How Kansas casino licensing works


Kansas sports betting law (SB 84, signed May 2022) requires every online sportsbook to operate under a "skin" attached to one of the four state-owned casinos. Each casino can license up to three online operators, meaning Kansas can have up to 12 active online sportsbooks. Currently 7 are live.

The current casino-to-operator map:

  • Boot Hill Casino (Dodge City) → DraftKings + Fanatics
  • Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway → theScore Bet
  • Kansas Star Casino (Mulvane) → FanDuel
  • Kansas Crossing Casino (Pittsburg) → BetMGM + Caesars
  • No casino partner → bet365 (launched Aug 2025 under amended KRGC rules)

Retail vs online wagering


Retail sports betting represents less than 2% of total Kansas handle — Kansas is overwhelmingly a mobile-first betting market. Still, retail sportsbooks have advantages: in-person customer support, free drinks for high-rollers, large-screen viewing parties, and the ability to cash a winning ticket immediately rather than wait for an online withdrawal to settle.

Kansas tribal casinos


Outside the four state-owned commercial casinos, Kansas hosts several tribal casinos operated under separate compacts: Prairie Band Casino & Resort (Mayetta), Sac and Fox Casino (Powhattan), Casino White Cloud (White Cloud), Golden Eagle Casino (Horton), and 7th Street Casino (Kansas City KS). The Sac and Fox Nation\'s compact amendment was approved by the BIA in November 2025, authorizing Class III sports wagering — the first step toward potential tribal online sportsbooks in Kansas.
