Sports Betting Opposition

Missouri has a new lobby group opposing sports betting. Meet Missourians Against the Deceptive Online Gambling Amendment. 

This November Missouri will vote on legalized sports betting. The amendment would provide for sports betting licenses for existing Missouri casino operators; pro sports teams like the Cardinals, Blues, Chiefs, and Royals; and sports wagering operators like DraftKings and FanDuel. There will be a $500,000 license application and 5 year renewal fees plus a 10% tax on the licensees adjusted gross gaming revenues. Annual revenue is estimated at $29 million.
