Sports betting platform bet365 starts operations in Kansas, becoming the seventh sportsbook operator in the state
Kansas Expands Sports Betting Options with Bet365
Sports betting enthusiasts in Kansas have a new option to choose from, as Bet365 joined the state's growing sports betting market on July 30, 2025. This follows the initial launch of retail sportsbooks in September 2022, with online platforms following suit on September 28 of the same year.
Bet365, a well-known name in the global sports betting industry, has now become one of the live online operators in Kansas. They join established players like DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN BET, and Fanatics.
The sportsbooks currently available in Kansas include Fanatics Sportsbook, BetMGM Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, ESPN BET, FanDuel Sportsbook, Bally Bet Sportsbook, FOX Bet Sportsbook, and Golden Nugget Sportsbook. Some are still to launch or have yet to announce their launch dates.
Bet365's entry into the Kansas market marks the state's seventh active sportsbook. The company offers a wide range of sports betting options, and they have recently joined the Sports Betting Alliance (SBA), a lobbying group representing major U.S. operators. The SBA now has five members, with Bet365 being the latest addition, joining FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and Fanatics.
To make the betting experience more seamless, Bet365 has introduced two platform features: QuickSlip and BetSync. QuickSlip automatically fills the bet slip for faster wagering, while BetSync allows users to track bets across apps and partner platforms.
With up to 12 licenses anticipated in total, Kansas bettors currently have at least seven active sportsbooks to choose from, including Bet365. For more information about each sportsbook and their respective launch dates, please refer to the list below.
