Missouri to Legalize Sports Betting: A New Era BeginsMissouri is set to make history as sports betting becomes legal across the state, starting December 1st. The Missouri Gaming Commission has approved six temporary mobile licenses and five temporary retail licenses, ending a long-standing prohibition. This change follows a statewide vote in November 2024, where citizens approved the measure. The new law brings essential consumer protections, including age verification, secure payment processing, and tools for customers to set spending and time limits. At least five million dollars from gambling revenue will go directly to addiction services. This move ensures guaranteed payouts for winning bets and a system for reporting suspicious activity, creating a more secure and responsible betting environment for everyone in Missouri.
