Missouri Regulated Sports Betting to Start Three Months Into 2025 NFL Regular Season

The Missouri Gaming Commission began its sports betting licensing process as residents and visitors alike will be able to place bets on the Kansas City Chiefs effective December 1, 2025.

This means the Chiefs will have played three quarters of their regular season games already (with a strong likelihood of landing in the playoffs we suspect). The Mizzou Tigers will have played all of their regular season games already.

The commission will accept applications for tethered and untethered sports betting licenses right up until September 15.

“It’s our responsibility to make sure everything is done right. We would never want to not do our due diligence, not only with sports betting but with anything we do. If somebody ended up being licensed because we didn’t fully investigate, or missed something in the rulemaking, it wouldn’t be right. As disappointing as it may be for some folks that it won’t be until Dec. 1, we’re going to make sure it’s done right,” Missouri Gaming Commission Chairman Jan M. Zimmerman told SportsBettingDime.

The official timeline appears below.

May 15: Licensing application period officially opens
July 15: Licensing applications due for direct (untethered) online sports betting licenses
Aug. 13: Applicants for direct online sports betting licenses may appear before Missouri Gaming Commission
Aug. 15: Missouri Gaming Commission announces two selected direct online sports betting license applicants
Sept. 12: All other partnered retail and online sports betting license applications must be completed
Dec. 1: Deadline for the launch of Missouri sports betting

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins rejected the commission’s proposed emergency sports betting rules and regulations.

I recently ran up to $30k all from a $200 depo in the span of 2 days and all it took was 30 minutes to lose it all. My bets stayed the same, I didn’t increase any but it somehow feels like someone turned the “win switch” off for me.
