Kansas sports betting licence renewals put on hold
Kansas lawmakers have approved an amendment in the state budget bill that prevents sports betting licence extensions from being considered until next year. The aim is to give time for legislators to consider changes to the current regulatory model.
The licences of the state’s current six sportsbooks, run by BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, Fanatics, FanDuel and ESPN BET, don’t expire until August 31, 2027. That means that there would still be time for lawmakers to consider legislative changes in next year’s session and for licences to be renewed in 2026 or early 2027.
