Missouri sports betting background

The effective Missouri sports betting wagering campaign comes in spite of millions in funding opposing the measure from one of the state's biggest gambling stakeholders.

Caesars invested countless dollars to defeat the procedure. In the majority of other states that connect online sports betting with a state's brick-and-mortar casinos, an operator is given a minimum of one license per managed residential or commercial property.

In that situation in Missouri, Caesars would be paid for at least 3 potential licenses, one for each casino it handles. Instead, Caesars just has one. In states with the license-per-property design, companies can either open extra in-house books or, more frequently, subcontract the license to a competitor that pays an accompanying cost in exchange.

FanDuel and DraftKings, which have roughly two-thirds of U.S. nationwide sports betting wagering deal with market share, might potentially have a leg up on their competitors by earning the set of untethered licenses. It remains to be seen which two books will earn these slots, but the language around the ballot measure would seem to favor the two national market leaders.

Polling earlier in the year showed the "yes" vote with a minor lead. Support efforts were reinforced by 10s of millions invested by DraftKings and FanDuel.

A series of television and radio advertisements focused on the revenue legal sportsbooks would generate for Missouri public education. Opponents, moneyed largely by Caesars, argued the fans' advertisements were deceptive and the tens of millions of forecasted dollars raised would have a minimal impact in a state that already spends billions on education annually.
