The wait is finally over for Missouri customers looking to create a Caesars Sportsbook account. December 1 is still the launch date for Missouri sports betting, but the preliminary steps, such as registering and funding an account, have been given the green light.
Show Me State sports bettors ages 21 and over can now download the Caesars Sportsbook app on an Android or iOS device. Desktop users can create an account via the operator’s website. Existing customers who have an account in another state need to log in and follow the instructions to be eligible for the special welcome offer.
Anybody who registers for a Caesars Sportsbook Missouri account and deposits $5 or more by December 1 will receive added perks come launch day. New users can look forward to receiving five profit boost tokens each offering a 100% boost on winnings. Max bet is $25 per token with maximum additional winnings of $2,500. Additionally, Caesars is offering $150 in bonus bets if a customer’s first wager of at least $5 wins.
According to the press release, Missouri is going to be the first state where Caesars Sportsbook launches with its Universal Digital Wallet functionality. It allows for seamless transactions across Caesars platforms. This will be the 24th state in which the banking tool is available. It was rolled out to Nevada customers earlier this year.
The operator also announced plans to introduce its NFL Flips game to Missouri users next week. There will be a $100,000 bonus bet prize pool awarded on December 1.
Like other jurisdictions where the app is available, Missouri sports bettors can earn Caesars Rewards credits redeemable for dining credits and hotel stays.
“Sports fans in Missouri regularly show their passion for sports and supporting local teams,” Eric Hession, president of Caesars Digital, said. “We expect the Caesars Sportsbook mobile app with Universal Digital Wallet and the retail experiences we’re bringing to Caesars Reward destinations in the Show Me State to build on this passion.”
Caesars Entertainment operates Harrah’s Kansas City and Horseshoe St. Louis. Both properties are getting ready to open Caesars Sportsbook-branded retail locations. Details regarding size and amenities have yet to be posted on either property website. The company has yet to share any information regarding whether a political official or former athlete will be making a ceremonial first bet.
Missouri Gaming Commission (MGC) sports betting regulations allow for up to 14 mobile licenses. Besides Caesars, eight other operators have been approved for temporary licenses from the MGC. DraftKings and Circa secured the two untethered licenses, meaning they don’t need a market access partnership with a land-based casino or professional sports team. The other five are:
TheScore license originally belonged to ESPN Bet, but parent company Penn Entertainment has announced a change of plans. The ESPN Bet brand is coming to an end next month as the two parties mutually agreed to end their partnership.
Come 12:01 a.m. on December 1, Caesars Sportsbook and eight other sports betting apps will be live in the Show Me State.
