Today at noon Kansas will join 31 US states that have some form of legal sports betting. Kansas will be the second fastest state behind only Iowa to go from legal to live, and Kansas will also be the 3rd state this year to go live digital.
A total of 12 sportsbooks will be allowed to operate. Six platforms - Barstool Sportsbook, BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings, FanDuel, and PointsBet are cleared and have committed to go live today at noon, while FOX Bet, Bally Bet, and Golden Nugget, have market access, but the Kansas Lottery, which oversees Kansas sports betting, say they have not been approved for the launch. Bally Bet and Golden Nugget both obtained skins through deals with Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City, and neither will have a retail location. FOX Bet gained access through a deal with Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway.
There are several incentives and bonuses available from all six digital operators, depending on where and how you want to place your bets.
