Missouri legal sports betting to begin on 1 December

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Legal sports betting has announced a launch date in Missouri. On 1 December, the new market will officially go live, according to the Missouri Gaming Regulator.

Below is the message posted on the Missouri Gaming Regulator's website:

"The commission intends to work with our stakeholders to make license applications available on May 15 so that interested parties can start the process gathering the necessary documents to complete their applications. Our licensing rules are scheduled to become effective August 30, so this interim period from May 15 to August 30 will help ensure that the commission has time to properly review applications before decisions are made and temporary licenses are issued. With this timeline, sports wagering will go live by the constitutionally required start date of December 1, 2025."
