FanDuel and Gambling.com Group have officially launched operations in Missouri's newly regulated online sports betting market, joining the extensive list of gaming entities which have also expanded into the Show Me State.
"Introducing FanDuel to sports fans in Missouri is a huge moment for our business, and we look forward to bringing the passionate fans across the state the experience of America's #1 Sportsbook," FanDuel Sportsbook Managing Director Karol Corcoran said.
"In addition to our leading product and parlay experience, Missouri customers can expect exciting promotions, including our Missouri Super Boost, where fans who place a wager can win up to $50 if one point is scored during tonight's Monday Night Football game. We are also passionate about giving back to our communities, and we are proud of the work we are doing to support veterans and first responders through our partners at Guns 'N Hoses and Veterans Community Project."
FanDuel celebrated its Missouri launch with a $300,000 donation to Guns N' Hoses, a St. Louis-based nonprofit which provides financial assistance to the families of fallen or "catastrophically injured" first responders, as well as an equal contribution to the Veterans Community Project in Kansas City.
Employees of the operator will also take part in a volunteer activation with the Veterans Community Project on December 3 to help support local veterans as part of FanDuel's launch week activities.
Operators such as DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars and bet365 have also launched online sports betting in Missouri, forming an elevated level of competition for market share throughout the state.
Gambling.com Group subsidiary GDC America obtained a temporary supplier license from the Missouri Gaming Commission (MGC) to allow for integration from its OpticOdds sports data division.
"The launch of legal sports betting in Missouri, made possible by voters' approval of Amendment 2 in November 2024, underscores the growing demand for regulated online wagering and the continued expansion of the industry," Gambling.com Group CEO Charles Gillespie said.
"Missouri sports fans deserve legal and regulated sports betting experiences, and we look forward to supporting the development of a safe and enjoyable betting ecosystem."
Gambling.com Group previously launched its BetMissouri site in 2022, said to be "in anticipation" of the Show Me State's eventual online sports betting launch.
Missouri represents the 25th state or territory in which FanDuel is currently live across the US, having gained market access through a new partnership with the St. Louis City SC professional soccer team.
MGC Executive Director Mike Leara confirmed Underdog Fantasy will no longer be entering the state's new sports betting market on November 26, instead focusing expansion to where prediction markets have not yet been regulated
