Kansas bettors will be able to place legal wagers on sporting events as early as this summer.
Legal sports gambling is officially coming to Kansas.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly on Thursday signed a sports wagering bill into law, setting the stage for fans to place bets on teams like the Chiefs, Royals and Jayhawks as soon as this summer.
It will also bring in some money to the state government. The Kansas Lottery estimates taxes on legal sports betting would bring in up to $10 million a year by 2025.
“Legalizing sports betting will bring more revenue to our state and grow our economy,” Kelly said in a news release. “This is another mechanism that casinos, restaurants and other entertainment venues can now utilize to attract Kansans to their establishments.”
The law comes as dozens of other states had previously made betting on sports legal ever since the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 struck down a federal law banning sports gambling in most states.

I am excited about college football because I am going to make a ton of money. I will start with $2,000 and my minimum goal is to turn it into $20,000. I have a system based on logic, thereby, I don't bet on the basis of luck. My approach is simple. When a dominant team with a huge disparity of talent plays an average team, I will bet on the dominant team winning. I will illuminate my progress as the season unfolds.
