The Missouri Gaming Commission has reported the state’s total sports betting activity for August 2026, as mobile and commercial operators combined to generate $16.7m of revenue, equating to a decrease of 23.2% month-over-month.
Missouri’s regulated sports betting market officially launched in December 2025, welcoming operators such as FanDuel, DraftKings, Fanatics, Caesars Entertainment, BetMGM and bet365.
The state’s mobile sports betting operations accounted for nearly $16.3m of the total revenue reported for August and fell 23.4%, while retail wagering produced $473,483 and decreased 19% from July 2026.
DraftKings and FanDuel led all operators with $6.8m and $5.4m of online revenue, respectively, but decreased 39.4% and 4%. The two sports betting goliaths were followed by Fanatics and bet365, which reported respective August totals of $1.1m, representing falls of 10.3% and 31.6%.
Missouri’s total sports betting handle for August also decreased month-over-month, falling 15.9% to $207.5m. Online betting drove $204.3m of the total and decreased 16.1%, while retail handle reached $3.2m but fell 0.6%.
Missouri Sports Betting Revenue History
How has the state performed since launching sports betting in December?
The state’s commercial operators failed to reach $100,000 of individual sports betting revenue, but were led by Hollywood Casino which generated $99,494 for an increase of 107.5% from July.
On September 18, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway issued cease-and-desist orders to six prediction market operators offering sports event contracts in the state, including Polymarket, Kalshi, Crypto.com, Novig, Underdog and Robinhood.
“Missourians voted for a safe, well‑regulated sports wagering market that supports public education and addresses problem gambling. Companies cannot repackage sports bets as ‘event contracts’ to avoid Missouri law. We will enforce the rules voters approved and protect consumers,” Hanaway said.
“Any company that wants to offer sports wagering in Missouri must be licensed by the Missouri Gaming Commission, pay the required taxes and fees and ensure no one under 21 can place a bet.”
According to Hanaway, if the prediction market operators fail to comply with the cease-and-desist order, the State of Missouri will be forced to file enforcement action.
