The Kansas Lottery announced Friday that six mobile sports betting operators have been approved to launch on Sept. 1, and in-person sportsbooks will be available at two locations on that date — this coming Thursday — as well.
The “soft launch,” will begin at noon, with the official launch date set for Sept. 8, the day of this season’s first NFL game. The college football season begins with a limited number of games this weekend, but the first full slate of games is next weekend.
The approved operators are Barstool, FanDuel, DraftKings, Bet MGM, Caesars and PointsBet.
Here’s the breakdown by casino:
- Hollywood Casino in Kansas City, Kan., will have in-person sportsbook and mobile betting through Barstool Sports.
- Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane will have in-person sportsbook and mobile betting through FanDuel.
- In-person betting at Boot Hill Casino and Resort in Dodge City will be announced a later date. Mobile betting will be available through DraftKings.
- Kansas Casino in Pittsburg also will announce in-person wagering at a later date but will offer mobile betting through BetMGM, Caesars and PointsBet.
In Kansas, you don’t have to be in a casino to download any of the betting apps, but to make a wager you have to do so within the state’s borders.
