Caesars Sportsbook legal timeline
Where could Caesars Sportsbook launch next? - What our research says
Caesars is expected to expand further as more states legalize sports betting sites.
Several markets are showing strong signs of movement in 2025 and beyond.
Missouri and Minnesota are two of the most likely additions. Both have active legislation in progress and growing support from lawmakers and sports teams.
Georgia and Texas also remain key targets, with sports betting proposals gaining traction in recent sessions.
California remains the biggest prize but also the most complex. While legalization efforts have stalled, Caesars is positioned to enter quickly if a framework is approved.
We expect Caesars to prioritize states with large populations, strong casino presence, and retail partnerships already in place.
As legislation advances, Caesars’ reputation and reach make it a top contender wherever sports betting goes legal next.
