UPDATE: BetMGM has officially launched sports betting in Missouri, marking a significant milestone for sports enthusiasts in the state. Following years of legislative delays, Missourians can now place bets at “The King of Sportsbooks.” This new opportunity comes with an enticing offer: a $1,500 first-bet bonus for new users using the bonus code MOLOCAL.
This development is crucial for local sports fans eager to engage in the betting action. As of December 1, 2025, BetMGM is fully operational, allowing residents to experience a new level of excitement surrounding sports events.
To take advantage of the $1,500 bonus, users must follow these steps:
1. Click any link or “Get Bonus” box on the BetMGM site.
2. The bonus code MOLOCAL will be automatically applied.
3. Create an account by entering a username, email, and password, and verify your age (21+).
4. Deposit a minimum of $10.
5. Place your first wager. If it loses, you will receive bonus bets back in increments based on your wager size.
For example, if you bet at least $50 and lose, you’ll receive 20% of that amount back in bonus bets. If you wager less than $50, you’ll receive a single bonus bet token. These bonus bets will be credited within 72 hours and expire in 7 days.
One of BetMGM’s standout features is the “Edit My Bet” function, which allows users to modify their wagers. If you see the “cash out” option next to your bet, you can adjust your wager by adding or removing bets from a parlay, or even increasing your stake if you feel confident in your selections.
BetMGM has partnered with Century Casinos, establishing retail sportsbooks at locations including the Century Casino & Hotel in Cape Girardeau and Caruthersville. However, as of now, there is no retail sportsbook at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Missouri residents can also take advantage of unrestricted college sports betting, enabling wagers on all in-state teams and player props.
As excitement builds, bettors are encouraged to seize this moment and explore the opportunities available with BetMGM. With the launch of sports betting in Missouri, a new era of sports engagement begins.
