Missouri is now just one step away from joining most other states in legalizing sports betting and being able to provide millions of dollars to Missouri classrooms, Cardinals President Bill DeWitt said in a statement. A vote for Amendment 2 in November is the right thing to do for both Missouri public schools and our favorite sports teams.
Winning for Missouri Education spent $6.5 million on the petition drive and submitted more than 340,000 signatures. The campaign was backed and funded by the teams as well as major sports betting operators.
Kansas already passed sports betting in 2022 and now many in the neighboring state are hoping to see betting go live soon as well. According to the Kansas City Star, a March poll found that 60% of likely voters favored legalization while 25% were against the measure and another 14% were uncommitted.
We are confident we have collected enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot, Ed Rhode, a spokesman for the organizers, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Meanwhile, our legal team is exploring all avenues to ensure this goes through.
