Missouri Retail Sports Betting Guide: MO Retail Sportsbooks February 2025

Fact Checked by Blake Weishaar

When sports betting in Missouri becomes legal, you'll be able to enjoy mobile, online and retail sports betting. While the convenience of mobile and online sports betting may be more attractive to some bettors, you can't beat the experience of betting in person. 

Here, I'll go over what to expect when Missouri retail sports betting in goes live. 

What is Retail Sports Betting?

Retail sports betting, or in-person betting, is exactly what it sounds like: placing wagers at a physical location rather than betting with Missouri betting apps or online sportsbooks. 

Sports betting law passed in 2024 will bring MO retail sportsbooks to life sometime in 2025, though the exact timeline is still unknown. The legislation allowing legal retail sports betting, online and mobile sportsbooks means that you can bet in person at any of the state's 13 casinos or at any of the retail sportsbooks near Missouri's professional sports stadiums once legal wagering goes live. 

The main reason sports bettors prefer retail sportsbooks is the atmosphere. You're placing wagers at a facility that includes plenty of TVs and video walls to watch the game, bars, restaurants, comfortable seating and - in the case of MO retail sportsbooks - the ability to play casino games. 

Expected Retail Sports Betting Locations in Missouri

While there are no legal sports betting locations in the Show-Me State just yet, sports betting bill Amendment 2 allows for retail sportsbooks at the state's casinos and in special districts near each of the state's six professional sports stadiums. 

Here's where we expect legal MO retail sportsbooks to be located at casinos.

Why Choose a Retail Sportsbook?

Choosing a retail sportsbook over a mobile betting app depends on what kind of experience you're looking for. If you're more interested in the convenience of betting anytime, anywhere, maybe using an app or online sportsbook is more your style. 

However, if you're more of a social person like myself, and are looking for an immersive betting experience surrounded by bettors and fans cheering for a specific player or outcome, retail betting is for you. Remember that there's plenty of TV screens and a video wall displaying several sporting events at one time, so you can see all of the games that you bet on in one setting.

Should I Download a Sports Betting App Before Visiting a Retail Sportsbook?

My opinion is yes, you should download a betting app before visiting a retail sportsbook. That way you're prepared to confidently curate and place bets at a retail sportsbook. Sometimes betting for the first time can be overwhelming, but if you've bet online before, you'll know what to look for and how to bet.

You'll also appreciate the entertainment value of a retail sports betting location more, in my opinion. 

The same philosophy applies to downloading an online casino app. If online casinos in Missouri every become legal, you can test out casino games before heading to a casino and playing blackjack or roulette. 

Should I Register for a Sports Betting Account Prior to Going to a Retail Sportsbook?

Yes, it's recommended that you should register for a sports betting account prior to visiting a retail sportsbook, especially if that retail sportsbook is partnered with a mobile app. If you register with the same brand that operates the retail sportsbook that you intend to visit, you can earn toward lucrative rewards while betting with that sportsbook, such as the loyalty program offered by BetMGM Missouri

Are Promotions Available at Missouri Retail Sportsbooks?

It remains to be seen whether or not you can find Missouri sportsbook promos at retail locations in the state. In some cases, most retail sportsbooks will offer special promotions that could offer discounts on food or drink or free play at the casino if you place a bet in person.

Should I Claim an Online Betting Promo Before Visiting a Retail Sportsbook?

Yes, it's highly recommended that you claim an online betting promo prior to visiting a retail sportsbook

Promotions offered by online sportsbooks are much more generous and can grant thousands in bonus bets or a range of odds boosts. It all depends on what you find on your chosen app or site. Just remember that you likely won't find the same promos at retail sports betting locations in MO that you would on an online sportsbook like, say Caesars Sportsbook Missouri

Whether you're looking to bet on the Chiefs Super Bowl odds, Royals run line or placing a parlay, it's important to know which bets you CAN make at a Missouri retail sportsbook. Fortunately, you can find the same wager types as online sportsbooks or mobile betting apps.
