Kansas Sports Betting Reveals Appeal of Online Apps

On Sept. 1, Kansas became the first state to legalize sports betting. More than 16,000 people in Missouri tried to place wagers during the weekend of live betting in Kansas. The law requires a person to be within the state’s 82,00 square miles to bet online. BetMGM formed a partnership with the Kansas City Chiefs. The bill signed by Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly required a portion of state revenue to help attract a professional sports franchise to the area. It took years of political wrangling in the Legislature. State-owned casinos joined forces with DraftKings, FanDuel, Ceasars Sportsbook, Barstool Sports Book, Points Bet and BetGM.
