Missouri Sportsbook Promos

Missouri sports betting is not legal, but voters could have a say on changing that at the November polls. DFS pick’em and social sportsbooks are available statewide, but the Missouri Gaming Commission asked operators to stop offering against-the-house pick’em contests in March 2024. Peer-to-peer fantasy contests are live on several platforms.

Can you bet on sports in Missouri?

As of October 2024, Missouri sports betting is not legal, but that may not be the case for long. The Missouri Secretary of State’s Office certified a sports betting measure for the ballot in November, but a lawsuit has since challenged that certification process. The first hearing for the lawsuit took place on Sept. 5.

When will online sportsbooks come to Missouri?

The outcome of the pending lawsuit against the Missouri sports betting initiative will determine whether sports betting can appear on November’s ballot. If the issue does appear on the ballot and Missourians vote to legalize sports betting, online sportsbooks and sportsbook promos could launch sometime in 2025. 

Recent polling in the state suggests voters generally favor legalizing online sports betting.

Possible Missouri sportsbook promos

While sports betting legalization still has a few hills to climb in Missouri, we can make a reasonable guess at which sportsbooks could be among the first to launch in the state. Missouri would be an attractive location for sports betting companies as it is a fairly populous state with several pro sports teams.

For now, sports fans can use DFS pick’em and social sportsbook apps like Fliff, Underdog Fantasy, Thrillzz, DraftKings, and FanDuel.

DraftKings Sportsbook

DraftKings is usually at the forefront of any new state launch of legal sports betting, and the company already has a strong presence in Missouri through its DFS product. DraftKings has also contributed millions of dollars to the Winning for Missouri Education campaign fund in the push to get sports betting on the ballot this November. DraftKings also operates one of the closest retail sportsbooks to the state of Missouri at DraftKings at Casino Queen in East St. Louis, Illinois.

FanDuel Sportsbook

FanDuel contributed millions to the Winning for Missouri Education campaign alongside DraftKings and also has a presence in the state through DFS. FanDuel also has sportsbooks at Boyd Gaming-owned casinos in different parts of the country. Boyd owns and operates two casinos in Missouri.

Fanatics Sportsbook

As one of the fastest-growing sports betting sites in the US, Fanatics Sportsbook has been part of the initial roster of sportsbooks in a few recently launched states. Missouri would likely be no different for the book from the apparel and memorabilia giant. 

bet365

Bet365 is also expanding its reach in the US with recent launches in North Carolina, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. This Europe-based sportsbook is likely to be part of any new state launch, including Missouri.

Caesars Sportsbook

Global casino company Caesars already owns three locations in Missouri, making Caesars Sportsbook one of the likeliest platforms to join a newly legal sports betting industry in the state.

ESPN Bet

ESPN Bet’s parent company, Penn Entertainment, owns three Missouri casino locations and is another logical pick to be part of legal sports betting in the state.

Responsible gambling in Missouri

There are many resources available in Missouri if you or someone you care about is suffering from problem gambling. The Missouri Gambling Commission website offers access to a self-exclusion list, among other resources.

The Missouri Department of Mental Health also offers treatment for compulsive gambling.

The National Council on Problem Gambling is another good resource. It can be reached by calling 1-800-GAMBLER or texting 800GAM.
