- It is illegal for the newly regulated sports betting sites in Missouri to offer college player props for games involving in-state schools.
- Gamblers can still bet on in-state college player props in Missouri legally by using offshore sportsbooks.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Locally regulated sports betting sites and retail sportsbooks went live in Missouri on December 1st, 2025. These new sports betting platforms are not allowed to offer player props for collegiate sporting events involving teams from Missouri.
In-State College Player Prop Betting Restrictions in Missouri
Per section 11 CSR 45-20.360 subsection 2 A of the Missouri Code of State Regulations, legal sports betting sites in Missouri are not allowed to offer wagers on individual athletes participating in games involving in-state schools.
The exact text says that sports betting license holders may not allow wagers on:
“The performance or nonperformance of any individual athlete participating in a single game or match of a collegiate sporting event in which a collegiate team from Missouri is a participant.”
How does the College Player Prop Betting Restriction in Missouri Affect Bettors?
The in-state college player prop betting restriction in Missouri means that gamblers can’t bet on current stars like Mark Mitchell for the Missouri Tigers men’s basketball team.
The restriction also means that gamblers can’t bet on player props for teams facing Missouri-based schools. For example, bettors looking for player props for players on teams that faced the Missouri Tigers in football this season would not have been able to bet on the likes of Diego Pavia (Vanderbilt), John Mateer (Oklahoma), Marcel Reed (Texas A&M), or Ty Simpson (Alabama) when they played Mizzou this season.
Overall, the inability to bet on player props in games that involve college teams from Missouri at legal sports betting sites is a significant restriction for bettors in the Show-Me State.
How to Bet on College Player Props in Missouri
While newly-regulated sports betting sites in Missouri may not offer college props for in-state teams, it is still possible to bet on player props for those games.
To do so, bettors must use legal offshore sportsbooks like Bovada or BetOnline instead of locally-regulated platforms like DraftKings or FanDuel.
Using offshore sportsbooks is a common practice in other states with legal sports betting restrictions, like the player prop betting restriction for in-state teams in Missouri.
