FanDuel to launch in Missouri via market access agreement with St. Louis CITY SC
FanDuel has proudly announced its partnership with St. Louis CITY SC, a premier professional soccer team in St. Louis. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for FanDuel, as it opens the door to the Missouri market, right as the state prepares to launch its legal mobile sports betting. With the addition of Missouri, FanDuel is poised to expand its influence into its 25th state or territory in the U.S. Already, sports fans in major markets like New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington D.C., and Tennessee are enjoying FanDuel's services. Mike Raffensperger, President of Sports at FanDuel, expressed his enthusiasm over this new venture, noting the fervor of Missouri's sports enthusiasts.

Missouri is expected to launch its betting market in December
On November 5, 2024, Missouri voters decisively moved to legalize sports betting through Amendment 2, ushering in a new era of gaming in the state. However, the thrill of legally placing a bet is on the horizon but hasn't kicked off yet. The eagerly anticipated launch of mobile sports wagering in Missouri is slated for December 1, 2025. FanDuel is gearing up to make a splash in this new market, but they're not alone. DraftKings, another titan of the betting world, is also poised to launch their services on the same day, signaling a competitive start to the state's legal betting scene. Other major players, including ESPN Bet, are keenly eyeing Missouri as part of their expansion plans across the United States. This is set to be an exciting chapter for Missouri's sports enthusiasts, promising a vibrant new landscape for sports betting.
