The Missouri Gaming Commission is gearing up to make license applications for sports betting available by May 15, as announced on their website. This move comes after voters passed Amendment 2 last year, which mandated the commission to license and regulate sports betting in the state by December 1, 2025. However, the launch timeline was delayed due to the rejection of the commission’s emergency licensing rules by Secretary of State Denny Hoskins.
To ensure proper review of applications before issuing temporary licenses, applications will be available in May. A public hearing on licensing rules is scheduled for April 17 at the Missouri Gaming Commission’s Hearing Room in Jefferson City. This development marks a significant step towards the implementation of sports betting in Missouri, providing opportunities for businesses and individuals interested in this rapidly growing industry.
ABC 17 News is encouraging civil and constructive conversation on this topic and invites the community to share their thoughts. As the state moves closer to making sports betting a reality, it opens up avenues for economic growth and entertainment opportunities. Stay tuned for further updates on the progress of sports betting in Missouri as the commission continues to work towards its implementation.
