Overview
- Pre-registration began November 17, allowing Missourians to create accounts and deposit funds now, with wagering to start on December 1.
- Several operators have temporary approval for day one, including FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, Fanatics and Underdog.
- Promotions vary by brand, with offers such as FanDuel’s bet $5, get $400 in bonus bets, DraftKings’ bet $5, get $300 on launch day and BetMGM’s up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if the first bet loses.
- Most pre-launch bonuses require signup by November 30 and standard terms apply, including age 21+ and physical presence in Missouri when betting begins.
- The in-state launch follows years of cross-border wagering to Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas and Kentucky, a pattern officials expect to reduce with local market access.
