operator and share in the revenue. There are also 2 online-only licenses (called “untethered” licenses). Missouri will tax sportsbook operators 10% of gross revenue to generate funds for the state.

To play online, sports bettors must be 21 or older (confirmed with ID and personal details on sign-up) and physically located within Missouri’s borders.

Missouri sports betting launch date

The Missouri Gaming Commission has set a launch date of December 1, 2025. Crucially, this means legal Missouri online sportsbooks will be live just in time for the NFL playoffs and the conclusion of the regular season.

Many sportsbooks offer early sign-ups with lucrative bonus offers attached. While signing up early doesn’t allow you to bet early, it can get you a special or exclusive bonus offer. DraftKings has already announced their pre-launch offer, as we noted at the top. As December approaches, we will continue to update this page as we learn of new worms available for the earliest of birds.

Which sportsbooks are coming to Missouri?

Given that the application deadline has now passed, there’s big news about which sportsbooks are launching in Missouri. The application deadline has passed, and we have official word about which operators applied. Technically, the MGC needs to finish vetting all of these online sportsbooks. However, it would be pretty stunning if any of them were denied a license.

Thus, we can say with about 99% certainty that all of the following online sportsbooks will open for business on Dec. 1:

For context, 14 online sportsbooks could go live in Missouri. 12 will be linked to in-state casinos or sports franchises, and two will be “untethered,” meaning not linked to a casino. On Aug. 25, 2025, DraftKings and Circa were awarded the untethered licenses.

Will you be able to bet on college sports in Missouri?

Amendment 2 makes it ultra clear that Missouri sportsbooks can accept bets on college sports. That includes the ability to bet on the outcomes for games featuring in-state teams. However, player props for games featuring in-state teams will not be allowed.

Are there any other options available right now in Missouri?

Right now, you can enjoy Daily Fantasy Sports at platforms like DraftKings DFS, PrizePicks, or OwnersBox. These platforms let you participate in PvP contests for real money prizes.

Social sportsbooks are also allowed. These sites—Fliff, Thrillzz, and others—let you play with virtual currency. One of those currencies will give you a chance at real cash prizes, too.

You may find sites in Missouri claiming to offer real sports betting before December 1st. Steer clear of these sites, as they operate illegally and put your data and money at risk.

Expected welcome bonuses and other promotions

As of now, we only know the exact welcome bonus at DraftKings sportsbook. However, I encourage you to keep an eye on this page for early-bird sign-up bonuses as the MO sports betting launch approaches. These offers tend to have the best value for new players, and we will keep updating this page as we learn of more.

Even if we don’t know the exact specifics behind the welcome promos at most Missouri online sportsbooks yet, we know the kind of offers that are common in the industry. These are the primary types of welcome bonuses offered by sportsbooks in other legal markets:

How to choose the best Missouri sportsbook for you

Sportsbooks are multifaceted experiences that cover so much more than just betting. When you choose one, you should take the whole kit and kaboodle into consideration, including some of these aspects I look for:

• App and desktop experience: A sportsbook should be simple and easy to use. Even as a novice bettor, you should be able to find a game or team and quickly place your bet.
• Bonuses and promos: Welcome bonuses are obviously important, but what about ongoing promotions? Odds boosts, reload bonuses, parlay insurance, and other bonuses are crucial to a fun and enjoyable sportsbook experience.
• Market variety and depth: Every sportsbook worth your time will have the big ones: NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA. But they should also offer lesser-known or niche sports and globally popular ones like soccer and cricket.
• Odds: Sportsbooks compete with each other to have the best odds on any given bet. This means no single sportsbook always has the best odds. Look for sportsbooks that can give you a slight edge from time to time. Or do what I do: sign up for several, collect the welcome bonuses, and then find the book that has the best odds for the particular bet you are hoping to make.
• Payment and withdrawal options: In this case, more is more! I like to see tons of options for funding and cashing out, from Venmo to PayPal to online banking to credit/debit cards.
• Customer service: Quick, kind, and effective. If customer service at a sportsbook can hit those three marks, I’m happy to recommend it. Further, I like to see multiple available channels, such as live chat, email, and phone.
• Security: A sportsbook should take measures to protect bettors. Thankfully, all the major operators have many different systems in place for this, including multi-factor authentication and encryption.

How to sign up and bet in Missouri

New to sports betting and want to know how to sign up for an account? I’ve got you covered. The steps below may vary in order and exact language used, but the general idea remains the same at every sportsbook coming to Missouri. Follow these steps to sign up.

1. Head to your chosen sportsbook(s).
2. Click “Sign up,” “Register,” “Join Now,” or similar.
3. Enter a promo code for the welcome bonus, if applicable (this step may appear later in the process).
4. Provide your personal details: name, email, phone number, date of birth, address, etc.
5. Share your photo ID, selfie, and part of your SSN (the sportsbooks need this because they are required by law to confirm your age and identity).
6. Check any necessary boxes to agree to the terms, conditions, and privacy policy.
7. If required, confirm your email or phone number with a link/code sent to you.
8. Make a deposit and start betting!

You may also want to check the “Promotions” page to see whether your welcome bonus requires opt-in.

If you run into any roadblocks during sign-up, get in touch with customer support.

Types of bets available

Dozens of bet types will be available at Missouri sportsbooks. Here are some of the key bet types to know. If you want more information about them, you can find betting guides at most sportsbook sites. We also have plenty of resources for you right here at PlayUSA.

• Moneyline: Pick a team to win and get paid if they bring home a victory. The favored team will pay less than the underdog.
• Point spread: These bets give phantom points to the underdog and a handicap to the favorite. The underdog needs to either win or lose by a small margin. The favorite must win by more than the point spread. For example, Chiefs -7.5, Eagles +7.5 means the Chiefs are favored and have to win by 8 or more points to cover the spread.
• Totals (Over/Under): Bet on the over or the under based on how you think both teams will score in total. For example, if the line is set at 45.5, betting the over means you think the teams will score 46 or more points combined.
• Prop bets: These are wagers on specific outcomes. For example, back in the glory days, you might have seen odds on Albert Pujols to get more than 1.5 hits or more than 3.5 total bases in a game.
• Futures: Futures are bets on long-term outcomes, such as a team to win the Stanley Cup or to make the playoffs. They’re high-risk, high-reward bets, especially early in the season.
• Parlays: Parlays combine multiple smaller bets into a single big ticket wager. Every individual part of the parlay (called legs) must hit for the bet to win. Otherwise, the whole thing is a bust.

How to read American odds

Odds can look intimidating at first. However, once you have a grasp of the basics, you’ll be reading them like a pro in no time.

First, it helps to understand that odds come with a “+” or “-” in front of them. The minus symbol indicates that the associated bet is more likely to happen than its counterpart “+” bet, if applicable. A minus sign indicates a favorite while the plus sign is for an underdog. Let’s take a look at this moneyline example I just made up, but which feels all too real for a Bears fan:

• Kansas City Chiefs: -500
• Chicago Bears: +680

These odds are very disparate. The -500 on the Chiefs means you’d need to bet $500 to win $100 ($600 total, when you account for your returned wager). Meanwhile, a $100 bet on the Bears at odds of +680 would pay $780 ($100 back plus $680 in profit) if the Bears won.

That’s the easiest way to remember it. Negative odds show you how much you’d need to bet to win $100. Positive odds show you how much a $100 bet would win you.

The vig

“Vig” is short for “vigorish,” which I’m certain does little to assuage your confusion if you’ve never heard the term. It means a sportsbook’s commission. Vig is baked into odds, so you don’t need to do any highfalutin calculations. Instead, it helps to understand it in principle.

Point spread odds are often -110 on each side (or close to it). A real 50/50 bet with no vig would have odds of +100, giving you an even payout. The vig is the sportsbook’s way of making a little money no matter which side wins.

Popular Missouri teams to bet on

Missourians will have access to bets on all of the state’s major sports teams. That means the Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Blues, and Mizzou Tigers will all be featured. It’s safe to assume you’ll get plenty of localized promotions and odds boosts for bets on these teams when their sports are in season, too.

Also, look out for the Kansas City Current (NWSL), Kansas City Mavericks (ECHL), St. Louis City SC (MLS), and other Missouri teams, though unfortunately, some sportsbooks won’t cover all of these teams as thoroughly.

And, of course, you can find bets on any other team in professional or college sports. Just because the team is from a different state doesn’t mean it’ll be left out of the MO sports betting fun!

Retail vs. online sportsbooks in Missouri

Missouri’s Amendment 2 allows for both online and retail sports betting. Retail books need to be within a casino or within a block of a professional sports stadium. Many of the state’s casinos are owned by companies that also have a sports betting arm, so you can expect a handful of in-person sportsbooks to pop up in the state. Indeed, several operators (Caesars, Fanatics, ESPNBet, and BetMGM) have already announced plans for retail sportsbooks.

Many of the differences are fairly obvious, but it’s worth noting them for players who may not be familiar with both avenues of sports betting.

Mobile sportsbooks have the advantage of convenience. As long as you’re within Missouri, 21 or older, and have access to a wifi or cell signal, you can place a bet anywhere in the state once sportsbooks launch. This is ideal for moment-to-moment betting at the bar with friends or anywhere else you might be while out and about. You also get more access to promotions when betting online.

Retail sports betting requires travel to a physical location, but many bettors love the atmosphere. In-person sportsbooks are decked out with big-screen TVs and packed with fellow fans. There’s a unique buzz to watching a game with a bunch of invested fans, especially if you can’t be at the game in person. The downside? You can’t place bets in as timely a manner as you can on mobile. You may have to wait in line for a kiosk to become available or for the cashier to be ready.

The real winning choice? Play at both if you like both vibes. That’s the glory of having both options.

Responsible gambling in Missouri

Missouri sportsbooks will have plenty of built-in tools for responsible play. These will include session limits, deposit limits, reminders to take breaks, and much more. We highly recommend using them to keep things enjoyable.

There are also external resources available for education and intervention if you think you need help with a gambling problem. The National Council on Problem Gambling has a hotline and live chat or text options. KindBridge has free services connecting gamblers to licensed professionals. Then there are localized groups like Gamblers Anonymous to provide ongoing support.

If you think you need help, don’t be afraid to ask for it.
