Kansas Daily Fantasy Sports (2026)
Conditional: Kansas exempts qualifying traditional daily fantasy sports but does not affirmatively license it.
Kansas exempts qualifying traditional daily fantasy sports but does not affirmatively license it. K.S.A. 21-6403 excludes a qualifying fantasy sports league from the definition of a bet but sets no minimum age, and no Kansas statute fixes one, so operators set their own - check the operator's terms. In 2023 the KRGC sent cease-and-desist letters to six "pick'em" operators.
