Legal online sports betting is expected to launch in Missouri in the fall of 2025 and as an official partner of the Kansas City Chiefs, we are expecting BetMGM Missouri to be a big part of that launch.

The King of Sportsbooks is available in most legal gambling states right now, and it’s very likely going to be one of the Missouri sports betting apps you have to choose from.

As we wait for an official announcement, here’s a look at what Missourians can expect from the BetMGM Sportsbook.

BetMGM Missouri Bonus Code

Show-Me State bettors can expect a generous BetMGM Missouri Bonus Code to welcome them upon launch.

What exactly that will be is still unknown but past state launches, as well as BetMGM’s long history of offering signup bonuses, give us a good idea.

Expected BetMGM Missouri Welcome Offer

The national BetMGM Bonus Code has been pretty consistent: Up to $1,500 Paid Back in Bonus Bets If Your First Bet Loses.

We expect the BetMGM Missouri promo code will settle into that eventually, but don’t be surprised if the sportsbook pulls out a special welcome offer for Missouri bettors on Day 1. We have seen BetMGM give out Bet & Get offers for special occasions.

In those situations, new customers were able to bet a certain amount (typically $10 for BetMGM) and get a set amount of bonus bets ($200, typically) regardless of how that first bet settled.

Personally, I find the Bet & Get offers to be my favorite sportsbook promos, as they require very little in terms of initial investment from the bettor to receive a plentiful bonus.

How to Claim BetMGM Missouri Bonus & Register New Account

When BetMGM Missouri goes live, registering as a new user and claiming your welcome bonus will be simple. Just follow these steps:

  • Click through our BetMGM Missouri bonus code link (when available).
  • Choose your state.
  • Create your new account using your name, phone number, email address, street address, and social security number.
  • Connect your banking option of choice to your account.
  • Enter our exclusive BetMGM bonus code and make your first deposit.
  • Make your first real-money wager on an available BetMGM market.

The type of bonus offer BetMGM will be offering will determine how much you’ll need to put up with that first wager. If it’s a Bet & Get, you’ll just need to bet whatever that number is.

If the bonus is a First Bet offer, the amount you wager determines the potential bonus. If your first bet loses, BetMGM will credit your account with bonus bets in the amount of the original wager up to a set dollar amount.

Downloading the BetMGM MO App

It will be easy to download the BetMGM Sportsbook app when it becomes available. You can click through one of our BetMGM links on your mobile device to be taken to either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

If you’ve created an account through your desktop computer, you can simply visit the app store on your iPhone or Android, search “BetMGM,” and get the mobile app.

BetMGM is not yet legal in Missouri, but we anticipate that it will be one of the first online sportsbooks available when sports wagering launches in Missouri.

BetMGM is fully available in 18 states, as well as Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Legal BetMGM states include: Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Mississippi also have the BetMGM app, but you must be on the premises of an in-person casino in order to use it.

When Will Sports Betting Launch in Missouri?

No official launch date has been attached to legal sports betting in Missouri, but Fall 2025 feels like the target.

We had expected it to go live prior to football season in early September, and those who have spoken with SBD Regulatory Expert Robert Linnehan, had expressed that an early summer Missouri launch was possible. A rules rejection in late February, however, looks to have pushed the Missouri sports betting launch into the fall.

What we do know is that there could be up to 21 online sportsbook licenses, so we anticipate BetMGM will be joined by DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, and more. There is also the possibility for up to 19 retail sportsbooks.

BetMGM Missouri App Review

As one of the top-rated online betting apps in the US, BetMGM has plenty of betting options to offer bettors at all levels. Its clean design and easy-to-navigate markets and menus make it possible for you to focus simply on your wagers, whether you’re placing a futures bet or live betting.

You can read more about it in our BetMGM app review. Here’s a quick look, though, at what Missourians can expect from it.

Types of Bets Available at BetMGM Missouri

So, what types of sports betting markets can you expect to see at BetMGM Missouri?

  • Moneyline: The moneyline bet is the simplest of all, as you’re simply picking the outcome of a game or match straight up. Will the Kansas City Chiefs win? If you think so, pick them on the moneyline. The odds associated with the moneyline will determine your payout. The favorite will have a minus (ex. -120, meaning you’ll need to bet $120 to win $100), while the underdog typically has a plus (ex. +120, meaning a $100 bet will win you $120).
  • Spread betting: This is the bet most commonly referenced when someone asks for the game “line.” The Chiefs were a 1.5-point favorite against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, so the spread was 1.5. The favorite is listed as minus the number, while the underdog is plus the number. In order for the favorite to win, they need to cover the spread, or win by more than the number listed.
  • Total (Over/Under): If the Kansas City Royals are playing the Minnesota Twins and the total is listed at 8.5, a bet on the Over wins if they combine to score nine or more runs, while the Under wins if they combine for eight or less.
  • Parlays: A parlay is a combination of more than one bet, which all have to win in order for your wager to payout. You can parlay the results of multiple games or you can combine multiple bets from a single game to make a same-game parlay (SGP). Parlays make for a bigger payday, but are much harder to win.
  • Props: A prop is a bet on a specific action or event happening within a game. For example, you can bet on Xavier Worthy’s receiving yards, or how many field goals Harrison Butker will make.
  • Futures: All bets are on something happening in the future, technically, but a futures bet is made on an outcome bigger than a single game. You can place a futures bet on who will win the next Super Bowl, March Madness, or the College Football Playoff. Futures are also available for player awards.

Ongoing BetMGM Missouri Promotions and Key App Features

BetMGM makes sure to treat its customers well with consistent promotions and app features that keep you coming back.

Here’s a look at some of those extras that make BetMGM one of our favorite sportsbooks.

  • BetMGM Rewards: Perhaps the best loyalty program on the market, BetMGM Rewards, and MGM Rewards are something every user is enrolled in when they register. Use points for everything from bonus bets to MGM Resorts experiences.
  • Odds Boosts and No Sweat Bet tokens: BetMGM will feed you No Sweat Bet tokens and odds boost tokens daily, and the more you bet the bigger they get.
  • BetMGM parlay builder: Any game that includes multiple markets at BetMGM Missouri will give you the option to “Build Parlay” which then takes you into its SGP builder. It’s a straightforward screen that’s easy to understand and navigate, although we would like more options when it came to alternate lines.
  • Same Game Parlay+: BetMGM is one of several sportsbooks that allows you to now combine multiple SGPs for longer odds and bigger potential payouts.

Missouri Teams You Can Bet On at BetMGM

Sports bettors in Missouri will be able to bet on all their favorite teams teams at BetMGM.

As we mentioned previously, BetMGM is already an official partner of the Chiefs, and their odds are certain to be featured prominently for Missourians.

Here are the Missouri professional sports teams you can expect to be able to bet on at BetMGM Missouri:

  • Kansas City Chiefs (NFL)
  • Kansas City Royals (MLB)
  • St. Louis Cardinals (MLB)
  • St. Louis Blues (NHL)

  • St. Louis SC (MLS)
  • Kansas City Current (NWSL)

The University of Missouri football and basketball teams will also be available to bet on during college football season and March Madness.

And while it’s not listed here because of the lack of a NBA team, there will be plenty of NBA betting markets to choose from.

BetMGM Missouri Banking Methods

BetMGM is a trusted Venmo betting site, PayPal betting site, Apple Pay betting site, and Visa betting site, among others. The Missouri Gaming Commission will ultimately decide which banking options are available for Missouri bettors, but we imagine it will look a lot like BetMGM does in other states.
