Voter approval indicates up to 14 mobile sportsbooks could start accepting bets next year. It is not likely all 14 readily available licenses are utilized.

DraftKings and FanDuel financed almost every dollar of the "yes" campaign and will unquestionably use to take bets in the Show Me State. They will likely each pursue the two "untethered" licenses readily available without needing to partner with a Missouri brick-and-mortar gambling establishment or sports betting team (and pay an accompanying fee).

Six licenses are offered to each Missouri gambling establishment operator, respectively. Caesars, in spite of opposing the tally procedure, will likely use its license to introduce the Caesars mobile sportsbook. Penn Entertainment, which manages ESPN Bet, and Bally's (Bally Bet) will likewise likely launch their respective books.

Missouri's tally measure enables every Missouri casino to open retail sportsbooks on their respective homes. Most if not all 13 gambling establishments handled by the 6 gambling establishment operators are anticipated to open in-person wagering choices such as wagering kiosks and possibly committed, full-service sportsbooks.

The 6 sports betting teams can also open in-person sportsbooks within or surrounding to their respective home playing places. Missouri will join Illinois, Maryland, Arizona, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. among jurisdictions that permit in-stadium retail sportsbooks.

The language around the ballot procedure needs the very first licensed sportsbooks to begin accepting wagers by Dec. 1, 2025.

Missouri sports betting background

The successful Missouri sports betting wagering campaign comes regardless of millions in funding opposing the step from among the state's biggest sports betting stakeholders.

Caesars invested countless dollars to defeat the step. In most other states that tie online sports betting with a state's brick-and-mortar gambling establishments, an operator is granted at least one license per managed property.

Because scenario in Missouri, Caesars would be afforded at least three potential licenses, one for each casino it handles. Instead, Caesars just has one. In states with the license-per-property model, business can either open additional internal books or, more commonly, farm out the license to a rival that pays an accompanying cost in exchange.

FanDuel and DraftKings, which have roughly two-thirds of U.S. nationwide sports betting handle market share, could potentially have an upper hand on their rivals by making the set of untethered licenses. It stays to be seen which 2 books will earn these slots, however the language around the ballot procedure would appear to favor the two nationwide market leaders.

earlier in the year showed the "yes" vote with a slight lead. Support efforts were bolstered by 10s of millions invested by DraftKings and FanDuel.

A series of tv and radio ads focused on the income legal sportsbooks would generate for Missouri public education. Opponents, moneyed mainly by Caesars, argued the supporters' advertisements were misleading and the 10s of countless projected dollars raised would have a minimal effect in a state that already spends billions on education each year.
