5 Things To Know Before Selecting Kansas Sports Apps

It appears to only be a matter of time until the state of Kansas finally launches legalized and sports betting.

To date, nearly 30 U.S. states have legalized some form of online/mobile sports betting since the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 in 2018.

There is widespread belief that Kansas Sports Betting Apps will go live in the state at some point this year or in early 2023. The hope is that these sportsbooks will launch in time for the 2022 NFL season, which is just two months away now.

When Kansas eventually launched sports betting, you’ll have a plethora of options when it comes to apps/sportsbooks and wagers. Here are five important things you need to know before you select a sports app in The Wheat State.

1. Promo Codes & Welcome Bonuses

There is no shortage of popular major sportsbooks/betting sites in the U.S. states that have legalized gambling.

It can be difficult to choose the best possible sportsbooks to start out with when there are so many options in front of you. If you’re new to the sports betting life, you should look at the sportsbooks that are offering special promo codes and welcome bonuses.

For instance, sportsbooks like FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and DraftKings usually offer generous “risk-free bets” to new customers.

Caesars often offers new customers a risk-free bet offer of up to $1,500, while FanDuel, BetMGM and DraftKings usually offer $1,000. These are excellent offers for new sports gamblers who would like to start out slowly and cautiously.

Other sportsbooks will offer different perks including money in free play and sometimes a free sports jersey if you sign up right away.

The bottom line is that when Kansas sports betting eventually launches, new customers should take their time to look at what the promo codes and welcome bonuses that each sportsbook is offering. This is a fun and exciting way to get your betting lifestyle started.

2. Different Types Of Wagers

When it comes to sports wagers, you won’t be short of options in The Wheat State once this launches.

Some people like to keep it simple and bet on one game at a time: The straight-up winner or the point spread. For instance, if you’re a football fan in Kansas, maybe you’d wish to only bet on your favorite team during the regular season.

But there are all sorts of creative bets you can place. There is also a “Totals” bet in which you can bet on the over/under of a certain line.

For instance, if the over/under on a Kansas City Chiefs game is 49 points, you can bet if the total points scored in that game will be below or above 49. Or, maybe you’d like to bet on Patrick Mahomes throwing for over 300 passing yards.

Futures are also popular for avid sports bettors. You can place a wager on the division/ award winners and league champions in different sports leagues. For instance, the Chiefs have +950 odds of winning Super Bowl 57 (the third-best odds) over at FanDuel. The sportsbook also gives them the highest odds of winning the AFC West (+155).

3. Parlay Bets

If you’re keen on placing multiple sports bets over a short period of time, you don’t have to place them all separately.

For example, you may wish to bet on the winner of a specific NFL game, a Major League Baseball Game and an NBA which all fall on the same day. You can place a certain amount of money on all three of these teams winning, and if they’re victorious, you’ll get a nice payout.

Your odds of winning all these bets aren’t high, so the potential payout makes the risk worthwhile. If you love multiple sports, you shouldn’t be shy in placing several sporting events/games into one Parlay bet.

4. Online Casino Games 

If you live in Kansas and love visiting in-person casinos, you’ll likely be interested in the sportsbooks that go live in the state.

Several sportsbooks offer all sorts of your favorite games that can be played mobile and online, including poker, roulette, slot machines and blackjack.

You can get a casino experience with a simple tap on your phone from anywhere.

5. Available Customer Support

Another convenient thing to know about if you sign up for mobile/online Kansas sports betting: There is always customer support available should you ever run into problems.

Whether it’s a technical issue, a concern about payments or questions about betting, these sportsbooks supply convenient 24/7 support (via phone, email, online live chatting and more).
