When Does Missouri Sports Betting Launch?<\/h2>\n
Missouri sports betting<\/b> will soon be made a reality, and fans all throughout the state will have the chance to profit from all their favorite teams. Gone will be the days of jumping in the car and driving across state borders to place legal sports wagers. Bettors in the Show-Me State will soon have the luxury of online sportsbooks on all their mobile devices.<\/p>\n
Sports betting has not yet been legalized in Missouri, after multiple failed attempts in the latter stages of 2022. In fact, Missouri legislators have been pushing for legal sports betting since 2018, and the hope is that 2023 will finally see the breakthrough.<\/p>\n
While a potential launch date has not yet been revealed, the efforts to legalize the operation have gotten off to a fast start in 2023. Two new bills were already filed by lawmakers in Missouri to kick off the 2023 state legislature session. Just like in 2022, there will likely be multiple continued efforts in 2023 as legalization has become a popular point of emphasis.<\/p>\n
To this point, all of Missouri\u2019s neighboring states except Kentucky and Oklahoma have already legalized sports betting, and some have launched with great success. This should add even more haste to the efforts in Missouri, and prospective bettors will certainly be hoping for a speedy 2023 arrival.<\/p>\n
Missouri Sports Betting Legal Launch Timeline<\/h2>\n
The push for sports betting in Missouri has been quite the adventure, with lawmakers still working to get legalization over the line. With a fast start to the 2023 efforts, there is real hope that legalization and launch could happen this year.<\/p>\n
Here’s how the timeline looks regarding the MO sports betting scene:<\/p>\n
- \n
- January 2018:<\/strong> The effort to legalize sports betting in Missouri begins when Rep. Bart Korman introduces HB 2320 at the 99th Missouri General Assembly.<\/li>\n
- February<\/strong> 2018:<\/strong> Sen. Danny Hoskins and Rep. Dean Plocher introduce SB 1013 and HB 2535. Both bills would authorize sports betting online and on Missouri’s riverboats while adhering to NBA and MLB requests to control league data.<\/li>\n
- April 2018:<\/strong> Movement stalls out during the Missouri House Budget Committee’s public hearing, and with legislation unlikely to pass before the May 18th deadline, the hopes for Missouri sports betting in 2018 are eliminated.<\/li>\n
- November 2018:<\/strong> Rep. Cody Smith pre-files HB 119, offering royalty fees to professional sports leagues and the NCAA for wagers involving their teams\/players.<\/li>\n
- January 2019:<\/strong> The new year of legislation features SB 44, HB 119, and Sen. Lincoln Hough’s newly introduced SB 222.<\/li>\n
- February 2019:<\/strong> HB 859 is later introduced as the House version of SB 222, receiving a second reading in very short order.<\/li>\n
- October 2019:<\/strong> After a few months of little to no movements, a hearing is held by the Special Interim Committee on Gaming in the Missouri House of Reps. The subjects of the hearing are sports betting, daily fantasy sports, and video lottery terminals.<\/li>\n
- December 2019:<\/strong> SB 567 and SB 754 are pre-filed by Sen. Danny Hoskins and Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, the bills would allow for remote registration.<\/li>\n
- January 2020:<\/strong> Rep. Dan Shaul files HB 2088 which quickly clears the state’s House Special Committee on Government Oversight.<\/li>\n
- February 2020:<\/strong> Rep. Cody Smith (who sponsored HB 119) introduces JB 2284 in a re-tooled effort with an alteration made to the aforementioned royalty fees.<\/li>\n
- March 2020:<\/strong> The COVID-19 pandemic affects areas all over the world and puts a lockdown on much of the nation. This effectively halts any movement on the Missouri sports betting front.<\/li>\n
- December 2020:<\/strong> SB 18, SB 217, and SB 256 are all pre-filed for the 2021 session. All three bills would legalize Missouri sports betting on both online and retail fronts, with each of the platforms tied to brick-and-mortar locations regulated by the Missouri Gaming Commission.<\/li>\n
- February 2021:<\/strong> Missouri lawmakers meet to review the pre-filed sports betting bills from the closing 2020 session.<\/li>\n
- April 2021:<\/strong> The prospective legislation does not receive the necessary votes to pass, killing off any chances of a 2021 sports betting legalization.<\/li>\n
- December<\/strong> 2021:<\/strong> Rep. Christo Fanelli submits HB 1666 to legalize sports betting, calling for a 6.75% tax rate and no league data mandate. HB 2080 is also introduced by Rep. Dan Shaul allowing for Missouri online wagering with no requirement for in-person registration.<\/li>\n
- January 2022:<\/strong> Six Missouri professional sports teams\/casino operators back a proposal for mobile betting tethered to existing Missouri retail locations.<\/li>\n
- February 2022:<\/strong> HB 2502 and HB 2556 are at the forefront of discussions for the new year of legislation.<\/li>\n
- March 2022:<\/strong> The circulating bills (HB 2502 and HB 2556) are consolidated into one bill known as HB 2502.<\/li>\n
- April 2022:<\/strong> HB 2502 ultimately fails to reach legalization with hopes for Missouri sports betting once again tabled until the new year.<\/li>\n
- January 2023:<\/b> The Missouri House gives the first reading to Rep. Dan Houx\u2019s Missouri sports betting bill, HB 556. Another sports betting bill, HB 581, was also filed.<\/li>\n
- January 2023:<\/b> Multiple Missouri publications have labeled sports betting as one of the key legislative issues to watch heading into 2023. Just like in 2022, there will be multiple bills arranged to be introduced during the session, which will likely lead to a number of lively debates.<\/li>\n
- March 2023:<\/strong> HB 556, HB 581, and SB 30 are all backed by numerous professional sports teams and casino operators\/sportsbooks. The early reports are bullish that Missouri could give the green light to sports betting during the 2023 legislative year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There is still much work to be done before Missouri can legalize sports betting, but there is real hope that 2023 could see the industry go live. Once the state has officially made the sports betting industry legal, the next step of the process will likely see a state commission appointed to handle the regulations of launch.<\/p>\n
