A petition in Missouri to bring sports betting to the state has just crossed 300,000 signatures, with the campaign gathering extensive support by the day across the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sports betting within Missouri is currently restricted, as the state remains one of just 12 US states to restrict wagering on sports as of early 2024.<\/p>\n Winning for Missouri Education has already secured over 325,000 signatures in support of the petition that hopes to authorise Missouri sports betting as soon as possible.<\/p>\n \u201cThe tremendous support we\u2019ve seen throughout the state is a testament to Missourians\u2019 readiness to bring sports betting revenue home and support our local schools, students, and teachers in the process,\u201d said Winning for Missouri Education spokesperson Jack Cardetti.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the campaign approaches our goal of putting this on the November ballot, Missouri is a step closer to allowing Missouri adults to bet on sports while generating tens of millions in annual funding for our classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n According to votes conducted by both Emerson College and Saint Louis university, over 60% of the state population support the legalisation of Missouri Sports Betting and the vast support statewide could be enough to pass a bill as soon as this year.<\/p>\n It is difficult to put a time frame on any of these votes however in February earlier this year House Bill 2835 was introduced in Missouri, which involves the authorization of sports gambling in Missouri.<\/p>\n The bill would also legalize the use of ‘interactive digital games’, meaning Missouri would allow the use of slot machines and other electronic games.<\/p>\n Licensed sports betting operators would have to pay an initial application fee of $150,000 under the new bill with licenses valid for just one year before a four-year renewal period which is set to cost around $10,000.<\/p>\n House Bill 2835 has already been referred to the Special Committee on Innovation and Technology.<\/p>\nMissouri Sports Betting<\/h3>\n
