Bet365, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, Circa Sports, DraftKings, ESPN BET, Fanatics Sportsbook, FanDuel, and Underdog Sports.

- February 21, 2025: Missouri's launch date for sports betting sites is delayed. The proposed emergency sports betting rules that would've accelerated Missouri's sports betting launch were denied because the Secretary of State did not think it warranted an emergency rule-making designation.

- November 22, 2023: A group of Missouri's professional sports teams formed a coalition and began efforts to introduce a sports betting ballot to Missouri voters for the 2024 election.
Why Can't You Bet on Sports in Missouri yet?
Although sports betting is legalized in the Show-Me State, placing wagers is still not permitted because the state government is still establishing the final laws and licenses that will be in effect when sports betting becomes live.
When Can You Legally Bet on Sports in Missouri?
By December 1, 2025, you will be able to place legal sports bets from anywhere in Missouri's borders.
How to Get Started With Missouri Sports Betting Sites
It doesn't matter if you’re using your desktop computer, smartphone, or tablet; getting signed up with Missouri betting sites is straightforward. The order in which you create an account may differ between operators - some might ask you to create a username and password first, others will focus on personal information - but, either way, the same process applies.
Here’s all you need to do to get started with your Missouri sports betting journey.
If you selected a betting site that doesn't automatically apply your welcome bonus, this is where you must ensure that you've claimed the reward or entered an applicable promo code with your new account. Missouri sports betting bonuses and welcome offers are the best way to get a strong start with your account, so pay close attention to the details.
Next, put money into your account so that you'll be able to place a bet. This may also be the next step in triggering a welcome bonus, depending on the betting site. Choose your preferred method, whether it's straight from the bank or through popular e-wallets like Venmo, PayPal, and Apple Pay, and deposit funds into your sports betting account.
With money in your account, you can bet on sports! Find your first bet in the sportsbook, choose your bet amount, and confirm your wager. If your first bet is part of a welcome bonus, make sure it meets the terms and that a corresponding token is applied if necessary. After you submit your wager, you've placed your first sports bet in Missouri!
Best Missouri Sports Betting Apps
Most sports bets these days are placed on mobile devices. They could be at home, in a store, or even at the game they're betting on! The point is that using a sports betting app is the preferred method for sports bettors across the country.

Missouri Sports Betting FAQs
Yes, sports betting is technically legal in Missouri, although it isn't live yet. Soon, bettors will be able to place legal wagers in Missouri.
Missouri sports betting is expected to go live on December 1, 2025.
As of now, it's unclear if Missouri's sports betting laws will permit NFL Draft wagering. So far, only seven states that allow online sports betting have prohibited betting on the NFL Draft. Based on that, it's likely that Missouri will allow NFL Draft wagers as well.
It's uncertain whether or not Missouri will permit legal Esports betting. Currently, there's nothing prohibiting Esports wagering written in the state's sports betting laws. That could be a positive sign that Esports betting will be allowed.
There are projected to be 11 operators when sports betting goes live in December. However, none of Missouri's sports betting sites are live yet.
The minimum sports betting age in Missouri is likely to be 21+, to match the minimum age at Missouri casinos.
It's not certain yet whether Missouri sports betting will include college sports. If it does, there's still a small chance that wagering on programs like the Missouri Tigers will be prohibited. Collegiate player props are another bet type that may be banned in Missouri.
You are allowed to create an account with as many Missouri sports betting sites as you want! However, you can only create one account with each operator.
No, if you are at least 21 years old, you will be permitted to bet on sports while you're within Missouri's borders. So, visitors from Oklahoma or Nebraska, for example, will be allowed to bet on sports in Missouri!
