Missouri Sports Betting Set to Launch on December 1, 2025: Latest Updates and Partnerships
Missouri Sports Betting Set to Launch December 1, 2025
ST. LOUIS, MO — Excitement is building as Missouri prepares to launch sports betting on December 1, 2025, following voter approval of a ballot measure last year. With the NFL and college football seasons kicking off soon, sports fans and betting operators are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to place wagers on their favorite teams.
The Missouri Gaming Commission recently held a meeting to discuss the upcoming launch, reassuring stakeholders that there are no delays in the timeline. Among the most significant developments is Circa Sportsbook’s recent victory over FanDuel for one of the two untethered licenses available, with DraftKings securing the other. This means that other sportsbooks will need to partner with local professional sports teams or casinos to operate in the state.
The St. Louis Cardinals were quick to announce a partnership with bet365, marking the first known collaboration in the state. Other notable partnerships include BetMGM with Century Casinos and Fanatics with Boyd Gaming, which operates Ameristar Casino in Kansas City and Ameristar Casino Resort and Spa in St. Charles. FanDuel, despite missing out on an untethered license, has teamed up with MLS club St. Louis City SC.
As the launch date approaches, both Caesars Sportsbook and ESPN BET are exploring retail operations, likely through partnerships with local casinos. The Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, Blues, Sporting KC, and Kansas City Current remain potential partners for sportsbooks looking to establish a presence in Missouri.
On the daily fantasy sports front, Underdog has yet to announce any partnerships but is committed to launching in the state.
With the countdown to December 1 underway, Missouri is poised to join the ranks of states embracing sports betting, promising a thrilling new chapter for fans and operators alike.
