Missouri Sports Betting Launch: Live, Real-Time Updates, News and Offers

Before Missouri sports bettors start stringing together 12-leg same-game parlays and whatnot, they’re going to have to check some boxes first.

First things first: you have to be 21. That’s the legal minimum age for sports wagering in Missouri.

Secondly, signing up for an online sportsbook account means you will need to provide some information about yourself, such as your Social Security number. So have some ID handy, because sportsbook operators need to verify that you are who you say you are.

You're also going to need to fund your account. This means using a credit or debit card or online money transfer. And shop around! Missouri’s sportsbook operators are offering a variety of sign-up bonuses, so see which ones work best for you.

The bet365 Missouri bonus code "CVSBONUS" unlocks an impressive welcome offer for new users in the Show-Me State. After registering and making a minimum $10 deposit, bettors must place a $10 qualifying wager to receive $365 in bonus bets, regardless of whether their initial bet wins or loses. The qualifying bet must include at least one selection with odds of -500 or greater, making it accessible for most sports markets, including the upcoming St. Louis Blues game against Anaheim or the Missouri Tigers matchup with Notre Dame.

Key terms and conditions include:

• Minimum $10 deposit and qualifying bet required
• Initial wager must contain odds of -500 or greater
• Bonus bets expire seven days after being issued
• Offer must be claimed within 30 days of registration
• Qualifying bets must settle within seven days of claiming

For example, if you bet $10 on the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against Houston and they win, you receive your original winnings plus $365 in bonus bets. If the Chiefs fail to cover, you still receive the full $365 in bonus bets to use on future wagers. These bonus bets can be applied to any sports market available on the platform, from NFL games to college basketball and NHL action.

How to Claim Your bet365 Missouri Welcome Offer

Claiming your bet365 bonus requires following a simple four-step process to ensure you receive the full $365 in bonus bets. New Missouri residents can take advantage of this offer immediately now that legal sports betting is live in the state.

1. Register for a new bet365 account using the bonus code "CVSBONUS" during the sign-up process
2. Make a minimum qualifying deposit of $10 using your preferred payment method
3. Place your first $10 wager on any sports market with odds of -500 or greater
4. Receive $365 in bonus bets within seven days, regardless of your initial bet outcome

The bonus bets arrive in your account after your qualifying wager settles, providing additional betting opportunities on games like the upcoming Missouri Tigers vs. Notre Dame clash or Sunday Night Football featuring the Chiefs. Remember that bonus bets expire seven days after being issued, so plan your wagering strategy accordingly. For more detailed information about this promotion, read our comprehensive bet365 review.

Yes, Missourians are now free to sign up with state-authorized sportsbooks and begin wagering. But… on what?

The Missouri sports betting rules allow for a wide variety of wagering markets. The only things off-limits under Missouri law will be betting on youth or high school events, and college player props for games involving Show-Me State schools.

Unfortunately, the timing of Missouri's sports betting launch (which was pushed to the last possible moment by the Secretary of State's office), means bettors missed the bulk of another weekly football slate.

There is a Monday Night Football matchup this evening featuring the New York Giants and New England Patriots, but Missouri bettors would have probably enjoyed a wager or two on the Kansas City-Dallas game on Thanksgiving. The final regular season game for Mizzou football was on Saturday as well.

Nevertheless! There is a bunch of NBA basketball tonight, and a home game for the NHL's St. Louis Blues. So it's not all bad. It just could have been... better.

Good morning! Missouri officially launched legalized sports betting today, the 39th state in the U.S. to do so. Today’s launch comes more than a year after Missouri voters approved a ballot measure authorizing in-person and online sports betting, and eight mobile operators are poised to go live and accept action. They are:

1. DraftKings
2. FanDuel
3. BetMGM
4. Caesars
5. bet365
6. Fanatics
7. Circa
8. theScore Bet

Underdog was supposed to be in that bunch, but decided to abandon a Missouri sports betting license and instead stick to offering DFS and prediction markets in the Show-Me State. It could be a busy day, so we'll provide regular updates here on how regulated sports betting is rolling out in Missouri.
