Kansas Blocks 16,000 Missouri Sports Bettors on Launch

Bettors in Kansas fired the state's legal sports betting market into life on launch day.

GeoComply Solutions blocked 16,000 attempts to access Kansas sportsbook apps from Missouri on Thursday. 60% of the attempts came from Kansas City. The company approved over 522,00 geolocation checks within Kansas state in the first eight hours of market going live.

Kansas City Chiefs made BetMGM their exclusive sports betting partner on Thursday. Missouri Republican State Senator Caleb Rowden is upset that Kansas has launched sports gambling first.

Pappas is not surprised about the thousands of Missourians trying to piggyback on Kansas' party. GeoComply's remit is to prevent people from using this form of recreation.

Kansas blocks 16,000 Missouri Sports Bettors on Launch. Six sportsbooks approved by the state lottery will start accepting online wagers in Kansas from September 1. BetMGM, Barstool Sportsbook, Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel, and PointsBet rolled out their apps Thursday as part of a soft launch that will shift into full launch mode on September 8.
