Missouri has joined the sports betting bandwagon, and it's making waves. Since December 1, several big-name apps like DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM have set up shop, offering tempting bonuses to new users. These apps are not just about betting on local teams like the Chiefs, Tigers, or Blues. They also open doors to wagering on sports nationwide.
DraftKings stands out with its user-friendly design and quick payouts. It's one of the few with an untethered license, meaning it can operate independently. New users get $300 in bonus bets after their first $5 wager. FanDuel, the market leader, offers a smooth betting experience and $300 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins.
Bet365, a veteran in the UK, is new to the U. S. scene but quickly gaining traction. It offers a generous sign-up bonus and daily promotions. BetMGM, backed by a major hospitality company, provides rewards points that can be redeemed for free bets or even hotel stays. Fanatics Sportsbook, known for sports merchandise, gives users FanCash for every bet, which can be used for more bets or gear. Caesars Sportsbook offers competitive odds and a unique rewards program that extends to their resorts.
But it's not all fun and games. Sports betting can be risky. Missouri has resources for those who need help, like the Problem Gambling Helpline. It's important to gamble responsibly and remember that bonuses come with terms and conditions.
The Chiefs, after a surprising losing season, won't be in the Super Bowl. The Tigers are gearing up for the Gator Bowl, and the Blues are struggling but have time to turn things around. These teams offer plenty of betting opportunities, but it's crucial to stay informed and bet wisely.
