It's the home state of the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.  And the state of Missouri does not regulate sportsbooks.  This provides an excellent opportunity for local bookies as the demand for betting is going to be quite high, especially during the NFL season.

How to Start Your Online Mobile Sportsbook in Missouri

A nominal fee gets you a customized website for all your players, full lines management, live in-play betting, hundreds of prop offerings daily and full reporting.  This is just some of the features available from a pay per head software platform and service.  AcePerHead is currently running a FREE WEEK every month FOR LIFE promo.

Be carreful to avoid software providers that only offer the software and nothing more.  Also be careful of those companies that charge excessively for the right to use their betting software.

Is Sports Betting Regulated in Missouri?

No.  The state has not passed legislation that allows for regulated sports betting apps.  This means no DraftKings and no FanDuel, among others.  The local bookie only competes with the established offshore books.

Safeguards

Never accept customers you have not fully screened beforehand.  You should either be familiar with your customers or they should contain references.  A pay per head has eliminated a number of elements of the bookmaking business once deemed to be illegal such as the operation of a wire room and the settlement of payments/collections via cash.  For example, bets are placed over a secure website with servers outside the United States.  Bets by phone are strongly discouraged

Pay per heads like AcePerHead also offer money transactions via Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that take place via the website.

Take That Extra Step:

  • Do not take bets over the phone.
  • Avoid taking on customers who reside outside your state.
  • Know your customers and check referrals.
  • Do not engage with individuals involved in any type of criminal activities.
  • Use cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin Tumblers provided by AcePerHead, for secure anonymous transactions.
  • Keep your customers information private.
  • Always file your taxes.

Today's pay per head businesses are regular sponsors on your favorite search engines so they enjoy maximum exposure, but not all pay per head businesses are the same.  AcePerHead is one of the most established in the industry.

Avoid those services that only offer the software for super cheap and nothing else.

Missouri Team Report (Updated April 1, 2023)

St. Louis Cardinals - The Cards will pay out $2000 for every $100 bet should they win the World Series.

Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina are no longer around but plenty of young talent remains.  The club added very little in the offseason but plays in a weak division with only the Brewers likely to threat.

The team won the NL Central last season with a 93-69 record in 2022.

Kansas City Chiefs - Once again, the Chiefs are favored to win yet another Super Bowl in 2024.

The Chiefs are widely expected to bring back most or their receiving corps from last year.
