PointsBet Holdings has been awarded provisional certification for sports wagering by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission.
Subject to receipt of final launch authorisation from the state, PointsBet will launch its sportsbook operations in Kansas on 1 September 2022.
Sports betting in Kansas was legalised in May 2022, when state Governor Kelly signed both online and retail betting into law.
The start of September will mark a soft launch for sports betting in the state, with the state officially launching sports betting operations on 8 September, in line with the first NFL game of the season.
