Kansas November Sports Betting Surpasses $290M in Handle
Kansas reported record-breaking sports betting figures for November, the third month of bets on the 2024-25 NFL regular season. Sunflower State bettors wagered $291 million, a 5.5% increase from the previous record in October. Last month, the handle came to $275.9 million. The handle total also marks an 11.5% year-on-year increase from $260.9 million in November 2023.
Kansas’ six online sportsbooks contributed the most. They drew in a $279 million handle, making up almost 96.0% of the monthly total, and close to $24.7 million in revenue.
The state is also home to four retail sports betting locations, including ESPN BET at Hollywood Casino, the FanDuel Sportsbook in Kansas Star Casino, DraftKings at Boot Hill Casino & Resort, and Kansas Crossing’s Caesars Sportsbook. In November, these venues contributed $873,172 to the revenue total from a $12 million handle.
While the Kansas City Chiefs are based in neighboring Missouri, they’re also the most popular NFL team in Kansas. So far this season, the Chiefs won all but one of their 13 games.
The loss actually came in mid-November, with quarterback Josh Allen sealing the Buffalo Bills’ 30-21 win. With Kansas bettors likely backing the Chiefs during the game, this loss could have contributed to extra revenue for the state’s books to keep during the month.
The Chiefs are among the favorites to win Super Bowl LIX. The NFL is a particularly popular time of year for sports betting operators, with the American Gaming Association predicting bettors will wager around $35 billion on this season’s games. Like many states, Kansas reported a surge in betting activity from September onwards every year since it launched legal sports betting.
