As of my last update in early 2023, sports betting in Kansas was indeed legal. In May 2022, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly signed a sports betting bill into law, which allowed for both retail and mobile sports betting in the state. The law permits sports betting at the state’s casinos and through online platforms.
However, the specific regulations and the actual start of operations for sports betting can vary, and it’s important to check the latest information from official sources or legal counsel to ensure that you are in compliance with the current laws and regulations in Kansas.
Sports betting operators in Kansas are required to partner with the state’s tribal casinos or racetracks, and they must obtain a license from the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission. Bettors must be at least 21 years old to participate in sports betting.
