Online Gaming in Kansas

Kansas does not permit online casino gaming or online poker. No legislation to legalize iGaming has advanced in the Kansas legislature as of 2025. Daily fantasy sports (DFS) remain legal and unregulated, with all major DFS operators active in the state.

In April 2013, the Kansas Senate failed to pass a measure that would have banned online gambling in the state. The online gambling ban was part of larger bill that was designed to bring a brick-and-mortar casino to the southeastern part of the state. The proposed ban would have changed the classification of online gambling to a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of $1,000. The bill failed to pass by a vote of 24 to 15.

In May 2015, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a bill into law that legalized real-money fantasy sports games in the state.

The 2018 Legislature briefly explored expanded gaming legislation, but deferred the issue for a year.

In September 2022, the Kansas Lottery announced that six online sportsbooks are approved to go live that month.
