Kansas Might Not Be Ready By Football Season for Sports Betting

Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission didn't vote on draft regulations for the rollout of betting. Next board meeting is on August 12. The NFL starts on Sept. 8. Bill's Bills are one-point favorites over the Rams. The Kansas Lottery is responsible for overseeing the launch of the new sportsbook apps in the state. Testing and licensing requirements still need to be completed before the apps could go live. They have to go through independent test labs and have letters certifying that the equipment is ready to use.

The Kansas Lottery and KRGC are working together to set a launch date for sports betting. The Kansas City Chiefs start their season against the Arizona Cardinals on September 11. They are three-point favorites. The state's lottery is more of the owner-operator and the KR GC is the regulator. It's important to uphold the integrity of gaming and sports wagering in Kansas.
