DraftKings Set to Launch Mobile Sports Wagering in Missouri on December 1
DraftKings Inc. announced plans to launch its top-rated mobile sportsbook in Missouri on December 1, 2025. Earlier this year, the Missouri Gaming Commission granted DraftKings a temporary direct mobile sports wagering license, allowing DraftKings to operate independently across the state without the need for affiliation with a land-based casino or professional sports team.
Missouri will become the 29th U.S. state where DraftKings offers sports wagering, in addition to Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Ontario, Canada. DraftKings has been an Official Sports Betting Operator of the Chiefs since 2022 and recently became an Official Sports Betting and Daily Fantasy Sports Operator of the St. Louis Blues.
Eligible customers in Missouri will gain access to DraftKings’ wide range of betting options — including same-game parlays, in-game wagering and special odds boosts — and a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools and resources on December 1.
“DraftKings is built for passionate sports fans, making Missouri an exciting jurisdiction for us to enter with its rich sports culture, and several professional teams across the state. This is an incredible time of year for sports fans with NFL, NBA, NHL, college football, and college basketball all in-season, and we look forward to elevating the experience for Missouri sports fans, responsibly, with our top-rated online sportsbook,” said DraftKings’ Chief Revenue Officer Greg Karamitis.
To celebrate the launch of legal online sports wagering in Missouri, DraftKings will host a ceremonial first bet event on December 1 at The Palladium in St. Louis, featuring Missouri sports legends Tony Gonzalez, Isaac Bruce and Brett Hull. The event will include ceremonial first bets from the icons, along with remarks from Missouri House Speaker Jonathan Patterson.
