The state of Missouri was among the first to aggressively go after online gambling operators during the late 1990’s and that continued into the mid to late-2000’s with the St. Louis Justice Department prosecuting one of the biggest offshore sports wagering sites.  The state does not expressly prohibit Internet gambling, however.
