Kansas sports betting background
Kansas introduced its first legal mobile sportsbooks in 2022. Six books now take bets: sports betting BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, ESPN BET, Fanatics and FanDuel.
The ability to place legal bets in Kansas attracts bettors on the Missouri side of the Kansas City city location to Kansas to bet, sports betting with some doing so most or nearly every day of the week.
That might alter if Kansas legislators overthrow the existing regulative structure. Sources tell Covers some legislators desire to increase the state's sports betting tax earnings, amongst the most affordable per capita of any of the 30 states with statewide legal mobile sportsbooks.
Kansas' most likely reconsideration of its six-book legal sports wagering market next year will come after Missouri goes live with as many as a dozen books
