Missouri Opens Sports-Betting Pre-Registration as Nine Books Prep for Dec. 1 Launch

Operators court early users with large bonuses, universal wallets, app portability to set expectations for launch.

Overview

  • As of Nov. 17, users physically in Missouri can create accounts and deposit with licensed sportsbooks, but no wagers can be placed until 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 1.
  • Nine operators are slated for day-one access after receiving temporary approvals: FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, bet365, Circa, Underdog and theScore Bet.
  • Eligibility relies on geolocation rather than residency, requires bettors to be 21 or older, and includes identity verification with a valid Social Security number.
  • Most books will support universal wallets that let existing customers use their same accounts in Missouri without new downloads or sign-ups.
  • Caesars confirmed Missouri sign-ups and funding are live, will debut Universal Digital Wallet on launch day, and is running an NFL Flips game starting Nov. 24, while operators collectively advertise roughly $5,000–$6,000 in pre-registration bonuses.
