2021 Sports Betting Hopes in Kansas

The 2021 Kansas legislature enters the year with another chance to pass sports wagering bill. The issue was debated last year before the legislative session was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Legalized sports betting is supported by Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and by key Republican lawmakers. The neighboring state of Missouri has three sports wagering bills ready to be introduced in its early legislative session, and Kansas would lose potential revenues if it does not act at the same time.

The year 2021 is positioned to be the year that Kansas approves sports betting.
