JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Sports fans can place a wager in any of Missouri’s neighboring states, but not within the borders of the Show Me State. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say Missouri is playing a losing hand after not legalizing sports betting.
It’s a big question many Missourians want to know: when will I legally be allowed to place a wager on college or professional sports teams? Both Senate and House leadership said it’s a priority, but what does the state’s top leader say about it?
“You just can’t call a special session because something doesn’t get passed every year in the General Assembly,” Gov. Mike Parson said last month.
Missourians, like Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo (D-Independence), want to know when sports betting will be legally allowed in the state.
