Kansas Eyes NFL Season for Sports Betting Launch, Governor Says Don’t Bet on Chiefs Move

The recently signed Kansas sports betting legislation goes into effect on July 1, potentially positioning the state to be ready for the start of the 2022 NFL season.Speaking of the NFL, Gov. Laura Kelly (D-KS) says Kansans should not bet on revenue from regulated sports wagering being enough to lure the Kansas City Chiefs from neighboring Missouri. Under the terms of the bill, 80% of state-earned revenue from regulated sports wagering will be funneled to the Kansas Department of Commerce fund. Those proceeds could be allocated to developing a professional sports venue in the state.
