DraftKings contributed another $5 million to bring legal online sports betting to Missouri, re-upping its commitment a month before Election Day.
DraftKings has now spent $15 million on the campaign. FanDuel has added $10 million…
The nation’s No. 2 mobile sportsbook by national market share operates a retail sportsbook across the Illinois state border in East St. Louis and offers mobile sports betting in six of Missouri’s eight neighboring states.
The latest contributions come in the campaign’s final stretch. Absentee ballots have begun being mailed out and early voting begins later this month. Election Day, the final chance to submit ballots, is Nov. 5.
DraftKings and FanDuel are hoping to secure public support with the new spending, much of it going to advertising and promoting the sports betting ballot measure.
