(PRESS RELEASE) -- After Governor Laura Kelly’s announcement last week that sports wagering in Kansas will begin with a soft launch starting at noon on Thursday, 1 September, followed by a full opening on 8 September, the Kansas Lottery is pleased to announce which sports wagering platforms will be available to the public on launch day.

Per Senate Bill 84, each state operated casino in Kansas will be able to offer both in-person sportsbooks and mobile sports betting on up to three platforms or applications. The partnerships are as follows:

Boot Hill Casino and Resort in Dodge City will offer mobile sports betting through DraftKings, with an in-person sports wagering date to be announced in the near future. In the interim, players are still welcome to visit Boot Hill Casino and Resort and place wagers via a mobile application while there.

Kansas Crossing Casino and Hotel in Pittsburg will offer mobile sports betting through BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, and PointsBet, with an in-person sports wagering date to be announced in the near future. In the interim, players are still welcome to visit Kansas Crossing Casino and place wagers via a mobile application while there.
