Missouri sports bettors have been crossing over into Kansas for nearly three years to place legal sports bets, but now Kansas residents may not have to make the trip to Missouri as Kansas has launched its first legal mobile sportsbooks in 2022. This development allows residents to place bets through platforms such as BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, ESPN BET, Fanatics, and FanDuel.
The easy access to legal betting in Kansas has attracted many bettors from Missouri, especially those in the Kansas City metro area, to cross the state line to place their bets. Some bettors have been coming to Kansas almost daily to participate in legal sports betting. However, this trend could change as Kansas lawmakers are reportedly considering changes to the current regulatory structure.
Sources have revealed that some lawmakers are looking to increase the state’s sports betting tax revenue, which is currently among the lowest per capita compared to the 30 states that have legalized statewide mobile sportsbooks. If changes are implemented, it could potentially impact the attractiveness of Kansas as a destination for sports bettors, including those from Missouri.
The introduction of legal mobile sportsbooks in Kansas has provided new opportunities for residents to engage in legal sports betting without having to cross state lines. However, the future of sports betting regulation in Kansas remains uncertain as lawmakers consider potential changes to the current system.
