$1 million+ generated by KS sports betting

(MSC News)--In the one month that sports wagering has been legal in Kansas, it has generated a total of $1.3 million in revenue, which includes nearly $130,000 for the State of Kansas.

That’s according to a release from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly Monday, in which she called legal sports betting “a common sense solution that keeps Kansans money in Kansas and supports Kansas businesses,” adding that the “revenues will continue to grow and benefit the state over time.”

In May, Kelly signed the bipartisan legislation making it legal to wager on sports at casinos, on digital platforms, and other venues in Kansas. Sportsbooks opened on September 1.
