FanDuel is preparing to go live in Missouri on Dec. 1, marking the company’s official entry into the state’s sports betting market. The launch also gives new customers their first chance to sign up before wagering begins.
As America’s No. 1 sportsbook, FanDuel is leading its rollout with a major welcome promo. The offer lets new users bet $5 and receive $400 in bonus bets — a strong push to attract attention ahead of opening day.

FanDuel’s Missouri launch is anchored by a $400 bonus tied to the Dec. 1 opening. The promotion begins with early sign-ups, which opened Nov. 17. New customers who join before Dec. 1 and verify their identity receive the first portion of the offer as $100 in bonus bets.
The remaining $300 is unlocked when users deposit $5 and place a $5 first bet after the sportsbook goes live. The bonus is guaranteed once that first wager is placed. The offer is available only to new Missouri customers and applies to accounts created before launch day. FanDuel is using this promotion as its primary launch driver to spark early interest.
Missouri-exclusive sports betting launch promotions
FanDuel is backing its Missouri sports betting debut with a series of promotions available only to users in the state.

FanDuel Missouri Mega Drop
The Missouri Mega Drop is a random drawing for users who opt in between Nov. 17 and Nov. 30. No wager is required. Forty winners will be selected around Dec. 1, with prizes including VIP Chiefs tickets, autographed items, store credit and $1,000 in bonus bets. Customers may opt in once.

FanDuel Missouri Refer-a-Friend
The refer-a-friend promotion awards $100 in bonus bets when a referred customer signs up, deposits $5 or more and settles a $5 wager. Bonuses are issued within 72 hours and expire after seven days. Each user can earn up to five referral bonuses in 30 days.
Stackable offers for new Missouri sports betting fans
FanDuel is also promoting a separate offer through FanDuel Picks. New customers who place a first real-money entry of $5 receive $60 in Picks bonus credit. No opt-in is required, and the bonus arrives within 72 hours. The offer is limited to one bonus per person and available to Missouri customers during the launch period.
FanDuel continues to use the “America’s No. 1 sportsbook” branding, signaling confidence ahead of the Dec. 1 debut.
The platform is also highlighting Sports Betting 101 resources that explain bet types, odds, rewards, responsible betting and how to save a bet — tools designed to support first-time users before launch.
Why Missouri bettors gain early advantage
FanDuel’s launch strategy suggests Missouri’s online sports betting market is poised to become highly competitive. Strong pre-launch offers and Missouri-themed contests help FanDuel build awareness before the first wagers are placed, while also pressuring rival operators to match similar value.
Early registration bonuses and free-to-play games help drive sign-ups and lock in users ahead of launch. Missouri customers receive one of the strongest introductory packages in the country, along with education on odds, betting formats and responsible gambling tools as legal wagering begins in the state.
What to expect when FanDuel goes live Dec. 1
On Dec. 1, FanDuel will begin paying out pre-launch bonus bets and contest rewards as the Missouri sportsbook goes live. Early registrants can place their first wagers and explore the full menu of markets and features. FanDuel is expected to rotate new promotions around key games and major events as the opening season continues.
