The Isle of Capri Casino chain also has a property in Kansas City. We are looking forward to seeing online gambling laws and landscape in Kansas in 2020.

Sportsbooks

While there are no sportsbooks operating in Kansas currently, there is progress being made on the issue. A soft sports betting bill has been making the rounds around the statehouse for some time now, even before the PASPA was overturned. What comes of it is anyone’s guess but it does indicate sportsbooks, online or on-land, may be coming to Kansas by 2020.

Casinos

Kansas has been moving forward with all forms of legal gambling in the last decade. The state now has 9 casinos up and running. These include riverboats, Tribal Casinos, and four new privately owned establishments. There’s even a casino attached to the Kansas Speedway now. Online casinos remain far off in the future as there is no pending legislation to regulate the market.

Online Poker

Online poker has been grouped in with online casinos in Kansas and, as for now, there is not much moving forward with legislation or otherwise. Poker is legal in the state in casinos and their poker rooms. Any online poker played in Kansas will be of the off-shore variety.

Lotteries

The lottery in Kansas is a very popular product with all the major brands available for drawings and scratch offs. The state lottery also has a great website with a whole set of insta-games able to be accessed there.

Fantasy Sports

Wagering on fantasy sports in Kansas, much like many other states, got off on the wrong foot. No one was really sure what to make of it all and the question of whether or not it was actual gambling was the main sticking point. However, as of 2015, wagering on fantasy sports on DFS is fully legal in the state and now shows no signs of turning back.

Horse Racing

Unfortunately for Kansas, there horse racing industry was shuttered several years ago as a lack of interest and inability to expand to racinos hurt the bottom line. Wagering on horse races still exists in Kansas but it is only online. Sites such as TwinSpires and BetAmerica are available in the state and accept wagers on any track from around the world.
