Kansas Sports Betting: PointsBet to Be Part of State's Soft Launch

PointsBet will be one of the initial sportsbooks participating in tomorrow's soft launch for sports betting in Kansas. The company entered into a primary skin agreement with Kansas Crossing Casino. The official launch of legal sports gambling in the state is on September 8th. PointsBet is the 11th U.S. state where it has a presence.

Kansas Crossing Casino will partner with BetMGM and Caesars for online betting. DraftKings, Barstool Sportsbook, and FanDuel are expected to launch operations on Thursday. FOX Bet has partnered with Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway. Bally Bet and Golden Nugget have aligned with Boot Hill Casino.

The state legislature approved sports betting in May. The law went into effect on July 1. Attorney General Derek Schmidt rejected several wagering-related regulations on August 20. He sent them back to his office a week later and they were approved four days before Thursday's soft launch.
