As of my last update in early 2023, online betting in Missouri was limited. While Missouri had legalized sports betting, it was initially restricted to in-person betting at physical sportsbooks located within casinos. However, the state legislature had been considering expanding this to include online sports betting.
In November 2020, Missouri voters approved a constitutional amendment that allowed for sports betting, but the enabling legislation had yet to fully embrace online betting platforms at the time of my last update. The Missouri Gaming Commission was responsible for regulating sports betting in the state, and they had been working on the rules and regulations for both retail and, potentially, online sports betting.
It’s important to note that the legal landscape for gambling can change rapidly, and states often update their laws. To get the most current information on whether online betting is legal in Missouri, you should check the latest state laws, the Missouri Gaming Commission’s website, or consult with a legal expert in the state. Additionally, you should ensure that any online betting platform you consider is legally operating within Missouri and is properly licensed and regulated.
