Here are the sports betting platforms that already have Missouri market access

Those in Missouri will finally get a chance to bet on sports after voters approved a legal digital and retail sports betting initiative on 5 November. And every major operator already has some sort of existing relationship with a casino or professional sports team in the state.

Missouri’s new law requires that sports betting go live by 1 December 2025. Given that the state has an existing casino industry, it could launch sooner. And Jan Zimmerman, chair of the Missouri Gaming Commission (MGC) says the rules promulgation process has already started.

“Our folks are writing the rules and regulations as we speak,” Zimmeran told KFVS 12 on 12 November.

Zimmerman didn’t reveal a projected launch date or when rules might be available for review. But the MGC meets at the end of each month, usually around the 25th. The agenda and date for the November meeting are not posted yet. Once the process starts, it’s likely that the commission will first approve an application and open that process…

Caesars betting kiosks to replace GambetDC’s in US capital

When the DC Council in June approved a budget that included opening the Washington, DC sports betting market to competition, there was one question mark. What would happen to the small businesses – mostly convenience stores – that have GambetDC kiosks?
That question was answered on Tuesday (10 September) when Caesars Entertainment announced that it will replace GambetDC betting kiosks at 53 small businesses in the District. The company did not share when the new kiosks would be put into place.

On Monday (9 September) Caesars got the go-ahead to replace GambetDC through an Office of Lottery and Gaming executive order.

From May 2020-July 2024, DC had a single-source digital sports betting market. The DC Council in 2019 agreed to give Intralot, its lottery operator, the sports betting contract. There was no bid process and, when Intralot rolled out GambetDC, problems with the platform were almost instantly apparent.

Among the complaints were a difficult customer interface, non-comp..

Caesars’ Big Brazil and Sportingbet apply for Brazil licences

Sportingbet and Caesars Sportsbook’s Big Brazil have submitted their licence applications in Brazil, becoming the fourth and fifth operators to do so.
Sportingbet applied for a Brazil sports betting and igaming licence on Thursday (25 July). The following day, Caesars Sportsbook’s licensee Big Brazil joined Sportingbet, Betano, Superbet and Rei do Pitaco in submitting its application.

In applying during the initial 90-day window of preference, Sportingbet and Big Brazil have ensured their applications will be prioritised by the ministry of finance’s Secretariat of Prizes and Bets (SPA).

The SPA guarantees that operators who submit their applications by the 20 August deadline will have their applications processed by 1 January 2025, the anticipated launch date of the legal market.

Licences will last for five years and will cost BRL30m (£4.6m/€5.4m/$5.9m) in fees. Those who receive a licence will be able to offer gambling via three skins. Meanwhile, operators who fail to secure a lice..

Online wagering in US capitol on hold until mayor signs budget; platforms were ready to go Monday

Two sports betting platforms were ready to begin offering their products throughout Washington, DC on Monday (15 July). But Mayor Muriel Bowser still hasn't signed the budget bill that would allow BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook to go live.

Bowser has until 25 July to sign the budget. If she does not sign or veto it by then, it will automatically go into effect.

BetMGM and Caesars sportsbooks indicated on Monday that they are waiting for the mayor’s signature, but are unsure when it will come. BetMGM cancelled a planned celebration at Nationals Park, a company representative said. As of Monday night, FanDuel, partnered with the DC Lottery, remained the only platform available to those betting in DC.

But according to the Washington Examiner, FanDuel’s platform was unavailable Tuesday (16 May). For now, Washington, DC sports bettors can only place bets in person. FanDuel said in a statement to the Washington Post that it would re-launch once the budget was approved.

On 25 June th..

State of the Union: A look at the week that was in North America

Welcome to iGB's State of the Union, a look at the biggest North American sports betting stories we've covered over the week and briefs on others we found interesting.

Bally Bet aiming for June Massachusetts launch

Saying “our commitment is strong here”, on Thursday (11 April) representatives from Bally Bet told the Massachusetts Gaming Commission that it is aiming for a late June launch in the Bay State. Bally’s had previously promised a “late Q2” launch, but hadn’t put a date on it. The company has had a temporary sports betting licence in the state since early 2023. When Bally Bet launches it will bring the total number of digital platforms available in Massachusetts to seven after Betr and WynnBet exited the state earlier this year.

“Having someone that we’ve started with the licensing process, a group come in and actually get going, is exciting to us,” interim MGC chair Jordan Maynard said during the meeting.

Massachusetts’ mobile sports betting market goes live

The six online operators approved to launch mobile sports betting offerings in Massachusetts – FanDuel, DraftKings, WynnBet, Barstool, BetMGM and Caesars – have gone live in Massachusetts.

More than six months on from when then-governor Charlie Baker signed House Bill 5164 into law, players have begun placing bets from the six online operators licensed by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) – joining the now majority of US states that have legalised the activity.

The rollout follows the launch of retail sports betting towards the end of January, that permitted any land-based casino or racetrack operator to apply for a licence.

“The debut of sports betting in Massachusetts has delivered an incredible amount of excitement and activity to our retail sportsbook at MGM Springfield,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. “We’re proud to expand our best-in-class wagering experience statewide during one of sports’ biggest months of action.”
