After years of effort and negotiation, Missouri is set to begin regulated sports betting at midnight on Monday, Dec. 1, 2025.
Missourians will have two ways to place legal sports bets once the market launches: through mobile apps and websites, and at approved retail sportsbooks inside casinos and licensed venues. Online wagering will allow anyone 21 or older, physically located within state lines, to bet from their phone or computer, while retail sportsbooks will offer on-site betting windows and kiosks for those who prefer an in-person experience.
Below is what you should know: when Missouri sports betting goes live, how it works, which operators are in at launch, and what special sign-up offers are available.

Missouri Sports Betting Launch Date & Timing
Sports betting in Missouri officially goes live at midnight on Dec. 1, 2025, the earliest time the state’s regulators will allow both retail (at casinos and other approved locations) and online sportsbooks to begin accepting bets.
That means for bettors in the state: you’ll be able to place wagers at home or in-person starting right at the start of the day — though note that many major games may still be ahead (for example, any Sunday games that week) and the first big betting rush may follow.
How Missouri Sports Betting Works
- You must be 21 or older to place bets in Missouri.
- Online wagering is permitted: yes, you will be able to download and use sportsbook apps from your couch in Missouri, once the system goes live.
- Live / in-play betting (bets while games are underway) will also be offered, giving bettors more flexibility.
- A total of 10 sportsbooks are licensed to launch on Day One—meaning registration can begin before Dec. 1 even if betting itself doesn’t start until midnight.
- Important tip: even if you sign up early, read the fine print on any sign-up offers (deposit requirements, wager minimums, bonus bet expiry, etc.).
Also remember: as with any gambling product, only bet what you can afford. The state help line is listed for problem gambling support.

What’s Next for Missouri sports betting
The legalization of sports betting in Missouri wasn’t smooth sailing: a tight margin in the vote and delays in rulemaking held up a faster launch.
While many in the state hoped for a summer launch, the regulatory timeline pushed the launch to Dec. 1 — the latest permissible date under the legislation.
For bettors: because launch is in early December, there will likely be strong interest around NFL games (including the Week 14 Sunday Night Football game between Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs) and perhaps better market variety and competitive offers in the early weeks.
What to Do If You’re in Missouri
If you reside in Missouri and are 21+, you can pre-register with the licensed sportsbooks now in anticipation of the Dec. 1 launch.
Compare the sign-up offers carefully: check minimum deposits, qualifying bets, expiration of bonus bets, and wagering requirements.
Decide whether you prefer a large, established operator (e.g., DraftKings, FanDuel) or a niche book (e.g., Fanatics), given what features you care about (parlays, live-betting, interface, bonuses).
Be aware of responsible gambling resources: use limits, self-exclusion tools, and recognize that early launch offers often come with strings attached.
Stay tuned to the sportsbook’s app store listings, the state regulator’s announcements, and local casino/retail venues for in-person wagering options.
Bottom Line
December 1, 2025 marks a big milestone for sports bettors in Missouri — the ability to legally wager online or in a casino setting within the state.
With six major operators already offering competitive sign-up bonuses and the promise of live-betting markets from day one, the market is shaping up to be vibrant and competitive. As always, do your homework, read the fine print, and bet responsibly.
