Missouri sports betting campaign gains momentum in push for ballot initiative

Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at 12:00 AM

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A campaign launched in hopes of legalizing sports betting in Missouri has collected more than half of the signatures needed to place an initiative on ballots.

Winning For Missouri Education, a coalition representing Missouri’s six professional sports teams, announced Tuesday that campaign leaders have collected more than 100,000 initiative petition signatures.

To place the issue on this November’s ballot, the campaign needs to collect around 180,000 signatures and turn them in to the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office by May 5.

Campaign leaders are hopeful to surpass 300,000 signatures before the due date and say they’re ahead of schedule in collecting the number of signatures desired.
