Missouri voters narrowly passed Amendment 2, which legalizes online and retail sports betting in the state, last November and state officials certified the results a month later. The Missouri Gaming Commission originally attempted to expedite the launch of sports betting by submitting emergency rules, but they were rejected by the Missouri Secretary of State. As a result, the MGC adhered to the constitutional deadline of Dec. 1 set by Amendment 2.

The following is a brief timeline regarding the legalization of sports betting in Missouri:

Up to 14 sportsbooks can operate once sports betting in Missouri officially goes live on Dec. 1. Two untethered licenses have already been awarded to Circa and DraftKings in Missouri, meaning those operators do not require an in-state partner. 

Now that sports betting is live in Missouri, residents of the Show-Me State can bet on the Chiefs' odds in their Week 14 home tilt against the Houston Texans on Sunday night.

Top sportsbook apps are available on Apple devices via the App Store, as well as on Android devices in the Google Play Store. Here are what the reviews for each app look like on each store and the total number of ratings each app has, as of December 3, 2025.

The Missouri Gaming Commission, which was established in 1993 to regulate excursion gambling boats, is in charge of licensing and regulating sports betting in the state. It licenses operators and enforces compliance with state rules. The MGC is overseen by five commissioners appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, and it is operated daily by an appointed executive director. In addition, the Secretary of State reviews and approves the Commission's rules and regulations.

The Missouri Gaming Commission can be reached through the following methods:

The tax rate for legal sports betting in Missouri is 10% of sports betting revenue. First, the revenue from the tax is used to cover the Missouri Gaming Commission's regulatory costs. At least $5 million or 10% of the remaining revenue, whichever is greater, then goes to the Compulsive Gambling Prevention Fund. Whatever funds exist after that go toward K-12 and higher education in the state.

There are several resources available in Missouri and nationwide for individuals with compulsive gambling problems.

Sportsbooks also offer responsible gambling resources, such as tips, advice and guides, but not all operators are the same, so customer support should be contacted in order to receive more information.
