He is blocked by a pop-up message noting he is not in a legal location. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Missouri is one of a dozen states where sports wagering remains illegal more than five years after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for states to adopt it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">&quot;It just seems silly that everyone else can do it and we can&rsquo;t,&rdquo; said Koenig, who has launched a social media campaign called &quot;Let MO Play&rdquo; to rally support for legal sports betting in his home state.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Other states have reaped a total of over $4 billion of taxes from more than $280 billion wagered on sports since 2018. Vermont will become the latest to accept sports bets, starting Jan. 11, But the odds for expansion to additional states appear iffy in 2024 because of political resistance and the sometimes-competing financial interests of existing gambling operators.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/international\/the-odds-for-more-sports-betting-expansion-could-fade-after-rapid-growth-to-38-states2.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">&quot;The handful of states yet to legalize are last for a reason: They all have multiple obstacles,&rdquo; said Becca Giden, policy director at Eilers &amp; Krejcik Gaming, a California-based consulting firm. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">After a &quot;whirlwind&rdquo; of expansion, the playing field for further sports betting has narrowed to a group of states where various stakeholders all &quot;want to kind of maximize what they get out of the legalization framework,&rdquo; said Chris Cylke, senior vice president of government relations at the American Gaming Association, which represents the industry. &quot;So that can create some friction.&rdquo; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/international\/the-odds-for-more-sports-betting-expansion-could-fade-after-rapid-growth-to-38-states3.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The states where sports betting remains illegal are Alabama, Alaska, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:x-large\">California and Texas, the nation&rsquo;s two most populous states, would be the biggest prizes for sports bettors. But neither appear particularly likely to adopt it in 2024. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Voters in California last year overwhelmingly defeated two rival sports betting initiatives following a record $463 million raised by supporters and opponents. The advertising barrage was fueled by divisions among online gaming companies, tribal casinos and horse tracks. Those tensions have continued, with Native American tribes objecting to a new sports betting initiative that is seeking signatures to appear on the 2024 ballot. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The proposed sale of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team to a politically active family that runs the Las Vegas Sands casino company has raised speculation of a bigger push for legal sports betting in Texas. But the state Legislature is not in regular session in 2024, and Texas has no means of placing citizen initiatives on the ballot.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Neighboring Oklahoma already has scores of casinos run by tribes. Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt announced a plan in November to allow in-person sports betting at tribal casinos and online sports wagering through platforms licensed by the state. But his plan doesn&rsquo;t appear to have support from tribes, with whom Stitt has been feuding. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The states where sports betting remains illegal are Alabama, Alaska, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8739,"menu_order":267,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4553,1414,3343,1908,4554,4555,4556,1697,4557,4558,4552],"class_list":["post-8738","america","type-america","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","tag-alaska","tag-california","tag-georgia","tag-hawaii","tag-idaho","tag-minnesota","tag-missouri","tag-oklahoma","tag-south-carolina","tag-texas-and-utah","tag-the-states-where-sports-betting-remains-illegal-are-alabama","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
