Foes of Missouri’s sports betting ballot item say the plan won’t help education much
After years of legislative inaction, popular sports betting apps FanDuel and DraftKings are funding a ballot initiative to allow for Missourians to place bets on their phones, in casinos and at sporting venues.
They are facing well-funded opposition: Missourians Against the Deceptive Online Gambling Amendment. This group says the measure known as Amendment 2 won’t actually provide much money to help education as proponents contend.
