Kansas sports betting has found its groove, and the numbers highlight how fast the market has grown.
What began as a small launch in 2022 has quickly became a full-scale betting scene, with online sportsbooks leading the way. People across Kansas have taken to mobile betting, and operators have answered with valuable odds, tons of betting options, and frequent promotions.
According to multiple sources, Kansas sportsbooks have accepted $2.85 billion in bets for 2025, a 12% increase from the previous year. This growth shows both the excitement of local bettors and the strong performance of the online market, which leads the state’s betting totals every month.
Online betting has changed how people in Kansas follow sports, from NFL Sundays to college basketball rivalries. State revenue reports make it clear that mobile wagering is now a key part of the local sports scene.
Online Sportsbook Revenue Since Launch
When Kansas legalized sports betting in September 2022, experts predicted online operators would lead the way, and they were right. Mobile sportsbooks soon became the top choice for most bettors, offering convenience, plentiful odds, and the chance to bet from anywhere in the state.
Since the launch, online operators have made up most of the state’s betting activity. Monthly reports show that mobile betting makes up more than 90% of all bets. This trend continued through 2025, reaching a yearly total of $2.85 billion, setting a new record for Kansas.
Kansas’ online sportsbooks have also benefited from a steady stream of major sports events. NFL and college football seasons remain the biggest drivers, but March Madness, MLB playoffs, and NBA action also contribute to monthly handle spikes. Even during slower sports months, mobile operators maintain a reliable baseline thanks to year‑round betting markets like soccer, golf, and combat sports.
Revenue growth has followed suit. While hold percentages fluctuate, online sportsbooks have consistently delivered strong returns for operators and steady tax revenue for the state. Kansas’ relatively low tax rate keeps margins tight, but the sheer volume of online wagers has helped offset that limitation.
Mobile Sports Betting Offers Multiple Ways To Wager
Online sports betting is now a regular part of Kansas’s sports culture. Bettors can pick from both domestic and international operators, each with its own bonuses, odds boosts, and features. Live betting has become especially popular, allowing fans to place bets as games unfold.
Easy access to mobile betting has also led Kansans to try more types of bets. Moneylines and spreads are still common, but player props, same-game parlays, and futures now make up a big part of the action. Kansas bettors also show strong interest in local and regional sports. NFL games with the Kansas City Chiefs always get lots of bets, and college sports, especially basketball, are still a big part of online betting.
Looking ahead to 2026, Kansas seems ready for more growth. The state’s online sportsbooks have built a loyal group of users, and the steady rise in betting totals shows that mobile wagering will likely stay at the heart of the industry for years.
