Sports Betting in Missouri | On the Ballot

In the wake of Kansas legalizing sports betting, Missouri voters will decide whether or not to allow the same on the other side of the state line. Amendment 2 proposes allowing people 21 years old and older to bet on sports in Missouri. If it passes, the Missouri Gaming Commission would regulate sports betting statewide. The state would establish a 10% tax on revenues from sports gambling and allocate any leftover funds to education.
