Missouri online sports betting officially launches Dec. 1, 2025, bringing DraftKings’ full sportsbook platform to the state. Residents can get an early start through pre-registration, which opens today and allows new users to explore the app, set up accounts and prepare for launch day. The timing places DraftKings in the middle of the NFL, college football and basketball seasons, giving bettors plenty of wagering options on day one.

Missouri’s rollout is structured around two important dates.
Nov. 17 — Pre-registration begins.
On this date, Missourians can sign up on the DraftKings website or app, complete identity verification and familiarize themselves with the sportsbook. Pre-registering also ensures that users are ready to place bets the moment the platform goes live.
Dec. 1 — Sports betting launches statewide.
DraftKings will activate its sportsbook at launch. To claim the welcome offer, new users must place a $5 wager on or after this date. Once that bet settles, $300 in bonus bets will be awarded to qualifying accounts.
How to get started:
- Select Sign Up on the DraftKings website or app.
- Enter personal information and complete identity verification.
- Confirm your Missouri location and accept the platform’s terms.
- Place a $5 wager when betting opens on Dec. 1.
- Receive $300 in bonus bets once the qualifying bet settles.
Pre-registration takes only a few minutes and ensures the account is ready for launch day. Bonus bets expire after seven days, so planning ahead is recommended.
DraftKings Missouri $300 bonus and who qualifies
DraftKings’ Missouri welcome offer gives new users $300 in bonus bets when they place a first wager of at least $5. No promo code is required. The bonus is issued only after the qualifying wager settles.
The $300 is divided into twelve $25 bonus bets, each of which expires seven days after being credited. Bonus bets cannot be withdrawn, but any winnings generated from them are added to the user’s cash balance.
To qualify for the offer, users must:
- Be new to DraftKings
- Be at least 21 years old
- Be physically located in Missouri when placing bets
- Enable geolocation (via Wi-Fi or GPS)
- Complete identity verification during sign-up
DraftKings’ geolocation software confirms that all wagers are placed within state lines.
