Kansas is expecting to take action soon when it comes to legalize Online Sports betting & Online Casino
Kansas has taken a somewhat unique route when it comes to legalizing sports betting with the House and Senate drawing up their own bills.
In short - the senate bill gives exclusivity to the four-state casinos and the house bill allows the Kansas Lottery to operate sports betting through an interactive platform.
Whichever bill is agreed upon, it looks like we will have sports betting up and running in Kansas by 2021.

Kansas should welcome sports betting in 2021. Here are your most common questions regarding sports betting in the Sunflower State.
No, sports betting is not currently legal in Kansas. Two bills are currently being considered - one in the Senate and one in the House - which would see sports betting legalized in the state of Kansas.
Not yet. There are two bills currently being considered by the state. One would see the four state casinos operate sports betting whereas the other would see the lottery operate sports betting.
We expect an agreement to be reached between the House and the Senate by early 2021.
You cannot legally bet on sports in Kansas. This should change in 2021 once there is an agreement between the House and Senate regarding who will operate mobile betting.
Kansans can travel to neighbouring Colorada to place a bet online. Soon they will able to travel to Missouri to place a bet.
It is very likely that Kansas will legalize sports betting; the question though is when.
Colorado was the first state to put pressure on Kansas to legalize sports betting after the Centennial State went online in 2020. States loathe seeing potential revenue flow into other states, that is why you can see groups of states come online at roughly the same time.
This point is especially true when you have a large city bordering a state that has legalized sports betting. When this is the case punters can simply cross the state line and use their mobile to place a wager. You can see this in New Jersey, where roughly a third of all customers are New Yorkers who make the short trip to NJ. Now, that Missouri is about to come online, Kansas is really taking notice since half of Kansas City is in Show-me state.
So eager are they that both the Senate and the House have draw up a bill. The problem is the bills conflict with each other.
The Houses Bill favours the Lottery, handing them the right to operate mobile sports betting. This proposal is fiercely opposed by the four state casinos which prefer the Senate's bill which hands them exclusivity.
We expect that Missouri's progress will act as a catalyst in this process and an agreement should be struck during next year's legislative session.
