With the deadline passed for untethered Missouri sports betting license applications, regulators confirmed three applicants.

FanDuel, DraftKings and Circa Sports applied for the two available untethered MO sports betting licenses, according to a spokesperson from the Missouri Gaming Commission. The deadline to apply for the untethered licenses was Tuesday.

Missouri sportsbooks will launch Dec. 1.

DraftKings and FanDuel applied for the untethered licenses prior to this week. The pair of operators contributed more than $40 million to the ballot initiative that legalized the industry in the Show-Me State.

Missouri will tax sports betting revenue at 10%. Untethered operators will not need to share revenue with market access partners in the state.
