Odds for more sports betting expansion could fade after rapid growth to 38 states – Chicago Sun-Times

Data suggests Missourians - where sports wagering is still illegal - are interested in sports betting. From mid-June to mid-December, the technology firm GeoComply Solutions processed over 13.5 million location checks from 280,000 devices located in Missouri attempting to access mobile sports betting sites. About 48% were trying to use sportsbooks in Kansas, and 40% in Illinois. They were blocked from doing so. GeoComply also processed 42,000 location checks from 1,900 online sports betting accounts that traveled from Missouri to an Illinois border town in the past six months.
